After months of build up, it's time for the World Cup - we spent some time and posts discussing RWC 2015 in the first incarnation of Following Football, mostly because of its close kinship to all four brands of football that we normally cover, but we haven't talked about it much in the last month or so...
But Friday, match one features England and Fiji in the 'pool of death' (every such tournament has one, it seems!), and then Saturday features four different opening round matches all over England: the full schedule is here.
We have no particular idea as to who's in form, who the favorite should be, although here at Following Football, we tend to follow the All Blacks from New Zealand and root for them; the Australian Wallabies are also a blog favorite, and of course whenever the United States or Canada is in the mix, we're paying attention as well. But here's the ESPN expert predictions - remarkably, the majority of them see France as a team that will either make a surprising run into the semi finals OR self-destruct colorfully and dramatically.
