  1. I wonder if these group defeats will help Spain and Brazil.

    Brazil seem to think it is destined to be their year. They haven't really been tested, but a loss to Cameroon suggests the depth isn't there. It'll be interesting to see how they fare if they go a goal down in the knockout rounds. I have a sense they will be rather shell-shocked. 

    Spain, similar. Found nothing when they really needed it in adversity against Japan. Perhaps a case of believing their own hype after the 7-0.

    If we’re going to win it, we might as well right all the historical wrongs along the way.

    Holland in the R16. Trippier goes the full Koeman ‘93, hauling someone to the floor when they are clean through. Then he dinks in a FK after he should have been sent off.

    Then it’s Argentina in the quarters. Foden goes on a mazy run through their entire team, then punches in a second goal with his fist to make sure.

    Portugal in the semis. Pickford takes off his gloves and smashes home the winning penalty after Ronaldo has been sent off for stamping on Jude Bellingham’s testicles.

    And finally Brazil. They think they’ve won it after Maguire dithers on the ball and presents them with a first half lead. But then we carve them open just before the break, and second half Mason Mount accidentally floats in a free kick from 50 yards out.

    Job done.

    Then we leave FIFA.
