No early kickoffs any more, games gone.

At 3:00 UK time (best time) Ecuador are playing Senegal and Netherlands are playing Qatar. Everyone but Qatar could still qualify for the next round so if I were picking one to watch I'd go for the Ecuador game. These are the choices you must now make

At 7:00 England are playing Wales in the buy-to-let landlord derby. Wales haven't looked good in their opening two games but it would be the most England thing ever to lose this one. Also USA are playing Iran and there's been some handbags in the press about flags or something idk I'm not watching this game

USA / Iran should be a fun game to watch. Probably going to be at least 1 red card thrown in that one.

Hoping for some sick lot-drawing action. Do they televise it? Does the captain or the manager get to draw, or is it some shadowy FIFA goon?

I mean I do kind of want Iran to beat the USA, but you know, women's rights are probably more important.

But it would be funny if the USA lost.

I'm not commenting on England/Wales, I have a bad feeling about it.

America is not morally superior to Iran even on human rights so just cheer for Iran if you want.

Human rights investigators at the human rights world cup have discovered everyone has loads of human rights, the most human rights. We love human rights don't we folks

The human rights investigation team has also been disbanded

I have been reliably informed by football knowers that England stinking the place out against the USA was actually tactically astute and it would have been naive to make an attempt to score goals and win the game. Far better to need a result against a local rival with something to prove

If England don't hammer Wales they don't deserve to qualify, Wales have been absolutely woeful. Though they might be better without Hennessey playing.

We don't even need "a result" we just need to not get thrashed by one of the most toothless looking teams in the tournament.
