Ok, it’s been a pretty good World Cup so far

It’s only been three days, and we’ve had an absolute classic between Spain and Portugal, Messi missing a penalty, and a lot of controversy in the France game. And we’ve still got a lot more to come. But one of our favourite things to happen so far, hasn’t been on the pitch. It hasn’t even been in Russia. It has been Ice-T’s tweets about the tournament. Yes, Ice-T. The golden age rapper who had '99 Problems' long before Jay Z ever did, and has been spitting rhymes since 1981. In 1992, he terrified America with the notorious track 'Cop Killer', with his metal band Body Count. And he’s known to a whole new generation for playing a NYPD detective on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AH-6JxGWtc But he’s been letting his feelings known on the World Cup. For instance: https://twitter.com/FINALLEVEL/status/1007710809043144704 Same, Ice. Same. https://twitter.com/FINALLEVEL/status/1007704750077423616 You should watch it more, Ice. Football is great. https://twitter.com/FINALLEVEL/status/1007722044505624577 To be fair, that one ruffled a few feathers. https://twitter.com/FINALLEVEL/status/1007909903590133760 Seriously though, next time you're in this neck of the woods, hit us up. We'll watch the first round of the Carabao Cup with you. That's real football.
