Who doesn't care the most though?
Thread is absolutely buzzing considering nobody cares.
There was one who lost 10 -0 to Hungary? Can't remember who it was
Whoever it is will be absolutely furious when England are eliminated.Who doesn't care the most though?
Zaire's doomed 1974 campaign probably the worst of all time
As posted before, there's quite a tragic story behind why that free kick happenedI'll always love them because of this (still remember crying with laughter as a kid)

Still doesn't feel like a world cup has just started does it ?

You'd imagine that quite a lot if them that were there probably live in the Middle East? Also although it is a poor country there's a lot of wealth disparity and there are probably quite a lot of fairly wealthy Ecuadorians in the USA and Europe. I doubt that many travelled from Ecuador.I think it will be determined by how full/empty the stadia are. Was impressed by the number of Ecuador fans. I'm often intrigued by the number of fans who seem to travel half way around the world from some of the poorer countries. Today was a prime example.
Probably my ignorance of population migration, but some of the South American support that appears (wherever the World Cup is played) seems disproportionate to their population. For instance, wherever we play Argentina, they always seem to have more in attendance than England, yet only have 3/4 of our population.You'd imagine that quite a lot if them that were there probably live in the Middle East?

At the time that season was brought to a halt, we were well out in front and pulling away from the rest, and would have won it at a canter. Absolutely no doubt.For me it'd have the feel of our L1 winning season that got cancelled. I'd be dead pleased we won it, but it'd feel tainted.
Didn't even realise it was on the red button. I sat thought about 30 minutes of the game expecting the opening ceremony to come on afterwards only for them to go over to Qatar and say the opening ceremony had just finished.Didn't realise this, but the BBC apparently showed a women's match instead of the opening ceremony.
I was doing other things so don't care, but for those who can't find the red button (a lot if this forum is anything to judge by), than that would be a shame.
So I still have no clue if Ecuador are any good or not.
That's the thing, they were so bad it ended up a bit of a training session, and Ecuador seemed to give up second half really.They played a lot of slick first time passing. I was reasonably impressed, despite Qatar being gash.

They've bred a golden generation with players like Plata, Caicedo, Estupinan, Hincapie, Sarmiento and co. all who are very promising. In terms of actual ability right now I'd say they're pretty decent, right around Morocco's level if we're to compare them to another WC team.So I still have no clue if Ecuador are any good or not.
If there was I missed it, as it seems did most people if twitter is anything to go byDid they not even mention it?
I got confused with times, got up for the first game at 7am... Ah well. Day off today, so let's see how we go. Also playing a country with worse human rights abuses than Qatar!
Why did no one complain about the Russian WC?
Fancy thinking that politics isn’t part of sport!!We strongly believe in wearing the armband and what it stands for......
......unless it affects us directly.
Imagine if they had of worn it and players would have been sent off directly / indirectly because of it. Surely that would be a statement?

Politicians did boycott it because of the Salisbury poisonings. There was a lot of controversy over Russian activities in Donbas with politicians calling for boycotts and the tournament to be moved. Of course FIFA weren't interested ( or paid to be quiet much like now).Why did no one complain about the Russian WC?
