I know Monkey doesn't like the beautiful game because of all the gay juice in his veins (and because he was bullied by the bigger boys) but the greatest festival of sport is around the corner so we need a thread. Kicks off in June. This is your thread for discussing all its epicness. Favourites: Germany 5/1 Brazil 11/2 France 11/2 Argentina 8/1 Spain 8/1 Belgium 12/1 England 20/1 Previous Winners
1930 - Uruguay 1934 - Italy 1938 - Italy 1950 - Uruguay 1954 - Germany 1958 - Brazil 1962 - Brazil 1966 - England 1970 - Brazil 1974 - Germany 1978 - Argentina 1982 - Italy 1986 - Argentina 1990 - Germany 1994 - Brazil 1998 - France 2002 - Brazil 2006 - Italy 2010 - Spain 2014 - Germany 2018 - |

I like the World Cup, I think it's a great event.
I'm not into league football, that's just a load of peasants running around spitting, but the World Cup has a nationalistic warfare about t which I really like.
Kill Johnny Foreigner, etc.
Anyway, Russia, with the Novichok, 3/1.

Got a feeling Messi might finally do it for Argentina.

12/1 for Belgium seems a decent punt. Probably the best squad in the competition if the key players stay fit and cannot see England coming first in that group. No one else has struck me as particularly impressive over the past few years and many squads seem to be in flux with some too old "stars" and some under developed potential.

It's a sporting event where the world takes part. You know, like the world series. |

It's a sporting event where the world takes part. You know, like the world series. I actually went to a World Cup game 1994 Chicago, Germany vs Bolivia - Germans won 1-0. 20,000 German tourists lustily belting out Das Deutschlandlied gave me a real sense of a Nuremberg rally & a shitload of 4 ft tall Mexicans/Bolivians/etc. painted green. I got a really bad sunburn. |

This is the only time I have ever been truly shocked during the World Cup, was watching in a pub and the whole place was stunned. Horrific and utter cynical attack by the German keeper. Could have killed him.
