I actually quite enjoyed that. Slight bit of cringe was Ferdinand offering out the chap interviewing the audience.

Rio Ferdinand is a plank

Harsh on Ferdinand, thought he was the only one who looked like they knew what they were doing there

Fifa's big idea is to set up the best chance of blockbuster ties in the latter stages of the World Cup.

So for the first time it is giving special seeding status to the top four in the world rankings - Spain, Argentina, France and England.

Yep hate that they’ve done that. Also having 3 hosts counted as pot one teams skews the groups, though if either wales or N.I make it they will enjoy being in that Canada one.

If anyone is looking for a change of vibe, I can recommend Fermented Offal Discharge by Necrophagist and Papyrus Containing the Spell to Preserve its Possessor Against Attacks From He Who Is In The Water by Nile. Also, anything by Nile, really.

Tremendous songs.

Imagine giving a convicted criminal who is also alleged to be involved with Jeffrey Epstein and encouraging war crimes to be awarded the “peace award”.

This is it. Until that point the whole thing is a yawn fest, and I can barely give a shit.
