Don't think so - think Deschamps has half hinted at the possibility of not starting him, just to scare him into getting more serious about defending.

That haircut is doing him all the favors in the world, trust me. Now actually adorable.

Brazil 1-0. Opening games are always slow.

mostly, not always. not sure that Brazil will be able to exert caution and not sure they're gonna be a sit-and-hold-a-lead team

ilxor proxy ms Mac, Luka's other fan, does not agree with you l, so by default he's now yours. gratis.

Lol that mcdonalds ff thing is encouraging the worst 10-year-old-fm-player indulgence, I just picked a squad including messi, Ronaldo, neymar and iniesta.

Spose the fun thing about these tournaments is that the biggest players won't necessarily be the biggest points earners, but all the same

i changed my mind, I dunno that I have the time or inclination to do a fantasy pick

but you guys it's only 3 HOURS TILL KICKOFF WEEEEEEEEEE

I already have the app on my phone ready to go
(and two more apps as backup incase I decide the one I picked sucks)

is there ilxor fantasy league ?

yes. here: http://en.mcdonalds.fantasy.fifa.com/leagues/105415

aw are we not allowed to look at each other's teams?

Just wanna say, fantasy football is despicable nonsense trash

And please don't ruin this thread with it. Start a new one

Lol Lj you old curmudgeon, how can something as innocuous as fantasy football get you so riled up?

It's the first day of the World Cup, peace on earth, good will to all football fans etc

Ba, Ibrahumbug (£3.3m, CM)

Fantasy football determines one's football discourse a priori, and that's patently dangerous IMO

m8 we've got plenty to talk about, there are many possible prisms to view the WC through

shall we do best mascot now, or later

In for the Fantasy Football. No liking the wee union jack beside my name though :-(

tried to log in with Facebook then realised there was another layer of shite after that so nein danke

what about best name? feel like we've been spoilt this time. yeltsin tejeda, granit xhaka, mix diskerud, tommy oar, patrick pemberton, ciro immobile

Leaving work at 3pm to watch this. Thank you S. American timezone.

really wanna go watch this in the pub but i have to be in work early to tell somebody off :/

Kind of want to participate in this fantasy league but too lazy, because I've never done it

Ian Wright is coked up to his fucking eyeballs

*cough* possibly

Ian Wright is a fud. Is he going to be doing this shit all tournament? Might need to find streams for things not on the BBC (though I expect they'll be doing a fuckload of Alan-Shearer-visits-the-favelas-and-patronises-the-locals guff an' all)

is that really Pixar who made that shitty Nike ad?

This giant LED ball makes the stadium look like the intro to a Nintendo 64 game.

yeah pixar :(

oh crap. Why do we have to have opening ceremonies?

because listening to sports commentators trying to describe them is pretty funny

I'm going to the rehearsals of the Commonwealth Games one in a couple of weeks. Am using this as practice at hating it.

stream pls?

anyone?

grazie

paid for a UK VPN for this month, i mean i know itv is bad but fuck if i'm watching ESPN

getting concerned that nobody on TV seems to realise that Barry Manilow's "Copa Cabana" is not set in Rio

it is quite geographically specific about that too

i know right?

Ian Wright actually SAID it was the hottest place north of Havana. FFS, really?
