Hello fuckers, we have a World Cup coming up in two weeks and this is the thread to get loving excited about it!!! The groups are set and they look like this:



Here are your dates for the groups:



Here are your dates for the knockouts:



Germany are the defending champions and they are one of the favorites heading in to this tournament. Brazil, Spain and France are also good shouts according to bookmakers. VAR, the Video Assistant Referee, aka video replay system, will be in full effect for this tournament meaning that Russia will probably find a way through to the knockouts if you know what I mean.

If you want to make a thread for a match day, go for it! If you want to make a thread for a national team, also go for it! Please post in here if you would like to reserve a team. Remember to sponsor your thread! See the existing threads for details.

First match is between.....Russia and Saudi Arabia. Should be uhhh real fuckin good, right. If there are matches on a day and you don't see a thread for that matchday already, please create one! You can do this the day before as well. One thread per matchday seems reasonable to me.

There's a bunch of really fail rear end teams that didn't make the tournament on account of monumental disasters of sport this year including Italy, the United States, the Netherlands and Chile so don't ask where they are because they are not here and they're not going to be here! If you are from one of those nations this is your chance to bandwagon behind a team without feeling guilty! There are no spectators here, only supporters! I'm putting my big plate of spaghetti behind The Mighty Three Lions; it's coming home.

If you truly believe that it's coming home, you should probably put some money on it: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3859175

Everyone crack a Baltika, put on the piss tape and lets get this loving thing going!!!!!!

I guess I could do it. In a true Argentinian fashion it'll be rushed, half assed, and in awful english.
And the country's best striker is Lautaro Martinez.
