Yes Ill be watching…because its like a drug, drawn to it even though you know its not any good. So few games that scream out….”that should be a cracker” Still the man who murders folks without trial got the peace award he demanded from FIFA. Spare a thought for scotland……how many times have they faced brazil on their rare appearances at the finals? |  | | |  |

Panama aren't unknown - we thumped them 6-1 in Quatar and Ghana haven't even qualified for the upcoming Afcon. Croatia aren't the team they were either. Should be fairly straightforward. Last 16 however we could be playing Mexico in Mexico City. |  |

It’s a good question. I always used to answer Dale, hands down, but I’m not too sure anymore. As we have tasted promotion now but haven’t the World Cup, in my lifetime, I think I’m slightly favouring winning the World Cup. |  |

When England won in '66, the benefits that flowed through the game reached all levels, with increased enthusiasm and higher gates if Dale aren't back in the football league by the time the WC kicks off, winning it could help with Project 5000 and then no reason for Dale not to subsequently be promoted The entire focus should remain on Dale being back in the EFL by next summer |  |
