Maybe a nil nil against the yanks is not so bad.

I think you can't have too much Laura Woods and Seema Jaswal on the TV. Difficult to decide which is my favourite but I'd probably come down on the side of Jaswal.

I must have missed the memo about Matty Cash being Polish now.

Those world famous throw-caution-to-the-wind Italians and Germans. And the Brazil that won in 1994 were not Pele and co, they slogged and bored their way to that trophy.

We are never ever ever ever going to score.

Let's let them score first.

This should be an absolute doddle. I mean, the USA? They probably think it's a baseball test match or something.

It was sound advice - what's the point of the upheaval and moving to a new team and new league just to play for a shitty lower end club like us or Leeds. He will go somewhere good in the summer.

I've read the full article. What is the context the rest of us are missing? We're in a relegation scrap and have gone backwards despite the biggest spend in years. Any interview like that was always going to be a parade of self justifying management speak, so they can't really win. You want to lap it up like a good little soldier that's up to you. Don't make out you're some master of "context" though. The leadership team made the decisions over the summer and here we are at the world cup in the bottom 2 with a sacked manager they chose to back in August. All that article does is say that SD have made the calls here, so they own whatever happens from here on in.

That's the strange thing about this planet we live on. Its so weird how absolutely everyone on it just loves Russia and approves of them whatever they do.

It's an interview with Kraft and Ankerson. Up now. I can hardly breathe I'm so excited

It's going to be that isn't it. He'll say a load of promises tomorrow that come 1st February we can all call him a liar about.

Hopefully its a new chief executive to really lead the club and take us to the next level. We just need someone with a proven track record and history of success. As long as it is someone with a background in something like venture capital, sports management, football administration, ice hockey coaching, big business leadership at multinational corporations. That kind of thing.

That's my guess, I can't actually think of anything else that it could be. Assuming we might have a big name new chief exec lined up - is Peter Kenyon still going?

Just looked at that Keenan Finch twitter feed. Jesus wept.

I find it hard to believe that Tanswell would trail a story about money laundering and a potential Saints point deduction with a jolly "monster exclusive tomorrow" hype post. Thats not quite the right vibe for a story like that. It's going to be big/significant news, I don't think it will be a scandal-type story.

Just a little someone called Christiano Ronaldo.

He's not finished.

OK I don't have anything clever to say but this Canada game is mad. Canada are simultaneously not particularly good and absolutely all over Belgium. The opening rounds are always the best bit.

Don't know why the Germans are getting all carried away with rainbows and gestures like them lot are the moral compass. The Germans have been responsible for some absolute atrocities themselves. Like compound nouns, lederhosen and David Hasselhoff's pop career.

Germany v Argentina final then.

John Oliver very good tonight on the whole corrupt mess that is this World Cup.

Well, we should beat those two, so really now its just about planning who we need to rest to keep fresh for the semis and the final.

Uncle Ali Dia will be absolutely buzzing with that goal though #proud

Wales looking like the lower Championship level side that they undoubtedly are. Great goal USA.
