Midfield isn't the same without Rice. Getting stressy

Gave them 2 corners for no reason before that

Rice is looking knackered, even when it was going around the squad for the anthems. Such a key player.

Looks like a football game being played in an oven

I know mate. Admiral seem to have been rebooted around COVID time by a Manc aswell, but I'll still consider Umbro as Cov for history sake. Reebok had done to them by Adidas what Nike did to Umbro. Grim.

I like Umbro aswell but they're a Coventry company, Admiral were Leicester but they haven't had a foothold in football since the 80's. Mizuno are great. F*** Castore.

Soooo McGregor's meant to be foightin tonight. Thought he'd been roiding his tits off being a moviestar these last 4 years

One of the South African players from this tournament has died. Jayden Adams, played in all of their games

Pass back rule seems entirely up to discretion and very lax.

Last match at the SoFi(Inglewood) then, apparently a complete mosquito fest. Do like how it's set into the ground.

We need a juicy suprise in the quarters I think, hopefully not tomorrow tho.

32 °c tomorrow in Miami at 5pm, 70% humidity, which will apparently make it feel like 39°. Feels better to be playing another Northern European side in these conditions but the players are likely to be shagged for the next week, whoever makes it through

Doesn't want to be here, wants to take his chances in Italy. Fair play. Was rated very very highly but didn't show it last season. Best of luck to him.

France's depth in technical ability is insane.

Probably why VAR needed a long look at it.

Morocco rolling over for a belly rub by the looks of it

Sauntering towards another trophy. "One more time"

World Cup quarter final, relying on Issa Diop Bloke made himself smaller

One of the nails in the coffin for gambling in my experience. Wales at Cardiff's stadium, some sort of qualifier. I maxed SkyBets 1+ shot outside the box from Bale, boosted to like 4/1 and £25 on. They get a freekick outside the box, Bale has a shot from it, tiny deflection, either the keeper saved it or it went in. Buzzing. Waiting for the stats to refresh on whichever agent they used at the time, nothing, no money back. Livid. Can't remember if it was even a goal FFS. Had some money on a horse to place aswell around that time e/w. Middle of the pack, end straight it's somehow in the lead, powering away from the pack, big odds, again buzzing... the jockey for reasons completely unfathomable to me decides to leap off the horse, nothing around, flat straight to finish, no jumps. Jockey jumped off the horse. So nice to watch sport now without constantly thinking of how to "make money out of it" Thanks for reading my blog

It's taken this long into the tournament for commentators to notice the added time discrepancies

He is a great keeper. Shame we didn't see him at an English club, went straight for the Saudi money.

Desperate challenge there, poor. Mbappe's so rapid and clean with his touch.

Entire '66 Cup Final popped on YouTube last night, skipped through most of it. That free-kick for the second German goal, their last minute equaliser, Jack Charlton heading the ball over Seeler... never ever a foul.
