Now your talking. Getting quite excited about this and don't really know why.
Every World Cup I suddenly have an interest in games like Cameroon v Paraguay - I suppose that's one of the lures.
England won't win and are unlikely to make semis but I hope they play ok. Tough group. Can they keep the ball. Interesting that in the warm ups they have most positionin all of them. I guess this is being worked on.
Brazil have to be favourites, Argentina look sound.
I was wondering whether in the heat an African or Asian country may progress but so far can't come up with a name.
I will make one bet. Russia wil kick off with some good long range goals. Seems to be a memory for a few world cups.

I'm also excited by the World Cup, though I'm not remotely excited by Englands chances, nor have I been since the WC in 2002 or the Euros in 2004.
In fairness I would be more excited for us if Roy Hodgson had the stones to play Ross Barkley, but I can't see that happening. I mean, why would he play the young players who play without fear when he can stick with the same old experienced players who have let us down time and time again??? As the SAS motto goes, 'He Who Dares, Wins'.
I can't see England getting out of their group, so if we make it to the first round I will be both pleased and pleasantly surprised.
As for who I think will win, I'd say the favourites are Brazil, though they will be under massive pressure to perform in their own country. Argentina are a good shout, they do have Messi after all. And we can't right off Spain, apart from the fact a European team has never won it outside of Europe.
Possible dark horses would include Chile, but I'm only saying that cos I read a thing from the BBC pundits and quite a few of them chose Chile as their dark horse. Belgium have a lot of talented young players, but whether they come together as one on the big stage remains to be seen. And I wouldn't right off Portugal for one reason and one reason only, and I'm sure we all know what that reason is. Cristiano Ronaldo.
Whatever happens I have no doubt we will see some fantastic games, not to mention magical goals that will stay in the memory for as long as we live.
Group C Ivory Coast Colombia (But then again, Ivory Coast have always been super mediocre... so wouldn't be surprised to see Japan go through instead of them).
I don't normally bother with football these days, but then, even when I went to the games I wasn't there for the game, I was there for the crime. When several hundred hooligans descend on a small town the shutters go down... sometimes they're not fast enough. Like piranha, the hooligans strip the shops bare.

That'd be an interesting premise for a script. I might just take that one and run with it.
Title: Obstruction.
Log line: A family of four resort to extreme measures to protect their home when a horde of crazed soccer hooligans descend upon their town.
Birmingham City, Zulus. I still know quite a few of them. Don't get me wrong though, I wasn't there for the violence either. Those were just the guys I grew up with. I didn't mind earning a few pennies, but I didn't like seeing people getting their heads kicked in.

Been done to death though mate, might be a novelty in another country, but we've started spoofing the hooligan films now. I suppose there is always room for something original, aside from that though, unless you're going to make it yourself, it might be a tough sell.
It was a part of our culture. The main lads always wore the best clothes, women, drugs... very attractive lifestyle for a young lad growing up without two pennies to rub together.
Things have come back a bit too... as there was a lull during the mid to late 90's due to MDMA. The youths are at it these days, because the MDMA is shit, untrustworthy. They're all on plant fertiliser. What happened to good old fashioned coke?
Anyway, the top man from the zulus will be in All About Janet, playing one of the doormen, and anything else he wants to play, lol. He goes by the name, One-Eyed Baz. Quite a character.
England would be and should be everyone's choice, considering we invented the bloody game in the first place, but alas we're terrible and everyone's last choice, hell, Honduras have more chance than we do, lol.
I'm going with Belgium or Colombia. Dark horses, sure, but great young teams.
Looking forward to getting up at 2 am twice to watch two of our games. Our first game is 8 an Saturday morning. Right when my son plays Aussie rules lol.
I always hope England do well at every tournament. After they go out, I just enjoy the games.
Hopefully the final won't be the bore fest like 4 years ago

This is a Roy Hodgson team. I know him well from Liverpool. And look, this guy is good at turning decent into desolate. He says he's attacking - he's going all out defense. He only plays one way. Stop the opposition. If he attacks Italy... I will be amazed. He's gonna sit back and prey for a draw. To be honest, with our team, might not be a bad idea.
