I couldn't find a real gif of Scotland playing at the World Cup because I don't think they filmed them that far back.

Sure they did, it was more than 30 years after the last time England did anything of note.

BREXIT MEANS BREXIT

Inshallah.

Put a cheeky quid on Shaqiri to score goal of the tournament.

We haven't had one for quite a few tournaments now.

One of my favourites is this, ahem, masterpiece:

HE IS R-OOOOOOO-OOOOOO-NEEEEEEEE!

This is so bad it needs more attention.

Inshallah.

Robbie Williams will perform at the opening ceremony of the World Cup in Moscow’s Luzhniki Stadium, just ahead of the opening game between Russia and Saudi Arabia.

The singer will be joined by Russian soprano Aida Garifullina, and – presumably not on vocals – former Brazilian international Ronaldo, part of the winning teams in 1994 and 2002.

Williams said he was “happy and excited” and that the performance was the fulfilment of a boyhood dream, promising an “unforgettable show”. The former Take That star is a keen footballer – on Sunday he led an England side to victory in the Soccer Aid charity football event, featuring other stars including Usain Bolt and Mo Farah. He also founded the LA Vale football team while living in Los Angeles.

His Moscow performance comes two years on from his tongue-in-cheek single Party Like a Russian, which offended some Russian listeners with its lyrics about an oligarch: “Alleviate the cash from a whole entire nation / Take my loose change and build my own space station.”

Fifa says the opening ceremony will take place much closer to kick-off than usual, just 30 minutes before the start of the opening match. There has been no mention of a performance of the official World Cup song, Live It Up, featuring film star Will Smith, Colombia-based pop star Nicky Jam, and Kosovan singer Era Istrefi.

Ronaldo called the opening match “very symbolic ... After so much hard work, suddenly the whole world is gathered in your backyard to celebrate their love for football. I felt that in Brazil four years ago and I am now happy to share this excitement with the Russians as well.”

... he steps up to the penalty spot confidently knowing that this single kick will win England the World Cup. When Harry Kane was taken ill with dehydration after trying to pronounce the names of the Polish defenders in the last 16, Jamie Vardy has taken his place as England's main striker. He gently picks up the ball, kisses it and whispers "Brexit means Brexit" before carefully placing the ball down.

He smashes the ball into the top corner and the net explodes into a thousand St. George flags.

For Jamie, Brexit always meant Brexit.

You forgot Inshallah.

Listen mate my three wives have been giving me guff all day since I got back from the camel factory and you can leave it out, too.

Inshallah.

just discovered that Egypt has a 45-year-old goalkeeper.

 

[MDK]

And an old pyramidfielders in the middle.

[Kaney]

That was an excellent pun. It gave me a pharaoh laugh.

[MDK]

Like when Lars met me and I was worried he didn't like my puns he said, and I remember vividly, "Thershe no sharm el sheikh your hand"

[Lineker]

Of course Lars would like your puns; he's a top Giza.

[Baddar]

Marcus Rashford picked up "a knock" in the last training session before flying to Russia.

He made his international debut when Salah was 4 years old!
