I’m trying to get excited about this World Cup, but to no avail :-((.
I’ve just watched Sky Sports World Cup preview with Gary Neville, Jamie Redknapp, Jamie Carragher & Karen Carney. Utterly depressing viewing. Same old, same old. Picking players for the starting XI not playing for their clubs, or totally off form.
I’m hoping this thread can get the juices flowing.
Do any of you think England have a chance? |  | | |  |

Keane and Souness have become a parody of themselves recently. They were so angry about Brazil the other night was ridiculous |
Agree, they seem to lack the ability to take the mic out of themselves, which is what makes McCoist so engaging.
If he says something in the heat of the moment that is silly or just plain wrong he will usually own up and make a joke out of it. |  | | |

Brian Morre was similiar in 1986 going on about the time difference every night. |
That Mexico World Cup was the first time I'd heard Moore as we'd just moved back to England.
He was so repetitive that in our house he was known as "Heat and Humidity" Man. |  |

Even my missus, who knows less about football than I do about nuclear physics, is laughing at the inane commentary now. |  |

although Roy Keane and Souness never look happy .....................anywhere! 
Lee Dixon also pretty good I think. |
Lee Dixon !!!! He is awful
Close your eyes next time he does commentary and forgot who he is for a moment
He sounds like Karl Pilkington |  |
| And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

I watched a couple of American streams with Warren Barton and Landon Donovan they were pretty good as a duo. [Post edited 7 Dec 2022 22:07]

Had ITV had enough of Turdsley's Ronaldo witterings the other night and he's been hauled over the coals?

Twice this week, I've had a ribbing from French people about the QF on Saturday.
We've got a big do planned for my 70th birthday ( no, I don't look that old, thank you) and FIFA go and arrange a big match to clash with my birthday party.

Ouch, bad timing!
Because of my QPR connections some people here ask me if I will support England or France :)
I will support France of course, but I hate England v France in footy or rugby. They always seem to bring about the nasty nationalistic sides on both sides and are uncomfortable with my UK colleagues family and friends.
I really really hope for a non controversial result, no VAR or refereeing nonsense, no malice either side and that the best team wins (which I hope is France of course ;) |  | | |

Unfortunately England v anyone brings out nasty nationalistic stuff, mainly from our stupid red-top newspapers. | | | |

Its my Sister-in-Law's 60th party at the same time as the game as well, fortunately she is interested enough to allow her guests to watch it, though it's another reason to want to avoid extra time.
Enjoy your party, shame being an hour ahead eats into it even more. Not looking forward to Burnley with a hang-over, I was grumpy enough at the prospect as it was. |  | | |

He was always duye home after the 2nd round, ITV only have 4 more live games and Matterface doing 3 of them I think. Thats a miserable bit of news for everyone on a Friday |  | | |

I hear that Robbie Williams has done a private performance for the England squad. Fancy making them watch that before an important match! Poor bà stards. | | | |

I assume the message from the Southgate was "if we beat France then you won't have to listen to him again". Good management that.
I'm feeling fairly relaxed about tomorrow night - mainly because quarter finals are about par for England in tournaments; also because when we tend to play "lesser" teams there's an expectation England should win. Not the case tomorrow, just hope it's a great game and we have a bloody good go.
Two cracking games today! |  |

I heard a stat the other day that England have only beaten a team higher in the fifa rankings once at a World Cup.But we’ve won 11 times against teams lower than us.Tomorrow would be a good time to make it twice. |  | | |

From the BBC Football page; "World Cup latest: Portugal boss says 'leave Ronaldo alone'".
Nah, not having that. if you're going to act the way he has, including 'managing' the Euro2016 Final, the last twenty years or so then he's going to attract attention to that. Actions & consequences. | | | |

From the BBC Online Commentary, not sure this was justified, whatever you think of Neymar.

Croatia 0-0 Brazil
Ooof! Talk about a cynical foul. Croatia's Marcelo Brozvic goes into the book for dumping over Neymar. | | | |
