That structure reminds me of the seating used at the London Olympics in some venues, especially the Volleyball arena inside Earls Court.
I'm sure it's perfectly safe but
a) I wouldn't like to be up there in a thunderstorm with that metal and no roof
b) I'm really afraid of heights so that back row would be a nightmare for me!
c) The absence of a back wall is surely dangerous, what is someone drops something from the top through the gaps (which could happen accidentally e.g a coin from a pocket)
A weird view, the framing of the stadium makes it look like you're watching a giant screen1 -
10,000 people going mental when a goals scored on it worries me.4

I don't rate our chances at all.but if we could just somehow beat Belgium I would die a happy man.3

I liked this bit...
Do you love America a lot?
Yes = South Korea
No = Iran5 -
I like that they've done this rather than building huge stadiums that will be rarely used or if they are be about 20% capacity. Seems much more sensible for sustainability and I'm sure it is safe. The very last thing Russia and FIFA want is a tragedy happening.cafctom said:
In fairness it looks as though you can see the game without any problem whatsoever, it's just bit of an odd/unique view.Callumcafc said:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RAkiSOiUKY
Some bloke watching a match at that stadium. Skip to 4:30.1 -

Might have had a chance if Cross was partnered with Smith1 -
You can forgive Dave Chisnall though based on his sparkling personality and witpaulie8290 said:

Hopefully there will be nothing on the Belgium game. I think they will have the same sentiment to be fair! Of course finishing top of the group could be important, but not getting out of the group is unthinkable!0

England have a 4% chance of winning the World Cup.

No.
England 16s, Peru 250/1.0 -
Betting odds reckon we have just over 5% chance but I'd reckon that's a bit inflated by home bias.MuttleyCAFC said:

They actually give Peru 0.5% chance of winning it so if you're willing to put your trust in Gracenote's research, then stick a fiver on Peru to win the World Cup at 250/1 with Sky or Victor.0 -
Is already bullshit the fact that Brazil have a 20% chance of winningMacronate said:https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44383950

Peru are at 5%.
They're the only South American Nation to win a World Cup in Europe and that was back in 1958
Dont see that changing any time soon either0 -
Its all bullpoo.
Spain and Argentina more chance than France how about no0 -
I was a big critic of Henderson for England but he has improved his passing and can play the water carrier role for the side. Does lots of defensive covering.grumpyaddick said:Am I missing something about Henderson?

Henderson was straight over into the Left-Back slot to cover until he got back1 -
I think the issue is not whether Henderson should play, is more who plays with him. I don't think a similar player should, like Dier,2

I don't think Southgate will do that either. I hope.MuttleyCAFC said:I think the issue is not whether Henderson should play, is more who plays with him. I don't think a similar player should, like Dier,
