Surprised we don't have a thread for this already. The event is knocking on the door so we may as well start one! For the group stages, there are four games a day. Yes, you read that right - four games. Probably to get the tournament over and done with so everyone can go back to playing in their leagues! The first game is Qatar v Equador on November 21st - I'm sure we'll all be on tenterhooks for that one. England's first game - against Iran - is on Day 2. Here are the groups, and the match schedule. 32 teams in eight groups of four: Group A: Qatar, Ecuador, Senegal, Netherlands Group B: England, Iran, USA, Wales Group C: Argentina, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Poland Group D: France, Australia, Denmark, Tunisia Group E: Spain, Costa Rica, Germany, Japan Group F: Belgium, Canada, Morocco, Croatia Group G: Brazil, Serbia, Switzerland, Cameroon Group H: Portugal, Ghana, Uruguay, South Korea Group stage - all kick-off times in UK Sunday November 20 Group A: Qatar vs Ecuador (Al Bayt Stadium, Al Khor;

Kev is right. Truth is, for a while there, he got them playing without fear, and the football flourished. Finalists! But all those new players are now playing with exactly the same fear (of making an error and being slaughtered or losing their place) and hesitancy and caution and reserving energy (because prem is more important) as all the previous teams did, right back as far as the last time we played with shackles off, 96. So we are back to little expectation and cheering on our prem teams foreign players.

Yeah, more good news. Every time I read about another LFC player not making their World Cup squad, it makes me happy. Firmino is a strange one...he's been really good for us this season...one of our best performers. At this rate, there'll only be Van Dyke and Henderson not getting a 6 week jollie.
