Russia 2018

The current England team would annihilate that team. I don't really get the relentless negativity tbh. Southgate's done a good job, stuck with his ideas and principles and has picked a good squad.

Try and do with him what Germany have done with Lowe

Theo Walcott has never played a single minute at a world cup.

your correct,,, by competative tie i meant, something other than a friendly.. he scored a hattrick in a world cup qualifying match.

It wasn't aimed at you, or anyone in fact.

Just a little surprising stat.

Crazy to think he went as a 17 year old, although didn't actually play.

Not picked for 2010 and injured for 2014.

Theo has the highest win ratio of any England player ever. It's something like 70% - and he got almost 50 caps.

Oh my god ive got World Cup fever already.

I've been watching the clips on bbc sport, they're doing a world cup countdown and showing a classic clip from past world cups everyday, some belter's in there.

I've just watched the Grosso goal in the semi for 06 and it's set me off.

Getting the all day sessions sorted with the lads now.

I lashed a tenner on Spain to win it a few weeks ago @ 8/1.

France look really strong though, so do Brazil

[SANA_DR0]

pretty sure you got England and the  USA the wrong way round bud..

What a game for atmosphere and tension.

Sensational ending too.

I did my first draft of predictions comp at work this week and came out with Germany winning, beating France in the final.

I think they've gone full circle from looking at the squad and thinking it's not all that but they're the Germans so they'll win, to having an amazing squad which you think is the best around anyway, back to them being not so strong but still the Germans.  If that makes sense.

Doing the Panini album with the boy too.  He has a weird obsession with Japan and we got another Japanese player today so he's made up with it.

[Goaljira]

You know what guys, I can't fucking wait for the World Cup now.  My faith in football has been restored.

[Silas]

It's OK that I have a panini sticker album right?

They're bringing out the champions league trophy at half time aren't they.

Nope
