There's nothing quite like being at a football match, but you can't go to them all. So the next best thing is watching it from the comfort  of your own sofa, surrounded by your loved ones (beer, snacks etc).

Starting with the World Cup in Russia, I'll be doing all the hard watching for you, keeping you up to date with the latest from the tournament.

The wall-chart of choice is already up (courtesy of the ever-reliable When Saturday Comes magazine), the squads have been named, and we are good to go.
