Is Stones carrying something? All the clamour to take him and he hasn't played since the first game.

Think I'd prefer to go out tonight rather than getting knocked out in the middle of the night by Mexico

Not a fan of the hydration breaks obviously - but I do think there has been less delays and stoppages either side of them. I'd be interested to see any 'ball in play' stats compared to the Premier League.

Unreal. Only way they don't win it is if someone can shithouse them. Argies will try their best.

The little pass into Olise too is great, 99% of the time that goes out to the full back.

Olise running the show.

Yeah there is no way Mbappe wasn't going to score. Some player, and seems a bit more likeable recently too.

Dont think its been too bad in this world cup so far. No surprise to see more grabbling tonight with Arsenal players

Wow almost the greatest world cup goal ever from Olise?

I think Haaland is fuming that he nearly missed

Sure he made that save more difficult by going with the wrong hand

Even when he cocks it up he scores

Didn't Fernandes miss an absolute sitter that might have relegated Spurs too? He has been relegated 2 seasons in a row and now he's worth £85m

Scuffed finish but great goal. I don't know why all the subs celebrating goals at tournament annoy me so much. Noone gets to celebrate a goal properly because every dickhead is jumping on them. I guess I'm just a grumpy bastard.

All this talk of how good African sides are, and South American success yesterday as made me go all European so C'mon Norway

Jonathan Tah has done well to get it so high over the bar

As funny as Germany going out is, I can't stand south American teams and their antics. Never a foul, Keeper didn't even appeal for it.

Didn't see that coming. Paraguay were playing like they didn't know where the opposition goal was.

First game I've seen where it looks genuinely hot.

All for the cameras? If he does do it then fair play but judgement will be on the pitch.

Did I miss a change in kick off time Sure it said 10pm earlier

When Casemiro is bad he's ****ign awful isn't he. Feeling the effects of group games maybe because he looks like he can barely move. Japan have been decent but I think they get over the top praise for doing very simple things at times.

Consistently no, but at it's best we often had starts of 70/80 which at least set a decent foundation. But it was reliant on Duckett's form mainly

Difference between now and the early part of the Baz ball era was they were getting themselves into positions to attack. Now they are not giving themselves the foundations to attack. Root, Brook, Stokes and Bairstow/Smith were coming in after Ducket/Crawley/Pope have given them a decent start, that's just not happening consistent enough now. Also the bowlers aren't as consistent and the attack is ever-changing. Brook needs someone to come in and remind him what test cricket is all about - yes, you can be aggressive but trust your ability to keep in on the ground FFS and give yourself a chance. Maybe the captaincy will force him to do that but to me he doesn't seem intelligent enough to be captain. Bethell is probably the most natural captain material, but he needs to concentrate on making himself a test player first. We have to have a spinner who can bat - especially without Stokes.

And even then, New Zealand would probably have won that if they could catch.
