World Cup Kickoff Thread

No, I'm from near Pontefract! I live in sunny Berkshire now though. 😎
I find Spain boring or irritating to watch when they play football (the men's team that is). They tend to either pass thr ball endlessly to each other - with the occasional burst of an attack once they've bored the opposing team to a stupor - or they are rolling about on the ground trying to claim a free kick because someone ran past them too closely. 🤔
That's only my opinion though, others seem to think they are a great team.

Oh 😂 A fellow Yorkshire person then? I can't believe you've left the best county in the world! 😉
I don't like it when they roll around either. Just get up and play! Oh yeah I know what you mean about just passing it between each other. It makes for a very boring game, much like the England v Ghana match.

Soooo does that mean Switzerland are in or still undecided? 😅
I think this is the most I've ever cared about football

Which part of Yorkshire are you from Rachel? I moved down south for a job years ago, and just ended up staying.

Tonight we're rounding off another three groups of the World Cup.
Group E:
9pm (BST): Curaçao (@WhatThe and @Stringer83x) v Ivory Coast (@66Mustang and @cityjacko)
9pm (BST): Ecuador (@Viran007 and @juliehall) v Germany (@WelshBlue and @jfc9419)
Group F:
12am (BST): Japan (@DazzaC) v Sweden (@yellowpineapple84)
12am (BST): Tunisia (@ripley13) v Netherlands (@argh and @Nigel_56)
Group D:
3am (BST): Paraguay (@kieran04) v Australia (@Elaine1961)
3am (BST): Turkey (@allycat17 and @slimjohn) v United States (@Shar17on)
What do you think will happen? Who's qualifying out of the brutal Group F? Does the US make it three wins from three? Will Ecuador manage to score a goal in this world cup?

That's exactly what I think of Spain's style of play 😉

Originally from South Yorkshire but now live in West Yorkshire. I've been out a few times in Pontefract @Scooby222!
As I know very little about these teams @Adrian_Scope I'm going to cheer on Sweden! No reason why 😂 Have I chosen well? @yellowpineapple84 might agree!

@Rachel_Scope Hello :) I’m from the north too but moved close to London some years ago. I really like Japan, they play exciting, forwards football with players interchanging positions so smoothly I can’t tell who are supposedly the midfielders and who are supposedly the forwards. Japan are a running team and advance rapidly up the field and have shots at goals from here, there and everywhere which is very exciting. In short, they are everything that England aren’t
Although I don’t think Japan have anything to play for tonight whereas Sweden do so I’m going to say Japan draw rather than win
I also think Ivory Coast win, Ecuador draw, Netherlands win, Paraguay draw, Turkey draw :)

One thing I like about the Japan team @yellowpineapple84 is how tidy they leave their changing room. It's so respectful and kind. Football-wise, I haven't a clue 😂

Oh what a goal, what a move by Japan. Blessed, vibrant Japan. The press, the counter press, the interchanging of positions, the rapid transitions. Let’s go Japan ⚽️

So, that was an eventful night, but I'm glad to see my dark horse pick to go quite far have actually started to come good. Well done Ecuador.

Switzerland are through to the last-32. They'll play on 3 July, but their opponent has yet to be decided. Right now it's projected to be Algeria, which I would imagine Switzerland would handily beat…
