  I thought it would be a good idea for a sort of megathread for the World Cup. It's going to start on the 12th June which is now about 28 days. A useful site here for a countdown https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/ge...+World+Cup
  
  It's probably a good idea to put news, previews and reviews here and how you think the World Cup is going to go.
  
  It's certainly going to be a good event.

  Cannot wait for the world cup going to be an epic event. I've put a bet on for uraguay to win it. I know it's a bit far fetched but they have a decent team, it's in south america so I am presuming a south american team will win it. Also think ronaldo will be top goal scorer. He's had a brilliant season this will just top it all off for him.

  World cup is going to be amazing, especially with the squad roy has picked. no one can really moan about the team in general as the best players have been the players he's picked, ie the younger generation in shaw lallana barkley sterling etc. Being in Brazil at that age will surely be an incredible experience. I also agree with gooner666 saying wilsher will be key, his work rate will be essential in the middle next to gerrard!

  GOAL OF THE DAY
  
  Back when the Scotch actually qualified quite frequently...
  
  Archie Gemmill, vs Holland, 1978.

  GOAL OF THE DAY
  
  Maradona (boo) vs England (yay) in the 1986 QF.
  
  
  
  Would show his other goal from that game but I don't think he's been shamed enough yet.
  
  Also, only 3 weeks til the 2014 tournament starts. Getting excited yet?

  Luis Suarez had knee surgery today that could keep him out for 4 weeks. Uruguay are hopeful that he'll be fit enough to take part in the World Cup but with their game against England on the 19th June (4 weeks away exactly), here's hoping there aren't any miraculous early recoveries eh?
  
  GOAL OF THE DAY
  
  Not actually a goal, more an ingenious way of preventing one. From Brazil v Zaire at the 1974 tournament.
