Picked for vanity reasons only ?

Has to be. Utterly useless otherwise and a waste of a space for another player.

Has Neymar been under the knife? 

 

His crying looked even more funny than I thought it would

Heja Norge!!! 

Haaland is a cheat code. What a monster. Brazil had their chances, but did not take them and then Haaland happend.

Doesn't take away the fact they got the penalties. Endrick missed a sitter and Nyland made a handful of top saves. Except for Ødegaards chance at the end of the first half, Alisson didn't have much to do.

Norway deserved to win.

Would be interested to hear from Tim Vickery about the Brazilian media and publics post mortem of the national team in the next day or so,

Not too much lighting around Mexico City still.

He'll undoubtedly mention the fact they've gone out in the knock outs every tournament the moment they've faced a European team for something like 6 tournaments in a row.

Fox just showed an interview with Pochettino...he looks like he likes his junk food

Pougatch looks like he's been on a 3 week bender.

Glad to see James on the bench at least so fingers crossed he’ll be available v Norway (if we manage to win tonight). 
 

Huge task ahead but always hopeful with Kane and Bellingham on the pitch.

Norway was always going to be dangerous because any side with a truly  magical goal scorer has always has a chance. But they're actually a pretty decent side even without Haaland, and this is probably the worst Brazil WC team in decades.

Brazil are not the side from 2002 and the 90s, but they're no mugs. I thought they looked excellent at times first half, especially in transition. Vini, Cunha, Bruno all looked really good. Douglas Santos didn't give anything away and Nusa was shut down as well. Add PL winners like Martinelli and Gabriel and Alisson who's still a top tier goalie, and this is easily a side that should be among the eight best teams at a World Cup, imo.

They usually throw fruit and spray cream over the bus, it’s a trifle hostile in Mexico

Kane has gained a german twinge in his accent. He says "sooo" a lot more in a very germanic way.

Kick off moved to 2am!

Hour delay to KO
