Czechia have started very brightly.

I like how this is the current game but nobody here is talking about it and there hasn't been a post for five days. As harsh as it is, this is the most boring group for me. 

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.

I do enjoy watching some of the more random games but today is a stretch for the neutral  

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

Short bowling tactic this morning. Really? 

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

What is Duckett doing...

Glad Kane didn't mess about with a stuttered run for the re taken pen. He's got such a good technique without it.

 

For me, keepers should be allowed to come off their line if the pen takers are allowed to stop in their run up.

yeah if the taker is going to **** about then everyone should be allowed to rush the box. 

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...

Only just found out who his dad is!  😮 

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

Elliott Anderson is an absolute menace, his pressing ability is extraordinary.

 

Won't get carried away yet as we need to get the defence right, I think Guehi needs to start but then losing Stones experience is not an easy decision.

 

If Tuchel has somehow altered our default trait of fear then we could be one hell of a prospect.

 

 

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. 

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

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

Possible offside and no VAR check?

Did they not even review that for off-side?

 

They probably checked it quick with the technology.
