OHHHHH I WANNA DRINK WITH SOMEBODY!!! I WANNA HYDRATE WITH SOMEBODY!!!! YEAHHHH I WANNA AD BREAK SOMEBODY!!! WITH THOSE BASTARDS AT FIFAAAA!!!!

"LET'S GO CANADA! LET'S GO CANADA!"

I guess I could expect nothing less with Jesse Marsch at the wheel, but Bosnia are also playing their part in this being a proper weird start to a football match. Shape appears to be optional, they've both seemingly spent more time on training ground set piece routines

F*** me the BBC are acting like Bosnia Herzegovina are gonna walk this, great in-depth analysis as always.

Should have been at Forge's gaff, this. Ah well, let's do this!

OH NO SHITHOLE SHAT HIMSELF

SETH EFRICA SHOT KLAXON 🚨🚨🚨🗣️🗣️🗣️

Did you see the Yanks' 'Coca-Cola™️ Send-Off Game'? 😂 I honestly wish i was making it up. That's what they called their last friendly. Which they lost to one of the crappest Germany teams in living memory.

Mexico do have a reputation of shooting themselves in the foot. Doesn't surprise me that they're taking their foot off the gas and letting Seth Efrica back into it. Good save that, though. And then off the post. They're still by far the likelier to score again.

At the same time, the thought of USA vs Iran in the round of 32 (or whatever the bracket is, I've already lost count of how many qualify) is absolutely titilating. Iran will actually win that as well you know, they're one of the better teams in Asia these days. Hell, it would be hilarious if both them and Iraq get further than the US

I knew this world cup would take five minutes to get under your skin Foxile (You're completely right though, it's absolutely shameless commercial shoehorning)

Can't believe there are two footballers with Coventry as their surname. I'm shook.

Man South Africa are really bad aren't they? Hope this World Cup is what finally kills off the playing out from the back as a footballing concept. It's ten years out of date. ... So of course we're in for Russell Martin

Oh come on, you can't moan about us having one of the greyest fanbases on planet earth, then go on to moan that there are going to be more kids in the ground next season. If anything, be angry it's taken relegation to the third tier for the next generation to be in with a sniff of getting tickets regularly. Though I also question how long this new wave of young fans will want to stick around if they're subjected to Brusselball right out of the gates!

Can't wait for us to sink our entire TV deal for the year on sacking BTEC Brendan in November

Nah, they're completely run of the mill. But enjoyable in the circumstances. The issue is the UK market's fetish for cutting both cost and ABV, and the fact that people willingly drink the glucose-syrup cut slop we produce domestically. Don't even get me started on Madri literally being Carling's old recipe repackaged as a 'premium' beer from Spain.

Wherry is a gorgeous pint in its local area, great bitter. Woodforde's are a very under-rated brewery in general, they have that Everard's vibe of being everywhere locally in Norfolk but barely seen outside of their own network of pubs.

Budvar from B&M, 3 bottles for £5.50 (or was it £5.75? I forget) at the minute which is a good deal. Can't be doing with these atrocious UK-brewed imposters of continental beers, but surprisingly while the likes of Tesco are doing it with more and more brands, the discounters are generally the place to go for the imported real deal. If you're into Mythos that's the latest one to get ruined for our market, but both Home Bargains and B&M still get the real shit in from Greece. I mean, they're atrocious at keeping the bottles properly, but i'd rather drink a Greek Mythos that has gone a bit skunky than a UK-brewed one that's .5% lower ABV and cut with glucose syrup to save money. If you're so inclined as to care, look for the ones that just say "Hellenic Beer" and avoid the ones that say "brewed with a Hellenic heart" (lol) like the plague. Wish somewhere would import real Cruzcampo for what it's worth - between summer holidays and our adventures in the UCL I grew to love the real thing, hangover in Sevilla aside. As basic as it is by Spanish standards, our version is an absolute insult to both Spain itself and the intelligence of UK drinkers. They couldn't even get the Radler right and instead brought out some hideous Frankenstein's monster with oranges instead, which I gave a go and couldn't even finish a 4-pack of.

Bit late for that, we're a year away from financial oblivion and that scenario playing out anyway. And the club's answer is apparently to sign a perennial failure, who a huge subsection of the fanbase already hate, to spearhead a total rebuild of this carbuncle of a squad? It's criminal negligence. LCFC is on fire. Meanwhile Nero is fiddling while Rudkin and Russell Martin feed him grapes. Fans wishing for Admin to remove this leech of an ownership aren't unreasonable at this point. The club's very existence is at stake the moment those parachute payments run out in 12 months' time unless we are promoted at the first time of asking - we're not talking administration, we're talking potential winding-up orders. Everybody loses their jobs in that scenario regardless and we all lose our club. That's your perspective.

Even Hannah Waddingham couldn't have picked a worse appointment and she went into Richmond purposely trying to tank them to spite her ex-husband. I genuinely feel like Top is doing this to someone for similar reasons at this point. About the only similarity between Ted Lasso and Brussell Martin I can think of is that their appointment is sure to be followed by the fans calling them w*nk*rs. There will be no redemption arc for the latter, just misery and the club being run out of existence as it rots in the third tier (or worse). Oh, and Roy Kent would eat this twat for breakfast.

Times like this I'm truly grateful to have non league on my doorstep to distract me. Never mind that on current trajectory they could be in the same league as Leicester in two years' time, if not potentially a tier above 😅

You'll still have to watch us twice if you go to Peterborough games!

I know they're not exactly Brazil, but the Bangladeshi fanclub's fawning of Hamza as their talisman, the peak of Football in their nation, is incredibly funny at times like this. And yes, he's playing before anyone asks. inb4 someone tells me to charge my phone

Yesss I get to use the picture again
