After so much dull fare, entertainment finally arrived with Brazil. As so often, World Cups only really start when Brazil take the field.

Blinking Welsh should stick to rugby and singing £50 gifted to the turf accountants this morning

Kinda diggin this Denmark team. 

 

They are pretty decent, and most of the team are actually Danish people.

 

France and Belgium...good lord...like Camp of the Saints.

Denmark should still go through and they're a team that could do well in the knockout rounds. More than anything else, Denmark continue to show what a country of 5 million people should be able to do on the world stage.

Once again I thought Morocco were quite impressive some nice footie

Wild goal celebrations with subs and coaches joining must stop. New rule required:

a) Ref blows whistle for goal. 
 

b) The restart is twenty seconds after, ready or not, with the offside rule suspended for thirty seconds.

That should get things going again without the collapsing, cuddling, boogeying, forehead-banging, sky-finger-pointing and ground-head-bumping.
 

Without my proposed moderate change, how long before we get the full Thanksgiving Service on the centre circle after a goal? Or High Mass depending who scores.

But the goal celebrations are typically the most entertaining aspect of many games. Take them away and there would be nothing to punctuate the endlessly dull exhibition of square passing.

Are we at the stage yet when we realise that Qatar is as capable of hosting a World Cup as any other?

More likely a call to prayer with a portable mosque complete with minarets being wheeled out. Then calls that it is blasphemous and has a fatwa announced on the makers.
