    Linguistically creative students at the University of Oxford in the 1880s distinguished between the sports of “rugger” (rugby football) and “assoccer” (association football). The latter term was further shortened to “soccer” (sometimes spelled “socker”), and the name quickly spread beyond the campus. The word is commonly used in many countries across the world where rugby and American football are also played

    It will be interesting to hear and see the experience of football fans in Qatar

    Gotta respect every countries culture. But this will be a culture shock for many considering it’s a conservative Muslim country that is wealthy and does not need tourism money...

    no alcohol (only tourist hotels), no kissing or affection in public, can’t wear clothes showing too much skin ( beautiful World Cup women will be covered) can’t take photos or videos in public only designated tourist locations, no obscenities in public etc....

    intense considering how Europeans, North Americans, South Americans, Asia and Africa have different vibe to the beautiful game

    For some reason, I have had this feeling since earlier this year that Portugal will win the WC. Of course I could be wrong, but I still feel so.

    I think this can be one of the most predictable world cups ever.
    If nothing rare happens this is for Brasil. They are on another level compared to the rest and have they whole team in good conditions.

    Got my bet on Qatar to beat Equador 1-0, goal scored in the first half.

    I've placed an interesting bet for the whole tournament:

    4 or more corners in every single match. How many games? 112 or something like that? Not big odds but it seems a safe way of making a bit of £££.

    And here I am on the other side, having a feeling they won't make it out of the group. Let's see, man I'm so excited. Til september had no annual leave days from my job, kept them all so I can be off for the entire period of the World Cup. I won't miss a minute from this competition.
