Bollocks. Everyone is welcome, as long as they stick to the laws, which are heavily linked to the Muslim faith, so yes, it is politics & religion mate

If you wouldn’t want this country changing its laws for a football tournament, why should Qatar or any other country for that matter

As you say ............Bollocks.

The best way to win a competition is to enter when there are no outstanding opponents.

I won a famous TV quiz (can't say which cos it might reveal my identity) because that year there were no quiz monsters like Kevin or Pat off Eggheads on the show.

By the same token, England have a good chance this year,

Whether that cross got a slight deflection of not, two direct assists for goals in three games is hardly being ‘anonymous’ as was the claim.

But if a 29 year old, with the second most England goals in history has had a couple of quiet games and is now a ‘busted flush’ Then let’s fuck him off and bring in a 30 year replacement with one England goal in his life to get the job done.

You don’t get it do you? Not Wilson, a front three of Phil, Fishfinger and Jack would cause more problems, backed up by Bellingham, Rice and Mount, young, dynamic and an attacking force instead of Kane, Sterling and Henderson, it’s a no brainer.

It’s an opinion. If it was a no brainer, you’d find more than the odd person agreeing with it.

Don’t agree about Mount but get your point.

If Brazil dont score in the next 10 mins this will be the first World Cup since 1994 when not one team won all 3 group games

And England come out of the group stages with the best record. Supposedly from the most statistically most difficult group. Can only mean defeat to Senegal!

It's safe to say this world cup is wide open. A team that is comfortable in its system has every chance to do well. The odd talented player can carry a team - as Mbappe and Griezmann have shown, but Morocco and Japan winning their groups has shown that there's also something in just working hard in a certain system. England have the tournament experience and comfort in a system to go far in this tournament. It's whether we're able to play with the confidence we need to go and win the tricky games. Our win over Germany in the Euro's showed that we can do it despite the weight of expectation and history against us. If we play France that will be a real test. Do we worry about their players or do we play to our own strengths? For me, without so many key players they're a good side rather than a great one. Walker can deal with Mbappe. You'd want Rice to just follow Griezmann around and then we have plenty of talent to hurt them defensively.

The world rankings are slightly skewed but plenty of the big boys are out or got through by the seat of their pants. We're doing alright so far!

The team that i think is the most 'team' like is Croatia. Very tidy with the ball, all moving togather whether going forward or defending. My outside tip to reach the final
