It's partly that Exeter matches will be my priority over the next 7 weeks, and in the end most World Cups the World Cup is my footballing priority.
Yet if it wasn't in such a scummy place with scummy politics of getting us there, which to be honest has been proven to be dishonest. I mean what other organisation goes, oh yeah the entire selection of this place was corrupt, but hey obviously we're still going there, I might be more enthused.
Blood on hands literally too, it's just an entire shitshow of yuck, but I'll watch it when on, which probably makes me complicit or summat.

Think I've heard or read that the Peruvian keeper was Argentinan by birth too.
Bobby Moore being arrested on some trumped up jewellery theft charge just before Mexico 1970 probably worthy of consideration too.

Pele was literally kicked out of the 1966 World Cup. Not just strong tackling, he was practically assaulted.

The BBC have now done the top 10 teams not to win the tournament. Whilst Brazil in 82 are held in high regard around the world, I don't think England in 2002 have quite the same global kudos.

Hungary 1954 team was ok but they didn't have Darius Vassell so quite right they didn't make the list.

Yeah, but the same side roughly was Euro Champs in 84, semi-finalists in 86.
They were beautiful to watch, and very French. Larios wasn't picked because he was shagging Platini's missus.
Platini, Giresse, Genghini, Tigana silky footballers all, didn't have a striker or much of a defence, though.
Edit, looking again it's a bit silly, that Germany side practically won it next time, same as Brazil 2002.

The BBC have now moved on to shock results. Some of it a little embarrassing. Scotland 3 Netherlands 2 in 1978 for instance. "game deadlocked at 2-2 with 20 minutes left". Put some effort in at least.
