Dark Munster

Instant karma!

That would be fantastic. A massive upgrade. But who would be stupid enough to take the donkey?

I've said before this is the type of striker we should be looking for! Too injury-prone for the big boys, and he can alternate with Austin with one being on the pitch and the other on the treatment table.

Not me. Germany won it.

Wow. Brilliant match.

I wish England were in this half of the bracket so we could could lose to teams like this. Bloody Southgate playing the reserves.

I don't think we should take French fans views very seriously. Remember the Monaco ones were saying that Carrillo was crap. Oh ....

That's good in theory, but not practical. Teams playing on the last day of group matches (such as us) may have only a day rest before the knockout match if the draw is unfavourable. What they should do is have total shots on target the tie-breaker, instead of yellows, when everything else is the same.

They already lost it when they replaced Costa with Morata.

If Saints win a few games in a row next season I hope the U21's don't then lose and ruin our momentum.

I think you mean tot ziens.

True, I can't see Belgium scoring. And no-one is deliberately going to get a yellow and risk a ban (or at least get closer to one). At the end England may say sod this, we're going to finish top anyway, let's try to get a goal or two for Harry.

Another success for VAR.

That's the same type of logic as "there's no point in practising penalties because you can't recreate the pressure of a real shootout." An easier path to the final means you have a better chance of winning. Period. And that's true whether you're England or Brazil.

Two questions. Grateful for any answers. 1. Why is Steyn being "rested"? 2. Why do England Lions (i.e. B team) play at the same time as Division 1 matches?

If Japan wins group H (very possible) it would be insane to want to finish first and be on the left hand side.

....

Absolutely this. We've needed one for close to 2 years now, and the clown's donkey hasn't filled that void.

I think we should ditch all cars as well, because there are so many bad drivers out there.

God help us, Glasgow has discovered animated gifs.

I predict 0-0 with 22 yellow cards.

It promises to be a cracker. Two very good attacking sides, with both needing to win. I'm really looking forward to this one. Edit: Correction, Senegal only need a draw, but Colombia need a win. So still set up very nicely for a great match.

I for one won't be writing him off until he's played at least one game for us.

To put this in perspective, we bought the clown's donkey for close to £20 million.

VAR doing its job well again. Iran putting up a good fight though.
