    I will be even angrier at Sergio Ramos than I am now if Salah misses the World Cup.

    I really think Salah should aim to come back for the second round of fixtures. You KNOW Uruguay will play chippy and are a far superior team anyway, so he and Egypt should aim for maximum points against the rest of the group and attempt to fight out a draw without their talisman against them.

    I actually think Uruguay could make a deep run this year but I need ti sit down with the full bracket before I make my predictions.

    Take care all.

    I have honestly no idea who will win the World Cup. Can’t call it. I’ll wait to see who gets to the final and make a decision then... probably.

    US isn't in it this year so I don't get to root for my underdog country. WHO DO I EVEN ROOT FOR NOW? Maybe i'll root for my neighbor, Mexico. I don't even know

    France comfortably have the best squad so I've voted for them. Those of you who were here for the 2014 World Cup will know this is the kiss of death.

    Been reading about a lot of darkhorse love for both Belgium and Columbia but I'm not sure either of them could get past Germany in their end of the bracket.

    Just a little over 2 weeks away!

    Predictions coming after the final 23's are announced.

    Take care all.

    It's really hard to call this WC, but I have a hunch for Brazil. Can't see France going all the way. I hope Sergio Ramos suffers a broken leg and ends his career. Despise the lad.

    Considering he's 32 and has already won a load of trophies with Team Evil and Spain, not sure it would make much difference this point.

    Good to see the media getting behing England...oh no wait they're engaging in some BS about Raheem Sterling's tattoo. The Sun are total scum.

    France will be the team to beat, they're my pick of the tournament.

    Just kidding, football is coming home.

    This. I'm inclined to say Germany because when in doubt, Germany. I can see so many teams lifting it though... really intriguing to find out what happens.

    No idea who I'll be going for, if anyone. I'll just be rooting for the United players to do well rather than a team, probably.

    I fancy France. England look boringly set up to relive either 2004/2006 or 1990 with the possibility of facing Portugal or Germany in the quarters (if they even get out of the group...). A lot of rubbish teams in this tournament, which means a decent chance of a minnow going pretty far. Egypt were my dark horses to get to the semis or the final until Salah decided to fall over.

    The 'controversial Russia World Cup' stuff is probably actually going to end up being bigger news than the tournament itself. Just waiting for some idiot like Sol Campbell to warn of fans coming home in coffins.

    I'm expecting Putin to declare the return of the USSR any day now.

    Even with Salah, not sure Egypt will make it past Spain or Portugal in the last 16 if they get there. Considering how poor Groups G and H are, I wouldn't be surprised to maybe see a surprise QF team like Poland or Senegal from Group H. In fact, I can see it now, Poland beat England in the second round, Nigel Farage implodes with rage.
