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"

DONKEY

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.

Morocco's anthem certainly has a twang of military dictatorship about it

It was a red card. I think Argentina have been exposed to a degree, their fullbacks are shocking, they'll find the semi in Atlanta tough against either England or Norway. It was laid out on a platter for them in Qatar, but I don't think it'll work out like that this time. Thing that stands out about them for me are their fans, they're so energetic and rambunctious, filling stadiums and so vibrant, I thought their nation was going through repeated severe economic challenges for a while now... they seem to be doing quite well for themselves and very proud.

If you were to analyse every single foul committed by England, are there many cards if any which were unjust? People bolting more onto it than it needs to be. The last round of fixtures have really stirred up the conspiracy theory/fixed side of things. It's the sharp edge of the tournament now, a whole day without a fixture signals in were nearing the end. World Cup Final in 11 days. Seeing Norway have a "sickness bug" going around, not believing anything out there like that now . Be bonkers if England make the Final, country will be buzzing.

So much for your high unemployment rate Colombia!

Absolute bobbins

Looked very much a pen, stray leg dangling out there stopped the Swiss lad

Goalie trying to look injured after clattering into Embolo

Suisse looking much better this half

Yeah tbh. Kansas(base), Dallas, Dallas. That's for me relying on AI for research

No, Argentina have actually had to bounce all over the place. They've based in the same city as England, Kansas City, but look at where their games have been. France were really lucky with how the draw fell into place.

Get this to extra time. Tire both of these out abit more please

If we do play Argentina btw, this'll be the stadium it's played in.
