The best ever no but I don't think that so many of the favoured to win teams have ever been dumped out of the Competition quite so early on. One shock result after another.
Last of Messi and Renaldo;_ probably as far as 2022 is concerned especially considering the Venue and the likely temperatures.
Will England win. No not this time; it's a young and rather inexperienced squad that can only get better in time.
After all there was absolutely no expectation of success before the competition started. All that most of us hoped was that they might get out of the group stage. Now suddenly some people and newspapers are talking them up as possible champions. Ridiculous!!
The refs have been very average IMO especially the idiot in charge of our match against the Columbian All Star wrestling team.
VAR -- Not in it's present format. Why can't the VAR official bring fouls etc to the attention of the referee.
Why can't they introduce a system as in tennis whereby each team is allowed three opportunities in each game to oblige the referee to review an incident.
But at the end of the day, you have to rely on the honesty and integrity of the officials and hope that they don't have a hidden agenda.
If Russia mysteriously manage to hammer Uruguay and some of the south americans are sent off then I will begin to suspect that jiggery pokery really is at work.
End of sermon.
