      Happy World Cup day everybody!
      Have finally got excited about this one,
      using a combination of panini stickers
      and getting the family matching Scotland tops (the red away strip is a beaut).
      I feel us getting past the first round this time. But my money is on Portugal for the whole thing. Enjoy! Xd

      Excited for this one. Not excited about having to stay up all night, but you have to do what you have to do for the love of sports.

      Incredibly, I’m a Brazilian who doesn’t like or follow football (except when I’m playing video games), but in the good old days as a child I always cheered for Scotland, remembering you all, and I saw that own goal scored with the shoulder.
      Here it’s still in its early stages, but I’ve already seen flags on houses, painted streets, and shops trying to sell World Cup-related items.
      Overall, it’s a good opportunity to go out and join strangers and acquaintances, because here we like to celebrate just like you do. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️🇧🇷 🥳🎉🎉🎉🎉

      Happy World Cup Day!

      Well, neither of my two teams Venezuela (La Vinotinto) and Chile (La Roja) didn’t make to this World Cup.. But still excited to watch the upcoming matchs!!

      At least Danny Ocean, the guy of the song “Me Rehuso” who’s from my homeland, is performing at today’s World Cup Opening Ceremony!

      I’m excited about football. Not so excited about what some people in power have done to my country, my city (Mexico City) and the people living in it. Sorry, I just had to take it out of my chest 🫢.

      On another note, my heart goes to Scotland. And I support every Latin American team. I don’t have very high hopes for Mexico, honestly.

      I love football! I’m a huge Boca Juniors fan. However, I’m not as excited for this World Cup as I’ve been for the others, tbh. I’m from Argentina and things are very bad in our country, and our players (though excellent players as they are) have not really been up to many people’s expectations as role models… We sadly and greatly miss our Diego Maradona.

      Anyhow, all that said, I’m in a couple of football pools with different groups of friends, and the prize in one of them is 1 kg of gelato, so I’m eager to win! My bet is on Spain this time around. 😉

      Dougie, not only are we getting through the group. We’re putting England out. You heard it here first.

      I opted to work all 3 matches so Scottish people get a chance to watch it. Don’t think I’ve watched a World Cup since 2014 so doubt I’ll watch this one either.

      Good luck Scotland!

      Go Norway! We haven’t qualified in 26 years and this is enormous for us.

      Come on Scotland

      My dad passed a month ago and I have his Scotland top – it’s an xxl and massive on me but I don’t care it was his and for him I hope we do well ❤️

      Hi Dougie, hi everyone! I hope Scotland does well, I’ll try to watch their matches. They say Portugal will win this World Cup…who knows?
      I’m going to support Scotland, of course. Argentina is the reigning champion, with an excellent tournament in 2022, so I think we won’t win this time and I’m not looking forward to it much.

      Well, today played Mexico and won first time ever in an inaugural match… Honestly I didn’t feel the happiness about the World cup in Mexico City until today.

      BTW, do you know there’s a chance to get a match in the next round Mexico Vs Scotland???

      Meanwhile go Mexico and go Scotland!

      Currently watching the last minutes of Brazil-Morocco at 1am, yawning nonstop, and wondering how I’ll stay awake for the Scotland game. I’m English but I’d like Scotland to do well or at least not to come home too soon, in the words of that other fine Scots combo Del Amitri.

      At least you guys can enjoy your national team, I can’t, since my team, Catalonia, is “kidnapped” by another and forbidden to do so, and we do have the best world player as well as a great deal of very good players that could easily give us the world cup this year

        Haiti played gallantly. They had good momentum but just couldn’t convert.

      Nice work lads. First one in the bag. Brazil looked pretty naff against Morocco so no worries for that one.

        Brazil was playing like they wanted to leave.🤣🤣 It’s a good thing I saw them win during their golden era (1994, 1998, 2002) and not suffer this global embarrassment. After Germany’s 7–1 victory and the year 2014, things changed around here

        Hahaha…love watching Brazil 🇧🇷 always entertaining, 7 to 1 gosh was quite a score, think I watched that one with my Dad, he followed the games during the period football wasn’t yet popular, was a very different time, players still had to go out to work he said. Well his all time favourite players was Eusébio and Pelé 🙂.

      I was in Glasgow in 2007 for a signing off the “boy with no name” in HMV Dougie said he loved my t-shirt.

      Just wanted to know if you ever picked on up.

      I use to watches matches with my dad but since he passed away it hasn’t been easy. It’s not the same . I did finally watch the last bit of Mexico vrs the R O K . I was utterly a semi neutral but excited for Mexico’s standings in the end ….. I’m still hoping for Korea to remain in it

    • #2363

      Yes! 🙌🏼 Really would like to see my dear background of Portugal 🇵🇹 get through, even if it’s our next door neighbours Spain. Was at work last night and so far we’ve been able to sneak a peak of the games when we can, unfortunately just couldn’t catch the one with USA and Australia as the ward was just so busy 😝. Only found out the score by the morning ☹️. Part of the fun of FIFA, is the fact anything can happen in the games! Lol, gotta love it! ⚽️
