Why's everyone moaning about the World Cup featuring teams from all over the world? That's how it should be. If it was the "best" 32 teams, it would be the Europe/South America Cup, not the WORLD Cup. I bet young fans from so-called smaller countries will be inspired seeing their team go out and play on the world stage, even if it's just for the 3 games of the group stage. Every team who is there has earned the right to be there.
Anyway, in more positive news, today's the big bumper day! FOUR games, no less! Games kicking off at 11:00, 2:00, 5:00 and 8:00 UK time! A bumper feast of the beautiful game!
