Meenzer 14040 Posted March 28, 2018 Author Share Posted March 28, 2018 Saudi Arabia-Egypt has to be the least inspiring group fixture since... ...well, probably Bosnia-Iran in 2014 actually. Not especially planning to take the afternoon off work for that one anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McFaul 35 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 (edited) To be fair, Argentina v Iceland 4pm on the first Saturday could truly get the juices flowing. Iceland are no mugs these days, but even a draw would cause heavy embarrassment for the Malvinas lusting fools. What a start that would be to the World Cup, actually bigger than Cameroon beating the then world champions opening game, when I was a bairn.

Meenzer 14040 Posted March 28, 2018 Author Share Posted March 28, 2018 Cameroon were a complete surprise package though, Iceland are well-known for their good form against Malvinas lusting cunts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 12767 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Peru is my choice for surprise package. Not just because Nobby is a coach for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 12767 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Mentioned it before but Des Lynam's commentary after they went up the other end and scored was "Would you believe it?

Alex 30393 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 I thought that book which compiled all the Panini sticker albums from past World Cups (which I bought ) was fucking expensive but it's a steal compared to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
