Once you complete your bracket, then you have to create your profile, then you can create your league and invite friends.

Let's not forget to discuss the great food…
what makes that a "Greek salad"
the fact that the food vendor bends you over and goes in dry when it's time to pay for it.

Reports coming across the wire that Qatar bribed Ecuadorean players to take the L in the first match.

Mane's ruled out of the WC and will require surgery.

While certainly possible, the Daily Mail is a bad version of The Onion that won't admit it

There was some hope that he'd be able to play and was even named to their roster last week. The initial reports of him being ruled out were never confirmed by any of the teams involved or Sadio's people.

Ahh ok thanks. I guess that makes sense.

I guess I'm just super confused by all the dummies on Twitter replying to the goal tweet as if this is brand new info.

And only Ream and Johnson were alive when they filmed the 1990 team.

I'm running a World Cup pool for anybody interested. Ran it in 2018 and it was a lot of fun. Here is a link to join for anybody interested.

https://www.runyourpool.com/p/j/267bac679e3d40498ff836b54cdca50d


$50 to join?
Sorry for just seeing this. Yes, $50 per entry. Pot approaching a grand. Nothing massive but fun nonetheless. Feel free to join and share with others.

I labeled it Russian Collusion 2018 last time around and got last as I usually do in all the March Madness and golf pools I run.

Just finished the FIFA Netflix special last night. What a wild sob Sepp Blatter is.

Has anyone found like bracket that you can do online like NCAAs?

I want to do one with my team at work and haven't found anything.

Kinda like the fifa one but you can select who is in the pool and scoring.
I'm not sure if I have what you are looking for but with mine it turns into a March Madness like bracket after group play is done.

Qatar is altering the deal. Pray they don't alter it further for folks planning on buying a beer that's not Bud Zero in the stadiums.

Pretty sure they did.

They're only selling Bud Zero in stadiums.

But they planned this all along when it was too late for people to change their plans.

This list gives us the hope that subsequently gets crushed.

They literally put the crest on the Arizona football uniform. So crazy.

Apparently in the fan zones where it's sold it's like $90 a beer.

Interesting the 94 US jerseys, while iconic, are generally only loved ironically, but that works for Nike from a memorable design standpoint.

Denmark's shirts are intentionally some of the most muted at this year's World Cup. They're meant to protest Qatar's alleged human rights violations against migrant workers.
Good thing Nike fixed their sweatshop problems
