Christ, is that Ronaldo??? He's fatter than I am!

It depends.... is that you in your profile pic? ?

Glad that's over (although I do quite like Robbie Williams - he's seems like a good bloke).

 

[Mattspur]

I'm gutted they didn't use a Russian like Vitas.

Yep. Right down to the red pigtails.

 

[werty]

Going to be hard for the Football to top that.

Slaven Bilic looks like Jarvis Cocker's dad with those glasses.

But he was pretty good to be fair. Top entertainer who gets a lot of shit. No my type of music but credit where it is due and he is a Brit.

Totally. I don't mind him or his music, but it's just weird that he's the main attraction for the opening of a tournament in Russia.

The English voiceover of Putin is closer to "singing" than Robbie Williams was

This translator.

Edit: Is it a computer?

 

[tiger666]

Yeah. Likewise not my kind of music, but he seems sound enough. BUt yes, very weird that he's chosen as the opening entertainment, but what they hey, it was only 10 minutes.

 

[SpursD22]

Please just start the game I don’t want to hear Infantino speak Arabic

 

[werty]

Do they normally do this before a World Cup?

 

[Flynn]

Paint on eyebrows

 

[rez9000]

Yeah, nice one, Infantino - with all the instability in the world, phrases like 'conquer the world' is just what we need!

 

[teok]

It's such a gallery of scum bags isn't it. Football top brass grinning along stage with monsters like putin. Just get on with the football so we don't have to think about it.

 

[tiger666]

Hey you guuuuuys ..

 

[rez9000]

LMAO! The little blonde kid waving at the camera!

 

[rez9000]

We should do a sweepstake on how many times ITV commentators will use the phrase 'Mother Russia'...
