The World Cup of the Letter F gets underway with Groups A–D, where anything and everything beginning with the letter F is thrown into a tournament and judged far more seriously than it has any right to be.

From Feelings and Football Manager to Flame Shirts and Fighting, from the niche brilliance of Foot Golf to the nostalgia of Funfairs, this opening episode is packed with contenders that somehow all belong in the same competition.

Some entries are genuinely brilliant. Some are completely ridiculous. And some spark debates that nobody expected when the draw was made.

As always, the criteria is loose — cultural impact, nostalgia, usefulness, entertainment value and pure chaos all come into play as we decide who deserves to progress.

This is where the tournament begins — and the arguments only get more heated from here.
