Oh yeah, if England do come through Mexico in Mexico City, the next game will be in Miami with no aircon. The way these fixtures are organised is crap. Lucky, lucky France btw, again.

Want to watch Sco-Bra but need to get up for work @5:45am

You'd expect us to beat Panama. This result puts the pressure on Croatia & Ghana in their game. England v USA in 2022 was a rubbish performance. With the first group game won the pressure isn't really on. If we were to not turn up in the knock out games it's a problem but really we're still very comfortable and it puts all the pressure on Ghana & Croatia in their final match. I expect some changes to the team after Panama too. Saka comes in, Rogers pushing too.

Twists the knife into Croatia abit, they'll have to turn up against Ghana. Heat is on in the knock out rounds, result like this dampens expectations a little bit too. You'd expect Saka to be coming in over Madueke, the defence today wasn't first choice either. Try to at least enjoy the ride

Abdul best player on the pitch

Looked like Konsa should've gave a pen away there, no contact on the ball, lept across both feet in the air, contacts the attacker on his leg. Gwon Fatawu btw

Argie fans delirious. So much of their national pride is based on football.

Shade of Weghorst v Argentina about that

These hydration breaks are weird. They take 3+ minutes but rarely does it seem those minutes are put back on, you'll see 4 goals in a first half like Germany Curacao but then the ref will only add 4 minutes on. So you're saying the "3 minute hydration break", 4 goals being celebrated, the ball being out of play and possible injuries added up to 4 minutes extra? Last World Cup we were getting 8 minutes added to some games without the water breaks. We're seeing less football and more adverts, I haven't actually seen that called out yet.

Quality celebration there, run up to the ginormous blue wall and crank your neck up 90° to the Saudi fans.

Won't be long before the sponsor is above the badge.

Oh dear. That predictor bloke might've been onto something.

Sunderland do well to keep hold of Brobbey, rich owners and Europe so possible but he's dominating this stage.

What's with these weird full time whistles by the way? Traditionally it's a BOOP-BOOP-BOOO-OOOOWOOP. For some reason they're now doing one blast of the whistle, looking around confused and gesturing at players for a couple of seconds and then finishing off blowing the whistle. Never thought they could somehow mess that up but they seem to be doing so this tournament.

Greedy little ****er that Brahim Diaz, 2-0 if he lays it off.

Thought McToninay was supposed to be the sauce, been shight.

Seen them given on the halfway line before. Looked last man/DOGSO.

Issa Diop last man there?

There's your gameplan out the window after a minute Mr. Clarke

The way things could fall that may not happen til at least the quarters. Gotta keep the population invested in it, would not want to be in their group or against them in the first couple knock-out rounds.

Poor quality game. Hope Morocco Scotland is decent.

State of that airshot. Daka-esque

How shit must Türkïyë be?
