If they tighten up defensively then nobody is getting near France realistically. Unless you can luck it out to penalties.

Magdalena Bay are AMAZING, possibly making the best pop music in the world right now. Their last album is genuinely incredible.

The mars melt

The anxiety in Haaland’s eyes then when he mis kicked it 😂😂

What a goal

Gillette have a Razer to sell unfortunately

Apparently 147 people turned up wahey

You’d be correct. It was exciting but he was never ready and they dumped and discarded him like trash rather than helping his development.

Aren’t all horses dark? Even the grey ones??

The gaslight anthem do a better ‘National anthem’ but it’s very sad, even sadder than the Radiohead one.

Genuine question if you could swap Kane for Haaland up front for England right now, would you go for it?

Are Norway…are they…a dark horse to win it?

You just don’t know what squads are gonna look like come quarter/semi final stage. Depth is gonna be key and unlike any African team in history they have unreal depth and will basically win any shootout with that freak in goal.

Manchester is brilliant these days, just expensive sadly (and also provided you avoid Piccadilly gardens).

Liverpool’s transport system on paper looks amazing but is functionally appalling (only just got tap on/off trains). All its music venues are shutting down, its crime rate is a lot higher and homelessness is a lot worse there.

Was it ever this bad?

Morocco can win the thing you know. Will need a bit of luck if they come up against France but they’ve been the better team v Netherlands and Brazil now. They’re battle hardened and full of class.

The fact it’s going to penalties in the first place is a bad omen for the European teams. Brazil 2014 aside, there’s a reason why European teams always struggle in N/S America world cups. Surfaces/humidity etc. Everyone started off the day calling Brazil lucky and now they’re the only one the favourites that actually won yesterday.

Some game this (if you have crippling insomnia) like j me on my

That Mexican stadium looks like they built a stadium at the bottom of old John at Bradgate hahaah

German football is in the pits at a national level

God I love Tim Vickery, representing all us neurospicy folk.

Good teams will be able to get through that. France, Spain, Argentina would’ve demolished Paraguay tonight.

Yeah I think that white ball series v Sri Lanka in September has his name written all over it. You can’t get Bairstow and Buttler out consecutively, have his average across white ball formats and not be under consideration. Something special about him.

Sometimes just ranting and getting it all out on paper or virtual paper helps. It sounds and feels like a helpless situation now, everything really is bleak out there, but it is only for now, it tells you nothing about the future. Kudos for opening up, we’re all here for you 💙
