I don’t know if I’ll be more enthusiastic when it starts but at the moment I have virtually no interest in it.

It just seems all a little bizarre holding it in November - you dont get the days of beers in the sun with football interjected in between.

Watching Wales at 10am on a Friday morning in a World Cup as good as it sounds would be much better at 3pm on a Saturday afternoon in June.

Traditionalist me ;)

You won't be the only one feeling the same I would imagine.

I'll be on a little trip to London with my wife and son, so while they're enjoying the Science Museum, I'll be in a nearby pub watching the game.

You do if you go to Qatar... minus the beers of course.

10am? F*ck that I don’t get up until 11am on Fridays.

Belgium for me

With the players they've got, you'd think they'd win something eventually!

Think the conditions there may throw up a surprise or two but it's still hard to see beyond the usual suspects for a winner. Quite possible the conditions may favour Brazil as I don't think some of the big European sides will fancy their chances against them over 90 minutes let alone 120 in 35+ degrees

I and a few others will get days of beers in the sun, not quite Qatar, but we're in Tenerife.

I know a few people who have done similar to try and get some sun to watch the games
 
The excitement of the young kids around seeing Wales for the first time is brilliant. it takes me back to when i was a nipper.
