It will soon be upon us! Who is watching and is anyone actually going to Brazil?
[list][/list]I have been to Rio a couple of times and it is some place

With the World Cup and the Olympics being held there many will see Rio for the first time. There can be no other beaches quite like Rios. One of my favourite photos was taken from the top of Sugar Loaf

Re: world cup

We're away in Majorca when one of the matche's are on but it's a 8pm kick off which makes it 9pm
Their time so probably a bit late with kids! would have been nice to watch it, thanks its always a fab atmosphere when your away an England are on, will have to see, wouldn't want anywhere rowdy with the kids. I know my other half is wanting to watch it when I mentioned yesterday. I know one of the games isn't on until 11pm! Least it's a lot earlier than that :-)

Re: world cup

I know lots of folks worry about not being able to watch the World Cup abroad. But for many it will be a real bind when OH wants to go somewhere just to watch the match and you just want to have a good night out WITHOUT watching telly, which you do the rest of the year!

Re: world cup

It's boring. Used to be good a long time ago when I had some interest in it.

Re: world cup

I had the game as 1-1 as a bet. That was never a penalty! And surely Fred isn't really his name?? It has to be Fredinio:)
Opening ceremony- awful!

Re: world cup

You are right, it was never a penalty, I wanted Croatia to win.

That opening ceremony cost 9 Million dollars, you would have thought they could have at least sorted the sound.

Re: world cup

I have watched alot in the passed but as years have gone on I watch less and less football, cant wait for it to finish so we can have the Tour De France to watch, 3rd July is the opening ceremony

Re: world cup

Well I'm looking forward to catching up on Wallander! The whole of this last series is sitting there on the Virgin+ box all ready and waiting, along with a stockpile of other stuff, to give me something worthwhile to watch whilst escaping the wall to wall football. :tup

Excellent series, I like subtitled movies and TV programmes so I enjoyed the original subtitled Wallander, however Mrs Kiltie never watches anything with subtitles but she does like it now with Kenneth Branagh.

Re: world cup

Branagh was good but not a patch on either of the Swedish series! Must say that Krister Hendrikkson is my favourite Wallander. :tup

Re: world cup

That's just typical, the pager went and I was out at a shout for nearly all of the Spain / Netherlands match, missed all the goals and only managed to see the last 5 minutes
