WeAreTheRomans posted:That's what they did in 1994 anyway That featured some brutal heat in Southern U.S. cities and slow rear end games because players didn't want to die of heat prostration. Then you'd have the odd rainy & cool venue in Chicago with Bulgaria and Stoichkov eliminating Germany in a great match.

Scotland weren't in it. Saudis had a guy who went on like an 80 yd scoring run that was the goal of the tournament. There was one group with Mexico, Ireland, Norway maybe and Italy and they all went 1-1-1 and I think 3 of them had red, green, white kits lol.

i just want to see more side-by-side toilets like in Sochi also, something interesting I read: how each of the seven teams with large numbers of Muslim players are dealing with the run-up to the WC also being right at the end of Ramadan

1. I'm surprised this isn't getting nearly as much coverage as Brazil 2014 did leading up to the event itself. 2. Why haven't I been hearing (from regular news) any boycotting of the games because Russia? 3. Has there been any controversy leading up to the games revolving around the games?

I know with uncharacteristic certainty that Russia will find a way to not lose this game. Expect the softest penalty in world cup history some time around the 83rd minute to make it either 1-1 or 1-0.

I forgot about VAR. What percentage of refs at the tournament have ever officiated games with it before? I can't believe they're just chucking it in at the World Cup, surely it's going to be a fiasco.

Any video that features the Roger Miller wiggle is ok with me, but that whole thing was great. Kind of excited to watch my first World Cup coverage on Fox where they won’t find an excuse to shoehorn in talk about England at every goddamn opportunity, even long after they’ve been knocked out.

I wouldn't worry about VAR. FIFA did call up a number of VAR-experienced refs to act as assistant referees.

This is the bit I'm particularly excited about : https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/may/30/world-cup-var-red-cards-retrospective-russiaquote:Ifab’s technical director, David Elleray, told the Times: “If there is something away from the action that has been missed and it later comes to the attention of the VAR or the assistant VAR, then they can inform the referee and he can send the player off, even if it is later in the match. All while having no way of communicating anything to the broadcasters or the fans in the stadium. Also, the VARs are confirmed full kit wankers: https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/var-officials-wear-full-kit-12696712
