No Alex Sandro or David Luiz in the Brazil squad.

Anyone else going to donate to Amnesty International to assuage the moral guilt of watching the tournament?

That Brazil squad isn’t strawberry floating about.

Dani Alves out for six months. Felipe Luis isn’t guaranteed to make it either.

The Alves injury probably does Brazil a favour. I think they need someone a bit more defensive on the right side to counter Marcelo who is great attacking wise but can leave gaps exposed defensively.

Big fan of Douglas Costa's squad pic there

Predictor league anyone?

See how pleased Paulinho looks...no bloody wonder.

Not much to say at the moment apart from that song's pretty gooseberry fool.
Looking forward to the tournament though.

I'm saving that for 2022. Nothing like a World Cup built on slavery.

Will be tuning in for the violence.

Looking forward to it, though it's still a national scandal that the panini stickers are 80p per pack.

location: a disgrace
ball: very nice
song:
mascot: looks like a furries wank-material

4/10

England to qualify second in group then get kicked out of tournament to much consternation and concern about the prem tiring players. etc. etc.

I'm ready for this. My Panini album is complete, I've got World in Motion on my Spotify playlists, and once Liverpool win the Champion's League the fun can begin.

Costco sell them in bulk packs that work out at about 50p each.
