adrian lord

The repulsive Ronaldo dropped

Keano spot on about the disrespectful celebrations.

The Brazil kit is far and away the nicest at the tournament. It’s the combination of colour saturation, the cut, and the font of the numbers and names. Everything is perfect.

I think the Qatari rulers would enjoy the prestige conferred by their World Cup being won by the most celebrated footballing nation on Earth.

Never a penalty

Brilliant goal

Is there ever a voluntary turnover?

Go out to put the kettle on then I come back to see I’ve missed a goal. I think I’ll have about four more cups of tea tonight

This is poor.

This game’s got the atmosphere of a sparsely attended under 13s girls’ swimming gala

I don't mind interesting stuff like spin rate because at least that speaks to the physics and aerodynamics determining the flight and curvature of the ball's path and hence the skill of the players. The wholesale appropriation of NFL jargon and terminology into football under the fig leaf of the ever-mushrooming stats generated in the game....well that I really do object to. Anyway, tonight, let's hope the England Lions’ offense is on point at the turnover and thus scores.

We definitely could win it. Whether we do is another matter, but definitely possible.

Saved. Justice.

I’ve never heard Peter Walton ever disagree with the referees decision… total waste of space

Of course bribery will have become a lot more stealthy and sophisticated following the debacle of 12 years ago…

Really dull studio team on BBC for the Spain, Germany match. Let’s hope the game itself is a cracker.

So far, this World Cup has only served to underline how good is the football and how entertaining the Premier league is.

Faking injuries already.

^ I know.

The Saudi’s finishing has been rabbit in the headlights so far

What’s Keane’s? Personality Disorder?

Indeed. It set the tempo and tone of the entire match.

Foden must’ve done Southgate’s missus.

Well, I suppose it’s back to the England we have known and loved for decades…

This is awful
