The World Cup is as brilliant as it is predictable!

We can pretty much guarantee that all ten of these things will happen at the World Cup this summer.
Especially no.6.
10) South American cameraman repeatedly cuts to attractive female supporter, who sees her face on the big screen and becomes immediately less attractive in her excitement.
9) A commentator claims before every Costa Rica, Iran or Algeria match that the minnows will be, ‘determined to prove they’re not just here to make up the numbers’.
8) English commentator makes a truly comical, and verging on offensive attempt at pronouncing a little known Bosnian or Russian players name.
7) A bizarre opening ceremony occurs, that leaves spectators world-wide scratching their heads in confusion, wondering what on earth they just witnessed.
6) An English pundit wears a grey or pastel shirt that slowly changes colour throughout the course of a 90 minutes due to intense sweating. Adrian Chiles will then make an awkward joke and leave everyone wishing he hadn’t mentioned it.
5) A random Premier League footballer will be used as a pundit for a match they know nothing about – and will smile and nod, and possible swear, as Gary Lineker desperately tries to force some analysis out of them.
4) A little known midfielder will score a screamer from 30 yards in the group stages, which will see him continuously linked to every Premier League club throughout the rest of the summer. We will never hear from him again.
3) Twitter will question why on earth none of the Spanish team sings during their national anthem, before a legion of fellow internet warriors remind them that the song has no words.
2) Regardless of the mounds of evidence that suggests to the contrary, England fans will secretly think the Three Lions might just win the World Cup.
1) England will lose on penalties.
