All of the top teams have been f***ing terrible this year

England are genuinely one of the best teams at the tournament performance wise thus far and we were only good for about 30 mins

Worst World Cup I’ve seen and can remember tbh

^As of right now, based on the games played and how the teams have looked, the semis could legit be Russia, Belgium, Portugal, and Mexico wtf???

Brazil needs to wake up and rectify their humiliation from the previous World Cup before we all have to bear witness to this:

Get impregnated by World Cup stars and win free Whoppers, says Burger King

Burger King’s Russian division has apologized for a social media campaign offering free burgers for life to women who get pregnant by football players

Burger King has apologized for a poor-taste ad campaign posted on its official Russian social media account.

On Tuesday the burger chain announced a promotion on VK, the Russian equivalent of Facebook, offering women 3 million Russian roubles ($47,000) and a lifetime supply of Whoppers if they get impregnated by football players competing in the World Cup.

Shortly after announcing the campaign they pulled it due to backlash. Burger King posted a statement on VK apologizing and said it had removed all materials related to the promotion. However, evidence of the stunt lives on in screenshots.

Burger King’s Russia division has a history of horrific publicity-baiting stunts. Last year it made fun of a teenage rape victim in an online marketing campaign. The fast-food company used the likeness of Diana Shurygina, who was raped when she was 16 at a house party, as part of a buy one get one free burger offer.

And it’s not just Russia; Burger King has a global track record of misogynistic marketing. In Singapore the company advertised a seven-inch burger with overtly sexual imagery and a tagline saying “It’ll blow your mind away.” The model featured in the 2009 advertising campaign later came forward to say she had no idea her image was going to be used in that way.


What the f**k?

↑ That is crazy.

Hope those percentages balance themselves out as the tournament progresses.

On the other hand, it'd be funny to read the subsequent utterances of conspiracy theorists.

This World Cup is there for the taking for any semi-decent side that can defend.

I just hope it's not Spain boring the world en route another one, or Portugal doing a Euro 2016.

2010 is by far the worst World Cup I've witnessed in my life and Euro 2016 was simply a parody.

For the likes of France, Belgium, or even Croatia, or Uruguay, there is every chance—as the favorites are not performing.

Just not Spain please.

2010 world champions are the worst winners ever. Overall though 1994 was the worst

As for Euros, 2004 says hi

For my bank balance, hoping for Spain or France.

For the heart, England or Germany.

For the GOAT, Portugal.

Order of pleasure:
England
Germany
Portugal
Spain
France
Croatia

Would be immense to see Modric holding the WC.
