The last 12 years have been shocking. Hell, I couldn’t even name the starting 11 from the top of my head these days, so uninspiring.

If Iran and Morocco were playing each other in my garden I would shut the curtains. But that is what the World cup is about ffs, to watch ALL games, no matter who's involved! Shameful

Shameful I always try to watch as much games as possible during world cups. I must have missed only about 8 games during 2014 World Cup.

Not for me mate, not for me. Thank fuck we won those fuckers last year... I remember I started drinking in the morning that day while I was travelling on a train to the game (it was full of people from Iceland!), then went to the pub with other supporters, bought a 40% 0.25l liquor bottle which I smuggled in the stadium, we won, then went to some dodgy club, I remember there being some goth girl and then woke up at my mate's flat with the worst hangover ever We flew to Budapest the same day (we'd play against Kosovo in Albania a couple of days later) and I had to get some painkillers and more alcohol to keep going that morning😂😂 But that's why I love football and supporting Always great memories.

Even though that horrendus day is still livid in our minds (7x1), I do believe Brazil is stronger now and has a chance to win this cup. If not, wish Portugal or France do it!

I think it is a bit telling that lubeck posted the squads of Iceland and Costa Rica, but didn't bother with Sweden. That's how boring it is, but it's the one that got us there so it's hard to complain too much. But it has got to be the most anonymous World cup (Swedish)squad since... 1978 maybe. The more I look at it, the more I feel that this team pulled off a miracle.

So here's Sweden Team: Robin Olsen - Kristoffer Nordfeldt - Karl-Johan Johnsson Andreas Granqvist - Victor Nilsson - Mikael Lustig - Ludwig Augustinsson - Pontus Jansson - Emil Krafth - Filip Helander - Martin Olsson Sebastian Larsson - Gustav Svensson - Albin Ekdal - Emil Forsberg - Viktor Claesson - Jimmy Durmaz - Marcus Rohdén - Oscar Hiljemark Marcus Berg - John Guidetti - Isaac Kiese-Thelin - Ola Toivonen

Brazil has a better team than that of 2014, that is the good thing I can say about them. In 2014 there was an euphoria for that team because WC was in Brazil and they won that shit Confederations Cup against Spain, an euphoria that was in fact hiding their mediocrity.

That would be cool to have a poll to know what are forumers bets for the title.

And Giroud without a 9 to sub if there's a injury? That's poor planning.

As an England fan I really think this is our year.
Only joking. I do like our squad and the way Southgate has got the team playing. I just want to see some good performances and the feeling that we are progressing. Quarter Finals would be good.

I'd really like to see Egypt win because Mo Salah's my favorite player since David Silva shaved his head to kiss Pep Guardiola's ass.
Egypt will never win, but...
شكر.

I don't fully understand Deschamps plan, yet again.
