Just when you think it cannot get any worse, just when you think you've hit rock bottom, you go and appoint Russell bloody Martin as manager. I'm sure the Leicester fans are thinking "well yeah, but he got Saints promoted"... sure, via the play-offs... with the best team (on paper) in the League. Playing dull, possession based crab football. Good luck Leicester, that's all I can say.

They have some quality particularly in attack. I still think one of the big boys will win the tournament (France are my tip) but it wouldn't be a surprise to see a so-called lesser team like Sweden do well. A quick look at some of the attacking talent of the big boys though shows you all you need to know about their chances. France - Mbappe, Dembele, Olise, Doue... the list goes on. England - Kane, Saka, Bellingham Germany - Musiala, Havertz, Wirtz Argentina - Messi, Alvarez, Martinez Spain - Yamal, Williams, Pedri For me it'll be one of those 5 based on attacking talent - I think France's all round team is best though.

Well done! Another great hit by Ayari...

Elanga on the bench too itching to get on. Come on Isak!

That's balls.

That'll do right?

Sheffield Wednesday defender against nearly £200 million of attacking talent was always going to be tough going. Could get worse for Tunisia

Cracking finish by Isak. Halfway there @Saint_clark

I think Tunisia will be a tricky opponent but you can't argue with Sweden's firepower, even if Isak has been off it a bit since his injury.

A sneaky win from Ivory Coast. They and Norway are my dark horses to do well in the tournament this year. Thriller coming up at 3am - Sweden vs Tunisia. Surely Isak and Gyokeres will be too much for Tunisia... stay tuned peeps. I'll be watching.

Noticed this quite a bit this WC especially in the Germany game earlier. Much as I quite like the addition of "Ref Cam", I wonder if them getting in the way has something to do with the new cyborg-esque camera attached to their heads.

I've counted 3 times now where the ref has got in the way of attacks.

I guess that's probably "shock of the tournament" so far, I had Turkey to beat Australia but there you are.

Scotland scrape through and the commentators sound like they're going to ejaculate. It sounded like he said "Scotland have won the World Cup!" - there was probably an "in" after "won" but that's not what it sounded like.

Are we counting academy prospects? Then Musiala 😁
