No time for VAR, the adverts need to run!

I haven't seen any shots of beautiful England females though. Shame. I will probably lay off the beer now. Shit Croats score again.

I'm looking forward to the halftime adverts and punditry. ITV for the win

FK. Third before half time be nice...

He'll be hungry for a hattrick now.

What a header.

I'd have had Bowen over him. I see what Tuchel has done, gone with pace, but you still need a brain.

Good finish that but we look far from coherent. Not a fan of Gordon and Madueke so far.

Terrible defending

'96 Gazza moment...

Doesn't help she looks like she does. If she looked like this... ...nobody would bat an eyelid. 😜

Must be great being the England 3rd keeper at the World Cup. Lovely all expenses paid trip abroad with the lads, get to watch some football matches and all you have to do is save a few i training. I could do that. 😝

Not keen on Madueke. Quick but he's no Saka.

Lucky boy Kane but you still go up on my twatometer for that stuttering run up. I hate that. Still relieved to have the advantage.

Caleta-car to come on and head the winner. 😬 Seriously though this is a tough start, a credible 1-1 draw.

On paper that Portugal team looks fantastic, easily potential winners. On the pitch the lack coherence and fight and have the same slow build up as Spain did. Plus they're managed by Martinez who was in charge of Belgium's wasted golden generation. Fair play to Congo though, they fought hard and a great header from Wissa. But now... we get down to business.

Um Bongo, Um Bongo they drink it in the Zaire... doesn't have the same ring.

I conked out ten minutes into the Norway game last night and woke up on the sofa with a half drunk beer and resentment that I'd missed two games I intended to watch. Let's see if i last for the England game...

Cracker of a game coming up at 8. I also hope to be awake for the Norway game and the Argentina game but I think I'll give Austria vs Jordan at 5am a miss.

New Zealand getting their Just desserts. OK it's 3 something AM in the morning, I'm not in full Pun mode.

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!
