I'll just watch the home nations games in the group stage and then pick it up from the knockout stages.

When the opening extravaganza is Qatar v Ecuador it isn't hard to find plenty of clinkers in the tournament to be fair.

USA vs Iran could be lively.

I used to love the World cup as a lad but now I couldn't give a fuck.

I'll probably still watch a load of games but it has been so diluted that I couldn't be arsed investing any time into it.

It's awful, isn't it? It really was a phenomenal tournament to enjoy when there wasn't wall-to-wall football on TV all the time, especially when we were kids.

Yea, it's awful now.

I think the 2002 World Cup was the last one I was in any way invested in. Even that was a bit meh in comparison to the 1986 and 1990 tournaments.

Wales have released their world cup song/video. The singer/songwriter is an ex Welsh Nationalist who's done a bit of time in Cardiff Prison for terrorism (as shown in vid). 

 

It's in Welsh so the journos at the beeb/mail/telegraph will  remain oblivious to the mandatory dig at Margaret Thatcher.

 

Its a yes from me

Here it is. It means "We are still here" in English, which we probably won't be after the first round.

I’m in Cardiff the day / night of the England game. Shame there isn’t a huge screening at the Millennium Stadium.

Thanks for posting this but, for the record, Dafydd Iwan went to jail  for protesting/ civil disobedience rather than terrorism. He might have terrorised a few road signs though.

Yes. He was looked at as a terrorist of that time. I believe he was a member of Plaid Cymru who at that time were seen as a little more controversial than today.

 

As for the song/video I like it. It's definitely got a bit socialist/nationalist feel and although I'm not a Welsh Nationalist myself I like they've been brave enough to go a bit leftfeild with the song content and that they've also chosen to pick a song sung in Welsh.

30/40 years ago, Welsh rugby was seen as the “home” of Welsh language culture in sport and the football side was a bit looked down upon as it was very English orientated. It’s amazing how this has now flipped around - football taking the lead on protecting and promoting Welsh while rugby slowly but steadily converts itself from a Welsh working class sport to some weird middle class hybrid.

What are the kick off times gonna be?

98 for me. 14 years old, I probably knew every single player in the tournament from non-stop reading the pre tournament brochures etc and the sticker album. I was obsessed with that tournament.

Yes I agree. Fair play to the Welsh football fans, they've definitely got a scene going on.

 

It's just a shame for them this world cup is where it is imo.

Someone told me 10am, 1pm, 4pm and 7pm.

 

I'll be all over those 10am and 1pm games, don't give a shit who's playing.
