Hearing bad things from Paul Strank Roofing in terms of their ongoing sponsorship.

No more Paul strank sponsored stand on X

A few demos going on around the country later tonight just watch yourselves if your out after 7

Trigger: I think each of the three host nations have their own opening ceremonies. So that's 3 times the fun!

I expect Curacao to be better than most people might expect given their Dutch background

Pete - nice picture of Mann Egerton in Morden

Fans of most of the African/Asian countries have been refused visas even though they have tickets, plus an official from Somalia or Somaliland

From what I've seen of people generally asking US citizens about the World Cup I don't think anyone there would notice.

Hash - imagine if America don’t make it to the next round, I wonder if the rest of the tournament would get cancelled…?

There is a chance of USA v Iran in the 2nd round in Dallas which would be quite funny

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.
