I'm genuinely grateful to have been lucky enough to have grown up and lived through a period of time where the country I happened to be born in have had a genuinely good, kindhearted and wholesome King. Especially given the historical record of Royals and their extended family throughout history throughout the world... 

 

That said, I also acknowledge the fact my opinion about the King of Norway may be rather biased given the fact I've met him on several occasions and that he's visited my parents farm and sat in the same sofa I'm sat on right now as I write this  

 

We really, really, need to abolish the monarchy when the sad day comes that King Harald inevitably kicks the bucket, though. All the others in the direct line of inheritance, and their partners, are all accursed heinous fucked up psychopathic people – like the majority of all royals throughout history. We lucked out having one of the rare good ones, that's for sure

Hearing that guys accent just makes me think of a video I saw on Reddit of a Swedish guy laughing at another Swedish guy doing an impression of a Norwegian so now I have to go & find it

Brazil thumped Panama last night, excited to see if Don Carlo can bring back the Brazil magic for this World Cup.
 

I have a feeling he might.

Brazil looked so poor in the first half. Midfield two of Casemiro and Bruno doesn’t work and Panama were the better team until he changed the tactics in the 2nd half. Danilo (ex Nottingham Forest) and Paqueta with Fabinho behind worked far better as theyre far more dynamic.
 

One friendly to go but have a feeling Bruno could potentially lose his spot to Danilo if not before, during the World Cup.  Danilo is playing extremely well and looked quite the player before his leg break.

Some good new rules but a few shitty ones especially the corners one

Teams aren't allowed to go to their managers when the keeper goes down injured.

But if they do we can't do owt about it..

 

They've thought that one through well

Reminds me of the time that piece of shit Steve Wraith and the NUFC Matters mongrels stole that lad’s Dan Burn illustration to stick on the front of one of their tacky Fruit of the Loom T-shirts to sell.

England will be wearing their red away kit against Panama. Panama whose home kit is red. So they'll also be in their away kit. Which is white.

 

Someone drop a Dyche for me. Livid.

Panama have to wear three different kits .

 

I loved that ESPN have ranked all 105 kits, mind you. Might get a spreadsheet out and try to do the same.

Also anyone got any recommendations on the best World Cup wallcharts? I used to do the Guardian and WSC way back when, but this is my first World Cup in the UK for 20 years, somehow. Fuck, only just realized that.
