It might probably absolutely not come home but we can sing the song and enjoy football drunk nights out
Unless you're at any of the games, of course!
The positive bud bottle opening spin for those travelling fans is they won't be £70 + down at the stadium, waiting in berr ques and recovering from the scheduled England world Cup exit hangover.
If a bottle of diet coke cost the equivalent of £5 then perhaps not so lucky
Can't say I'm over engaged with this World Cup...mainly because of the incongruity of holding it in mid-winter. But, if no one else has pointed out, there are a record 11 ex-Charlton players on show:
CANADA - Liam Millar ENGLAND - Nick Pope, Conor Gallagher POLAND - Krystian Bielik SERBIA - Marko Dmitrovic, Milos Veljkovic WALES - Chris Gunter, Tom Lockyer, Jonny Williams, Dylan Levitt, Matthew Smith
Quite astonishing really. If you'd told me at any time in the recent past we'd be lodged mid-table in the third level of UK football but still have 11 of our former players in the World Cup I wouldn't have thought it possible.
Could have been even more as well, had Gomez made the England squad, Adam Matthews Wales, Michal Zyro Poland and Wollacott or Fosu-Henry been picked for Ghana.

I suspect the ludicrous press conference from Infantino today suggests that nations taking a stand is actually having an effect. I would hope they redouble their efforts to embarass and undermine Qatar.
Are we using this thread for the entire competition, or having a separate thread for each England game?
Predictions for Qatar vs Ecuador?
Realistically this is the only chance for Qatar to get anything out of their group stage, Senegal & Netherlands will be too strong. 10 years of preparation geared towards this match, i hope they get something out of it.

My prediction Qatar 2-0 Ecuador
I doubt that there will be two goals.
In their last ten games Equador have scored one and let in none!

Mike is Sam Alladyce...with Russel Slades CV, and a Steve mclaren personality rolled into one.
It's unusual, but the modern era is very different to the golden early mid 00s generation.
In the old days, we had a giant bag of knobheads, but they did at least have recognisable and memorable personalities.
The new fresh squad all mostly seem normal, respectful, young and professional. It's a good thing but it's just not what we're used to.
The front pages always used to feature becks, Terry, Rio, Rooney and probably another twat, always making off field mistakes.
Kane scores goals but he's not a clumsy careless egomaniac ruining his life. What's the world coming to?
