Now corrected.

Also I note it's about a week later start for a world cup, tournament starts on 14 June and concludes on 15 July

Going to really hack off those that don't like sport at the end of June with BBC also showing Wimbledon :lol:

1. Tunisia, to be played in Volgograd on Monday 18 June 2018
2. Panama, to be played in Novograd on Sunday 24 June 2018
3. Belgium, to be played in Kaliningrad on Thursday 28 June 2018

England are going to be based in St Petersburg I believe.


Nearly 1000 miles between SP and Volgograd, but the others are about 500 miles away. Don't think that will be a problem given the time between matches.

Either Spain or Portugal in the 1st KO game if we get through I believe.

Think England need to try and plan their results to avoid Germany in the QFs.

Best way would obviously be to fail to qualify from the group.

Group G is tied with Group H due to the scheduling so will be one of:

Poland
Senegal
Colombia
Japan

If, and a big if, England got through that they would most likely face a QF against either Brazil or Germany (assuming they win their groups).

NOT THIS KES PERSON!
i'm realistic, not negative. when it comes to the major tournaments
we just don't have the mentality to win it.

Can’t wait for this to start now, children crying, last minute drama and fans going bonkers when they grab a consolation goal to make it 9-1. Going to be glorious.

Can breathe a small sign of relief. Spurs confirm Kane will return to training 'in April'.

Heard some are calling for Russia to have the finals taken away from them after all the shenanigans with did they/didn't they, spies and diplomats

All cobblers of course as even if it happened I doubt any country could organise such and event in about 3 months.

double d Is it time for predictions yet? 100 days to go until our 1st game


At least one England player will fail a random drug test - all the more shocking when Russian testers reveal that not only was Harry Kane taking drugs, he was shamelessly doing it while pregnant too.

About 100 England fans arrested after tricking Russian policeman into go into a bar they are in, and repeatedly headbutting their truncheons.
