The soccer World Cup has kicked off and it will take up a lot of the sporting conversation for the next month. But what happens if you want to join in, yet you don't know your Tunisia's from your Morocco's or your Wales's from your Australia's?
Don't worry, just like last year, we've got you covered. Here is BOMB’s tongue-in-cheek team guide to the World Cup... by understanding them through a fitness lens.
Tunisia
💪🏽 Fitness equivalent = A Step Class
💥 So glad that people still remember them. Won't garner much interest but happy to still be around.
England
💪🏽 Fitness equivalent = Kipping Pull-Ups
💥 Obnoxious and arrogant but have to give praise if they can do it.
Germany
💪🏽 Fitness equivalent = A Heavy Dumbbell Row
💥 Developed a fantastic back but has unfortunately neglected the front.
Croatia
💪🏽 Fitness equivalent = A 40-day-old Big Mac
💥 Ageing. You stand around waiting for them to wither and collapse, but rarely do.
Qatar
💪🏽 Fitness equivalent = Burpees
💥 Controversial, not well liked, and some wouldn't mind seeing them removed from the program.
USA
💪🏽 Fitness equivalent = The Glute Bridge
💥 Women are much more successful at it.
Portugal
💪🏽 Fitness equivalent = Vin Diesel's Biceps
💥 Great to look at but full of empty calories. Not as good as they think they are.
Brazil
💪🏽 Fitness equivalent = Your 1-Rep Max
💥 The heavy hitter. The greatest test. But will there be success, or a tragic fail at the death?
Costa Rica
💪🏽 Fitness equivalent = A Bodybuilder's Breakfast
💥 About to be absolutely destroyed. Nice tan.
Belgium
💪🏽 Fitness equivalent = Jumping on the New Trendy Diet
💥 Everyone swears it's a winner but will likely quiver and quit near the end.
France
💪🏽 Fitness equivalent = Still the Bench Press
💥 Who needs a back when your front looks as good as this. However, too many ego reps might cause an implosion.
Spain
💪🏽 Fitness equivalent = Pure Chocolate
💥 Looks like a winner. Smells like a winner. May end up tasting bitter and dry.
Argentina
💪🏽 Fitness equivalent = The Pressure Cooker
💥 Seems like a one-trick pony (Messi) but if you delve deeper there's a lot of use to be had in it. Multi-talented. Lots of (literal) pressure on the squad to finally win.
Australia & Wales
💪🏽 Fitness equivalent = A Late Night Workout at a 24/7 Gym
💥 Probably won't achieve anything but at least showed a fighting spirit to get there. Can get weird after midnight.
Canada
💪🏽 Fitness equivalent = Puppy Yoga
💥 Cute and adorable. Everyone loves them. Hopefully won't poop themselves.
Go Canada!
Kevin & Victoria
