FIFA Fever is upon us and it's not going anywhere. Let's go over everything you need to know about the World Cup. 

Make sure you're dressed for the event with the latest football collection from Carré. 

Last night marked the opening ceremony of the FIFA World Cup, held in Moscow. It only lasted 15 minutes before the opening match between Russia and Saudi Arabia (which Russia won 5-0) and featured Robbie Williams and Russian opera singer Aida Garifullina. Spanish World Cup winner Iker Casillas and Russian supermodel Natalia Vodianova brought the World Cup trophy onto the pitch in a Louis Vuitton case, then Williams opened with 'Let Me Entertain You'. Robbie didn't want to be outdone by anything else on the night and gave the finger to the camera as he finished, right before the dignitaries' speeches.
