Details: Created: Thursday, 21 June 2018 21:26; Written by Darren Douglas

After all the build up and anticipation, the 2018 World Cup is well and truly underway and has already provided some surprise results. The first 4 days of the World Cup were a great spectacle for England fans, they witnessed the holders (Germany) lose to Mexico, Brazil and Argentina having unconvincing draws with Switzerland and Iceland respectively, plus France getting a little lucky to defeat Australia 2-1. Spain and Portugal did produce the most spectacular game we've had up to this point, but neither team could land the killer blow in another draw.

Monday night changed all that, it was time for England to begin their own World Cup quest, versus Tunisia, and for the nerves to take hold. Now, in light of their late, dramatic win, where do we stand with our hopes and expectations for this squad..?

It may have been around for 15 years now, but the strong divide in opinions that it stirs up, are as fervent as ever.

The canary yellow tie of gurning enthusiast, Jim White, has my strongest sympathies. Dusted off once a year, this fashion accessory is the primary witness to the Scottish presenter and his desperate efforts to fill air-time, even though he has nothing to say. If ties ever become self-aware, we'll witness Mr White being throttled to death one January...'Live on Sky Sports News!'

Football Away Days: Forest Green Rovers & The New Lawn

The New Lawn entrance I recently managed to attend two football matches in a week, something that hasn't happened in far too long. On the Wednesday evening I was lucky enough to witness Bristol City scoring 4 goals, as they knocked a sorry Crystal Palace out of the League (cough, Carabao) Cup. And then on the Saturday, I made a 1st visit to the New Lawn stadium, to watch Forest Green Rovers play Morecambe FC. How did my experience of the only vegan club in the English Football League go? Well let's find out...
