^All this said, Ronaldo is more than likely going to bring Portugal down in Qatar and the manager doesn't have the nuts to bench him, especially with this shit storm going on.

My guy in Singapore told me to wager on Denmark as much as I could. So I’m betting the sod farm on England with a little on the side for Denmark.

/also wagering on every game as well. And maybe some Messi and Ronaldo props too. And probably a group winner parlay. And a total red card haul for the group stages. But that’s it.

Nothing on the relegation battle?

Nope. I hope this tournament goes off the rails tbh. Maybe a chlamydia outbreak. A high profile player disappearance. An international incident where a nations delegation gets sent packing for unsavory behavio(u)r. Replay official bribery. It’s all there for the taking. I hope FIFA gets exactly what they deserve.

This is the way.

/Any comment on that rumour out there that Qatar tried bribing the entire Ecuador team to throw the first game?

Yeah, they are new at this. You only need to pay off Ecuadors goalie.

England fans seem more pessimistic about their chances than normal. One the one hand our form has been terrible and Southgate's negativity seems to hold us back. On the other hand, we do have very good players and a kind draw. Could be anything from crashing out at the group stage to making the final.

Egypt just beat Belgium 2-1 and from the sounds of it Belgium didn't exactly look great despite KdB, Michy, Tielemans and Hazard all taking part.

I’m not sure if it would work out but my final is Denmark versus Brazil

wondering how Budweiser is going to react after paying a reported $75 million for the exclusive right to sell beer at the tournament.

Guessing Qatar will just reach in their pant pocket and pull out some loose change.

They've already spent $200 billion on this shit show. Another $75 mil is a Hyundai Elantra at this point.

Spain down their starting LB.

This explains a lot lol

I want to bet England at +800 but I’m not sure if it’s a good bet. Thoughts/advice?

I think England will make a deep run, but they usually find a way to mess it up (penalty kicks being the main culprit).

Sounds good to me, I’ll throw some cash at them.
