Very sad news for Cody Gakpo  and his partner.

 

Condolences to them .

I don't know him, he doesn't know me, but anyone suffering a loss like this deserves a couple of seconds thought from a complete stranger. They won't know I've thought about their loss, but I do.

10pm is such a perfect time to watch a football match, love it

Unless you have to fetch your daughter from work at 10 and you can't have a couple of beers during the build up.

After a decent performance to beat the Czechs, it's disappointing to see how badly Korea tailed off to end up going home early. 

It was, I had high hopes for Korea, they’ve got an excellent technical team, with some outstanding talent. Was it a case of being too coached that was their undoing?

Judging by the reaction in Hanguk, they are pinning it pretty much entirely on the coach for poor tactical decisions. Not too much coaching, just bad decision making that got punished.

Yep, he's jumped before being pushed.

Just actually looked at the draw and the likely brackets for the first time. I know this won't be news to anyone but I've not really been properly paying attention.

 

Argentina, Brazil, England, France, Netherlands, Spain all on one side of the draw along with current dark-horses / major banana skins Japan and Morocco. That's the entire top six and seven of the top eight teams in the world currently.

 

Funnily enough, the USA aren't on that side of the draw.

 

They've got a Germany to worry about who went out in the group stages of the last World Cup and wobbled past the Ivory Coast and an underwhelming Portugal that just struggled with Congo. And they'll only face one of them and in the Semi Final. Other major "heavyweights" on their side of the draw include Switzerland, Bosnia and Egypt.

 

Interesting that.

 

 

This is what I get for trusting AI. Gemini absolutely ballsed this up didn't it, it's a load of nonsense. 

 

USA actually in the bracket with France, Germany, Spain, Netherlands, Morocco, et all. 

 

It's actually you jammy bastards that have the muck. Hardest team on your side of the draw is a Brazil that are so mid they might not even get that far. Think you'd comfortably beat both them and Argentina. Pretty handy ties for England.

What have the games actually been like? I’ve only watched a handful of games. 
 

Just realised I haven’t actually seen much about the general quality & entertainment 

 

Same as every world cup group stage, mostly meh with a small handful of unexpected bangers.

What's the reason, I wonder?

I guess they already had a ticket. But why not just sell it? They change hands for thousands online.

 

Then you can just go and enjoy the game.
