World Cup 2018

[Wilf]

Have one my self.
I have done a bit of buying and selling memorabilia for years.
Sorry editor to tell you but not a fortune, in good nick about £25-40.
Nice little item

And at 4 gallons each, even if you got a different one each time you went, 30 coins = £632 at todays prices.

Emile Heskey has scored more goals in the knockout stages of the world cup than Ronaldo and Messi combined

I've got as many as Messi. Just saying.

 

[Badgers]

So far 10 own goals in this World Cup

The previous record was 6 in 98

I'm supposed to be working the day of the final

I've put a call out for someone to swap with me, but perversely the better England do, the less chance I have of seeing it

Finals are rarely good matches, cagey affairs, and unless you have a horse in the race not that entertaining imo.

FUCK'S SAKE. I'm also supposed to be working the evening of the SF that England would play in, should they get there

I hate today.

Man, you sound proper rough. It's probably that summer flu thing that's going round. You should get some rest.

Oh, I've just found this. I forgot I still had it. I hoped it might be worth $$$$$$$ but it doesn't appear so.

Awesome

I found my collection recently from Italia 90 gathering dust in my Mum's loft. The coins are mostly still there except for Shilton and Des Walker.

I presume there must've been a print deadline and it was a best guess?

Japan's World Cup octopus killed and 'sent to market'

Blimey, this is a good excuse for not playing your best game - Mikel John Obi told father had been kidnapped hours before World Cup match

Fucking hell, just read that. Astonishing that he managed to play the game - and in a way it would have been equally impressive if he'd decided not to play. Poor bloke, hope his dad gets over it. "Torture".

How are the gamblers doing so far?

I hardly bet but always do a few in the big tournaments. Started with £10 and have had at least one punt on every game.

Still got £7.38 left in the fund

I live life on the edge

Going to go out on a bit of a ledge: how much genuine quality have we seen in this World Cup? We've seen lots of entertaining games, lots of drama, but while there have been a few impressive performances it feels like we haven't seen teams or players consistently show their quality.

Could be wrong, I always forget stuff, but was just musing on it this morning and struggling to think of any.
