That's all well and good. But you know the best game is going to a 4-3 thriller between Panama and Tunisia or something like that!

The standby list is ridiculous. Just look at the clubs in their squad, let alone the ones that didn't make it. Puts our task into perspective.

no room for Pizarro to make the call up despite Guerrero not making the squad for having a simple tea with a few coca leaves

[Davo]

The captains of Australia, Denmark and France have written a letter to FIFA asking for Guerrero to be allowed to play at the Wold Cup.

Can anyone imagine this happening in return? Hahaha

That’s our best chance of points! I swear the FFA will be happy for us to **** up so Arnie can swing in as the hero. Blame Ange for the World Cup and let Arnie save us.

[luisenrique]

We all know how this is going to end, Guerrero scoring a last minute winner to knock us out.

I wish Optus would open up their subscription already. There's a feature on David Squires on their app that I want to watch.

Of course they do

Russia: “Yeah our athletes were leasing their blood and then we threw it out, so it’s not available for testing.”

Won't make a difference as Salah will tear their defense into mince meat, unless one of the Russians takes him out in a horrible tackle ultra-style.

Luis Suarez will do the same

So Russia shouldn't get out of the group stage anyway.

Does "insufficient evidence" mean there is some evidence?

So the Peruvian fella is banned for drinking some herbal tea, but there was no doping in the team whose federation is headed by the guy who was in charge of the systemic doping in the winter olympics! Ok!

Yeah amico just be careful in Russia dodgy country plus I'm going with my Brazilian mates so there might be English language issues so if I run into you you will see why they call me the war machine ( that's my nickname from my Aussie mates who I play football with) the reason why they call,me that is because I'm one big mother****er

Amazing. We are following Serbia, so could be a chance for a Moscow catchup ? (Serbia Vs Brasil)

Still deciding on trying to get a ticket for Aus. vs. France. Will be in Samara for Serbias first game on the 17th, but Kazan is only 3hrs by car... Sussing out if its feasible to get to and from .

D

So who'll be in Russia and keen for a beer or three?

I'll be following the Aussies in the first round, at Kazan/Samara/Sochi, if you guys fancy a WSW catchup there or elsewhere let me know.

[Paul01]

How much did Putun pay Ramos? Without Salah, Egypt are f****d.

Uruguay and Russia to go through now in Group A.
