This was fairly epic. One of the greatest chases ever, made all the more spectacular given the jeopardy of playing in such a way with only 1 wicket remaining. It was heroic.

I don't have the time, inclination or expertise

Excited for this game. Reckon Brazil will have too much but Japan always make things interesting.

Anyone done the sausage roll yet?

Hamza Aluko Mavididi Martin The 4 pictures chosen on the club's X account showing 'arrivals'. How fvcking uninspiring.

Goallll!

Jesse Marsch is not happy is he He was on the pitch.

Some more last-ditch defending from SA!

Do they have to show Infantino every single game?

I just don't think they have the quality, let alone play for the draw. I'd be surprised if they score.

Also regarding the pitch, I think it's a decent one for a test? Rock hard on the first two days then the dryness starts to have an impact and it's a challenge to bat on. That's what you want rather than a road for 4 or 5 days. Brings all elements of the game into play - spin, seam, movement. The toss was crucial. The silly and reckless batting, even when chances are slim (not impossible), is just self-inflicted.

Not a penalty. The SA player got a touch on the ball.

Everytime they go to Unkel a little piece of me dies inside.

Should be a goal for Canada. Spirited defending by SA.

Extra time. With hydration breaks after every 5 mins

Well yeah, that's the thing. You've thrown it away right from the start...

You've been able to get close to those totals before!

Have England thrown this away?

Looks tight.

Rashford has had a stinker of a game.
