Scotland are going to have a weird time of it. Everyone on the planet will support Ukraine against them, but if they then win, everyone will support Scotland against England. Wales, meanwhile, have a similarly entertaining opportunity against England, and they're better than Scotland too, and absolutely nobody cares about them. But I guess the Welsh are used to this by now. |

There's something unsettling about England's group. Wales, USA and Iran, they're all just about not-shit but still-quite-shit enough to beat us. They also all hate us, which adds to the trepidation on my part. It's one thing to lose to Ghana or Croation, but the Yanks? We mustn't allow this to happen. |

They also have an entire continent that's completely empty and they don't want to live in it, but when refugees from other countries show up asking to live in a tiny corner of Australia's endless desert, Australians won't even let them land. I remember I saw a question online once, asking how South Africa was perceived by other countries, and I was quite proud when I said it was seen as like a more racist Australia. But it really isn't that much more racist. I certainly shan't be listening to anyone who ever tells me it's offensive to wear a hat with corks on it for fancy dress. |

Gonna have to change things up in the second half.

I remember seeing on the news somewhere, presumably Qatari news channel al-Jazeera, that the World Cup final would take place at 7pm. I travelled across the country today to visit my family for the Christmas period, and planned it carefully to arrive a bit before 7pm so I could still watch the match. As the rest of you fucks know, but did not fucking tell me, that was 7pm Qatar time and it was at three o'clock. I missed it. I tried following online on the train, but it just wasn't the same. |
