It all kicks off tomorrow in Russia as the hosts play Saudi Arabia.
I got Brazil as my favourites.
Anyone else watching it? Who do you think will win?

No. Not USA.
I'm glad they're not in it, literally no one is talking about this. Far better than everyone faking it for a few weeks.

USA, Canada and Mexico to host the 2026 World Cup. A long way off yet but at least they qualify as hosts. Actually, I've never seen three nations qualify as hosts before except for Ukraine and I think Poland in the Euros a while ago. Long deserved though I think. The USA has been developing football more and they have top quality stadiums ready to go.

And how will Spain fare after sacking their head coach a day before the tournament starts? Am really looking forward to it, I assume one of Germany, Spain or Brazil will win. History suggests that it will be a European team to win.

Terrible opening match so far. It’s sunday league standard fare. Still thoroughly enjoying it though as I do all WC’s.

I'm passively paying attention with no US. Can't say I'm rooting for anyone, except maybe against Russia like everyone else.

I don’t dislike the Russian team the same as I don’t dislike Russian people, it’s Putin and his cronies I hate as much as Theresa May et al and Trump and his stooges. Politics should be kept out of football. BUT, on the other hand, can you imagine just how smugly unbearable Putin and Trump will be if Russia did bloody win it , so yeah I’m with you, I don’t want Russia to win As long as Portugal, Argentina, Uruguay or France don’t win I’ll be happy. Feels weird without Holland and Italy though. Glad Peru made it. I’m calling Brazil to win it though.

Can't believe Mexico beat Germany. Mexico may actually have a chance of winning World Cup.

Spain, Portugal, Germany, France, Argentina, Brazil all look vulnerable. A proper 'underdog' has never won the world cup. If it will ever happen this seems like the best opportunity. Mexico done very well yesterday, executed their game plan to perfection and could have easily scored 3 or 4.

All the big teams are flopping. Southgate has to just play attacking and let the players have fun and score. The Germans looked a mess last night.

Hmmm, I wouldn’t really think too far ahead about all teams underperforming in their opening games. Belgium have been plop so far, Panama have been equally as bad but showing more heart. Martinez has been crap since Dave Whelan gave him the ‘best in the world’ kiss of death I’m still sticking with Brazil.

It's better than being a Team USA bandwagoner chanting "I believe that we can win... next time since we didn't even qualify this go round". Bend it like Beckham! (Did I get it right?)
