No twisting going on here :)  Just find it a bit funny, really.

I asked for Germany, Brazil and Argentina as an outside bet - I haven't heard back from the organiser yet.

I heard back - I got Switzerland and Australia.  Oh, well, there's always the next Euros

Saudi Arabia will beheading home soon.

Throw a bone in his kennel.

Ahhh the collective wisdom of Jenas, Neville and Thingy...you Brits must be so proud 

I got Peru :(

The BBC have been continuing their hailing Salah as the second coming but, obviously the Russian public don't share the BBC's adoration as hardly anyone has bought a ticket to see him play (I know he's actually on the bench right now).

And Martin Keown in the commentary (always sounds like he has a cold during commentary)

The BBC aren't even trying anymore.

Uruguay have been pretty lackluster so far.

Both commentators are droning on nasally. I've switched to Dutch tv, that manages to make it sound like an exciting match.

I give you my guide to who to support in any game in the World Cup (stolen from my Facebook post during the 2016 Euros, hence the reference to Eudur):

Scoring system for "who should I support in this match?"
a) Did they sing their anthem better than the opposition? +2 pts
b) Is their anthem better than the opposition's? +2 pts
c) Deduct 1 point for each sh*t haircut or 3 for a particularly awful one
d) Ditto tattoos
e)Is Ronaldo in the team? -50 points
f) Any Chelsea players? Add 2 pts each
g) Any ex-Chelsea player who you still like? Add a point
h) But if it's Eidur Gudjohnsen, add 10 points
i) Ditto Juan Mata
j) -5 points for each example of over-acting.
k) Is it Russia? - 50 points

 

Feel free to add your own items of personal importance.

Add 10 for the better shirt.

This game is mind numbing. 

Only the second game of the World Cup and the stadium is only half full.

No pretty fans to distract you either. All fat, ugly geezers.

The eye candy factor is negative, I agree.

The pitch looks nice and green, though.

Oh look, a goal after Urugay have been diving left, right and centre to get a free kick.

Uruguay deserve the goal. Even though they have been sh*t they have created 4/5 good chances. 

What's Suarez doing?

Bloody hell, Boussoufa is still playing. I remember him being in our youth team in Championship Manager 03/04

He just lunged into the Egyptian players crotch like his penis was a portal to Narnia.

 

Iran-Morocco is devoid of quality as well.
