This is actually close to the average salary of a Russian international footballer.

24 teams is stupid. Having a round of 16 with 24 teams is stupid.

We had not left it yet, but when I would wake in the night, I would lie, listening, homesick for it already.

Yeah I'm looking now and there's actually really exciting scorelines, I'm wondering where I got the "group stage being slow" thing from now.

Only when I breathe.
Wales have gone through to the next round, but they do so knowing they've already lost against the other team in the group, and that they will lose if they play them again. And really, what kind of hollow victory is that?

Spain scored 3 but they didn't do it against a European team so I don't think it counts.

Brazil were held aloft by virtue of playing against weaker opponents and had to resort to mortal kombat to make it through at the later stages. Unless you're not talking about the 2014 World Cup.

Actually, off the top of my head because Greece was particularly poo poo but won anyway. Then I remembered the other two.

England only needs to be more poo poo than it already is to bring football back home. Or Wales.
