Czechia have started very brightly.

Probably because the last group game was that long ago, or longer?!

Gay and Root looking good

should never be allowed out, not even a a chance of parole.

Just did a predictor again now that all 1st round matches done. 3rd placed teams - Scotlan, Sweden, Saudi, Senegal, Czech, Bosnia, Ecuador (Turkey, NZ, Uzbek, Ghana all miss out) Germany meet France in Round of 16 after the former beat Scotland. Portugal vs Spain in Round of 16, and Mexico lose to England. France vs Brazil / Spain vs Belgium / Norway vs England / Argentina vs Colombia in the quarter-finals France vs Spain / England vs Argentina in semis France vs Argentina final - France win.

Those kind of run-outs are fvcking stupid in Test cricket. Duckett didn't even dive.

oh they will be watched don't worry!

In a game where 4 seamers have been picked, I didn't expect Bethell to be one of the main wicket-takers

Only until they can take the new ball, which is imminent...

What is Duckett doing...

let's extend it to not knowing who the penalty taker is. 3 attackers line up in the D, but the keeper doesn't know who's taking it until they start their run-up...

Can't believe his dad scored that many goals for Brazil and then produces a son like that...

I've underestimated Anderson's inclusion. He was brilliant last night. Tuchel may have struck the balance right between the energy of Anderson and Rice just behind a dynamic Bellingham.

Love that Beckham was born in 'Whipps Cross'...

Fvcking hell I had no idea old slow coach was Ghana's captain

What a block from Kane

This half of football has been quality. Whole game has been entertaining to be fair.

Yesssss! When I said Croatia, I meant England!

Can feel a Croatia goal coming...

Mightily entertaining but one of these has to go in before they score...

Croatia are rattled

There's me shouting at him to square it

Matchday 1.

Madueke to England is like Mavididi to us.

They probably checked it quick with the technology.
