psyched for the irish/polish/nigerian prospects tbph

the first tournament contested by a team of dogs

as a response to the controversial android referees of 2034, FIFA allows Howard Webb to oversee proceedings from a rocket chair

I regret ever starting this thread

"seventy-two years of hurt" really doesn't scan very well

FIFA president Manish Bhasin demands an in-ball camera for maximum viewer excitement but the resulting footage causes over 40 cardiac arrests worldwide and the venture is discreetly scrapped

tbh some of the lustre of this tournament has faded since the US, China, Iraq and Germany formed the breakaway Elite World Soccerball Tournament in Association with Miller Genuine Draft

The in-ball cameras were in the qualifiers obv, I'm bang up for what they've got planned for us in the tournament, which starts today

But first, the opening ceremony. Lovely to see Nikki Minaj step out from her ten years of embittered reclusion to sing for us while being swung around the sky in a giant hammock (or so the rumours would gave it)

I was weak but for a moment

Five years ago this would have been a bloody legendary thread with seventy posts already

We want seventy posts on this issue from you.
