Yeah fair point RK I shouldn’t discount Morocco too easily

Brazil vs Morocco jumps out at you in the first batch. Scotland's group too

I'm sure Curacao and others will adopt the Andorran 8-2-0 formation to deny Germany any space

When I look through the early fixtures of the World Cup there really isn’t much interest there at all. Hopefully the second round of group stage games will be a little more exciting. Netherlands v Japan probably the first game with any real footballing credibility and that’s not til Sunday evening UK time.

I've put a bet on the 12 teams to finish bottom of their groups, with Curaçao being one of those. Should give me some interest in the games for the first couple of weeks (or less if any of them wins a game).

Kite - yes [Link]

Maybe we could move to Stamford Bridge when Chelsea move to Earl's Court?

Would be hilarious if Curaçao win

I'm intrigued by the Germany v Curacao WC group game on Sunday. Are Curacao the smallest ever nation (pop 158,000) to compete in the WC?

In other news, driverless taxis (Ubers) hitting London roads this summer

or get them to build a new South Stand and give them a 10-25year tenancy rent-free ...

Blue is the colour, etc…. At least we won’t have to change all the seats…

So will there be Chelsea related interest in buying a share of our club now that they have a foot in the door?

Maybe Chelsea Women can purchase Plough Lane and we could use the money to move somewhere bigger.

They did, on Discord.

Surely the fans should have a vote on the Chelsea deal

Does that mean we have to hope Chelsea win matches?

Hopefully the Chelsea deal will be good for us financially

How was France’s first goal not disallowed. French player offside standing right in the way of the keeper obstructing them. That’s really poor from the officials.

I found this on Facebook via Google [Link] I don't use Facebook myself but you can still view the posts, including one from somebody that posts on here as part of the collective dynasty that between them have not missed a first team game since Jesus was a boy.

I think he spent the rest of his career in non league after he left us.

We got Richard Teale from QPR where he was understudy to Phil Parkes.

I googled Richard Teale and it led me to a tweet from Slough Town about 10 hours ago. Way before my time as a Wimbledon supporter.

That's sad news about Richard Teale. Where was this announced? He's one of the first goalkeepers I remember playing for WFC in 1977 after Dickie Guy was dropped shortly into the 1977-78 season. I think his front teeth were missing, but this might be a then 8 year old misremembering almost 49 years later. He seemed to then fall out of favour too, before both were replaced by the late Ray Goddard (the keeper with a terribly weak goal kick, who always wore tracksuit bottoms).
