Should be limited to 32 teams; 8 groups of 4 and no need for this 'best 3rd place teams' rubbish

That stat about Netherlands not losing a World Cup game in 90 minutes since 2006 is wild. Even then they’ve only lost one in 120 minutes once since too (2010 final).

Na, just a communal sing-a-long. Something like that Man City fan pretending to drink out that bottle with an Arsenal badge on it tops it for me

Still crazy they didn’t qualify for 2018, considering how they performed in the previous 2 world cups.

Unpopular opinion: now that they've gone to 48, they may as well bump it up to 64 and even out the groups.

Ivory Coast well on top.

They seem to have a lot of control and authority in games .

 

Also VAR has been quick.
