Not worthy of a thread - 2018 FIFA World Cup edition


Recommended Posts

...And on a more personal note, my beloved pet tortoise ran away from me during a family picnic there when I was 7. The scar still remains. So no win for France from me for picking that site, like.

I’d love to go to Russia like one day and I do hope there is no trouble as they get a lot of bad press and I feel it’s unfair on a lot of their people. The ones I’ve met here in the UK (we have a small community of them in Newcastle) have been spot on, but fucking crazy :lol:

Weinstein fan of the day - Jorge Sampaoli. A huge scandal is brewing in Argentina as the iconic gaffer is being accused of sexually harassing the lady who is the chef cook for the national team. Some even suggest that the head of their Federation tried to bribe the woman so that the story would be swept under the carpet. Supposedly, they will sack him after the World Cup irrespective of the outcome. Oh, the drama. Now, I don't want to generalize, but there is indeed something sinister in some of the lads with those sleeve long tatts. Especially, if they're bald and are over the age of 40.

 

Iceland had a road cone accidentally included in their team photo when they arrived at Euro16, so they now take it everywhere and put it in front of them as a good luck charm. Oh those mental herring eaters :lol:

 

More and more forrins coming over, walking our streets, drinking our booze and all. Those forrin forrins. Got texts from friends in St Petersburg and Nizhni Novgorod about large groups of Colombians and Italians walking around, shopping, taking pictures and acting all touristy. Forrins. 

 

Robbie Williams and the original (and best) Ronaldo will be a part of the pre-game show on opening day. Don't really mind Robbie, but I would opt for a Peace Sells performance from Megadeth and perhaps a bit of of good old 50 Cent with something like Candy Shop to get the crowd going.

 

Jose Mourinho, Stan Collymore and Peter Schmeichel will be covering the tournament for RT, prompting all sorts of magnificent accusations and word "allegedly" being bandied around. Personally, I am not familiar with their sporting shows, but might tune in and watch to see if there is anything fun and informative there. Probably boring and cliche-infested match roundup and a few chats with fans before and after the games. I mean, Peter Schmeichel with all the charisma of Peter Schmeichel. Jose being Jose. And Collymore potentially telling stories about his fun in the parking lots. I would ask Cantona, Gazza and Ronaldinho do the shows. Now that would be epic. With star appearances from Edmundo, Maradona and Effenberg. Imagine the insanity of it all :lol:

Edmundo man, what a player he was, wasn’t he called the animal or something?

 

Is your country starting to really get hyped for the WC Fedyan and do you think there will be any problems of a hooliganism nature? I hope not.

 

Hopefully it will be an exhibition of football where the top players shine, new prospects emerge and there will be goals and incidents aplenty.

I would be amazed if there are any major kick offs in Russia, the authorities will take a pretty dim view I imagine. Given the strong links between the authorities and the hooligan gangs, their human rights record and desire to look diverse and inclusive to the watching world I suspect they have been told to stay indoors

I've been to a fair few games in Russia (including a couple of Zenit games with igorstp who used to post on here) and the OMOH who police all the games are simply not to be fucked with. I once spent 20 minutes in the back of one of their big six wheeler trucks, and it was easily one of the most terrifying experiences if my life.

I suspect there'll be little or no bother.

Is it rose tinted glasses or were the strikers in 1998 overall a different gravy to what's around now. Watching the 1998 World Cup film on History Channel and you've got Ronaldo, Henry, Batistuta, Shearer, Vieri, Kluivert, Salas, Suker, Bergkamp, Owen, Bierhoff, Klinsmann, Raul...

No, I can totally see this happening. Big Sampaoli fan, but I gotta agree.
