I give it til the late game tomorrow night before people are saying this is a shit World Cup, especially when Portugal and Spain play out a 0-0 draw.

I know a lot of the games will be shit, but let's try to enjoy it!

[Lineker]

Here’s a list of nations who have sent leaders to join Vladimir Putin at the World Cup’s opening game. It is a short list, which probably illustrates the extent to which the tournament has become diplomatically toxic: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bolivia, North Korea, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Lebanon, Moldova, Paraguay, Panama, Rwanda, Saudi Arabia, Tajikstan, Uzbekistan.

I'm excited for this. The football, that is; the rest will probably be depressing.

Putin and Infantino look comically villainous

@MDKingdom of Saudi Arabia come on, belt it out.

[Bobfoc]

Who are we supposed to root for here? We've got two unpleasantly run nations.

Infantino was - speaking in Russian, but seemed to have no idea what he’s saying. He looked surprised when the crowd start laughing.

I somehow doubt that Polish bird is at the game, if she was, she's going to give the Saudi fans a stronk, I mean stroke.

He's just said that everyone hopes the host nation reaches the knockout stages. Under two minutes in and we've already had the first commentary gaffe.

The Saudi tactic appears to be to blend into the pitch entirely - they're practically camouflaged!

I hope VAR has thermal sensing technology.

[MDK]

The Rowdy Saudi's are passing it nicely.
