Fair play ref evening it up

I'm calling it now this goes to pens

Got a horrible feeling Anderson will pick up a second yellow shades of Gazza Italia 90

It's uncanny

Jude reminds me so much of Zidane in his pomp

Decent start, think we've done ok so far

Don't envy him tonight, this game is a nighmare to officiate

Reece James looks proper slow

Refs earning his money tonight

Simeone a chip off the old block dirty ****

Hope an England player cons the ref and gets Simeone's lad sent off as payback for Beckham

I AM TITANIUM!

Wearing the same kits as 98 isn't a good omen

Can't argue with the pashun on the Argie players faces singing ttheir anthem

Desperately need some rain. All the hard work I did earlier this year on establishing my new lawns is in danger of going to shit.

Yep, First England tournament I can remember properly was Spain 82 WC and it's been heartbreak ever since. No reason this time should be any different but we live in hope as always.

Bought 6 x 100l bags of bark chippings from Wickes for a little landscaping project. Pulled the trolley over to the car, and started unloading them into the boot. Having loaded 4 of the 6 bags, an old woman walks over to me (must be in her late 70's/early 80's) and she says: "Do you need some help my love? I can see you're struggling. I'm not very strong myself but you look like you could do with another pair of hands" So between me and the old dear, we load the remaining bags into my car. I mean bless her but fvck me, if there was ever a sign I need to hit the gym hard, this was it.

I love that Rory is such a golf history nerd and sicko like the rest of us. Not many tour players could do this.

Sunday 19th 2026 could go down in history as the greatest sporting day ever. Tommy Fleetwood walks up the 18th at Birkdale to a homecoming hero's ovation as he wins the Open. Then England beat France in the WC final to bring it home. Just imagine.....

Yeah those ones. The official FIFA world rankings. Sorry they don't fit with your agenda mate

People seeming to completely overlook the fact that this ‘poor’ Argentina side are currently ranked #2 in the world and ahead of England. On his day Messi is still a world beater and match winner and Argentina will have the vast majority of fans in the stadium. I fail to see what’s so ‘comfortable’ about all of this for England.

Apart from @Finnegan obvs

Dembele first half hat trick v Norway might be the stand out performance so far for me

Beg to differ. For those of us who remember Mexico 86, that injustice still hurts deep. And then Simione's antics in 98 getting Beckham sent off and Batistuta stood there nodding his head hurt like fvck at the time. I give Argentina more than a second thought and beating them would give me more pleasure than pretty much any other nation.
