I'm going to try and get a few early finishes from work and catch some of the games.  I can't see far beyond a Brazil win, playing at home in a climate they're used to.  I think the European teams are going to struggle in the heat and humidity.

Skiving off work to watch the football? Don't let the boss catch you! (Adele, that is!) ;D

I'm bored with the whole thing already.

My local cinema is showing films fro the ladies when the footie is on. So my choices seem to be football or chick flick.

Chick Flick every time. There again, I have a Cineworld Unlimited card and am not averse to going off on my own to a chick flick at the best of times. My friends will tell you that I have no taste when it comes to movies and will watch pretty much any genre except horror.

Who was that? My team won the other night, I was supporting Italy  :D

A Geordie mate of mine once told "You Jocks are lucky B*ST*RDS, you get two teams in the World Cup, Scotland and anyone else who's playing England!"

Wouldn't be so funny if it weren't true.

Reading this thread -late I know but I've been on me hols- I've just found out the meaning of apathy. I will watch all of the big team games and some of the smaller ones as well for the next three weeks as I have done every four years since the glory days of 1966. So is my son and even Ma Subs is slowly coming round to our way of thinking. Mind you, in her defence, she will always watch an England game.


You lot.  :o :o ;)

2017 Paint-Off - Winner!

Techno

Have to admit, I've already seen more than I was expecting to.

Of my 'four teams with the best chance to win' before the competition started, I've only been really impressed by Germany.
Brazil & Argentina were OK, but not as good as I thought they'd be......Spain ?.....Oh dear. oh dear ! (Well, I suppose they lost their first game last time and then went on to win...Be surprised if they repeat that !)

Holland though !.....Blimey ! :-bd

Cheers - Phil

Careful Phil, I know lots of people from the Netherlands that would get irate at you calling them Holland
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

So ... this football thing .... has it started yet?

Only managed to catch one game so far - Greece getting rightfully stuffed by the Columbians. Wouldn't write off the Spanish just yet, though.

Football - is that the one with the big "H" things at the end of the field, or the one with the tall black men with orange balls?
