    We always get the 'group of death' lately,so it wouldn't surprise me.

    When's that on?

    All I can see in the Radio Times is '15:00 - Gary Lineker Loses All Credibility As The Voice Of Morality On Twitter By Shamelessly Whoring Himself Out For Wads Of Dodgy Russian/FIFA Cash'

    Is that the same thing?

    Is there really no one in Russia who can simultaneously speak English, read an autocue and get housewives frothing at the knickers?

    England have still not won me over after recent debacles, though it should be a good World Cup in Russia.

    I'll be watching too. Hopefully a challenging group for Belgium. I'd rather have an exciting adversary than some boring ultra-defensive team.

    Given every group is a group of death we might as well get the worst draw possible so we get a chance to play against some good teams.

    I'm sick to death of playing uninspiring dross like Slovakia and Switzerland. Roll on the Hun or Brazil as we'll never go far enough to play them in the knockout stages.

    Belgium are my dark horse for the tournament, if they click I think they can win it.

    They've just shown highlights of our last two abject exits yet for some reason I'm excited.

    You can shove your premier league and champions league up your arse.

    This is what it's all about.

    The World Cup is something else despite a very frustrating tournament in Brazil last time round for England the buzz of the World Cup is unbeatable.

    Looking forward to a major football tournament in a country with eleven time zones. The sort of set up that would've made Roy Keane stomp home in a hissy fit, back in the day.

    I'm hopeful this could be car crash telly on a par with Mick Fleetwood and Sam Fox.

    I'll be disappointed if Gary doesn't deliver a 'Not the first time you've had England's fate in your hands' quip when Diego pulls out our ball.

    De Bruyne will slaughter us. Just have to bank on Martinez's Klopp-esque defensive cluelessness.

    That Lineker joke dropped like a lead balloon :))

    Tunisia first game if England don't get three point from that they should go home.

    Iceland in group with Argentina, Sweden in group with Germany, and Denmark in group with France. Brutal!
