This is terrible.

However I sat through a MLS 4-4 thriller last night, so anything is dull after that.

Worryingly, Connor Mcleod or whoever it is and his co summariser on 5Live, have gone straight to orgasm with their gush and squealing commentary already. lord knows what we will get with Spain v Portugal.

Rubbish, shear rubbish.
League one quality, crap commentator plus Glenn Hoddle.
Good start.
On the plus side nobody has been poisoned, yet.

Just dumped the 5Live commentary, I thought Rivelleno had scored by the sound of it.

Jesus. The quality of that Saudi team is League 1 or worse from that display.

What kind of IDIOT would put a free bet on this game being a draw under 2.5 goals.

I'd like to meet him.

If this is the standard, they might as well give us the trophy now!

Trouble is, that as soon as you turn it off, something brilliant will happen. And you miss it.

This is the first time I've watched the opening game of the World Cup and thought 'Brighton would be comfortably beating both of these teams.'

So.

Russia spans 2 continents and 11 time zones.

They can't put out a side that would trouble the Albion.

What Gives?

So a poor game of football is enjoyable just because its the World Cup?
The World Cup is supposed to be the best teams in the world playing a high level of football, maybe not alwaays exciting and fast but surely the quality is supposed to be better than this.
Bound to improve though, looking forward to Portugal v Spain.
