England's sélection is a mystery. Good players were left behind and others, who have played no or very little part in the competition so far, are part of the squad. Think Tuchel would have been ok with an 18 man group, the rest are just there to make up the number as far as he's concerned so if it's alpha or omega it makes no difference to him.

Dobbin, hope he's not the donkey of some book of my infancy.

Well, this isn't at all good. Home quarter final fading into the sunset.

Far too slow, Anderson is a waste of space. Get Rogers on.

Who knows what will happen tomorrow. Depends which version of our prolific run scorers turn up I suspect.Though without last night's tempting short boundaries perhaps they won't feel the need to have wild swipes.

Spain need those little errors to score because they struggle without them. If they had a real goalscorer ....

A mixture of big hitting and shite batting have us in some difficulty but with runs on the board. Some very short boundaries. Probably need well over 200.

And a rustic swipe from Vince gives Essex a free wicket.

Wasn't Mayes that let us down. The run rate was never good.

A hollow victory. India's bowling is sub standard and from their point of view this T20 séries must be a complete waste of time. They'll always be chasing 200 plus, slow bowlers like theirs are useless in English conditions, well for limited overs anyway.

If Argentina want to have any sort of chance Scaloni needs to step up and hook the old bloke. 5 games in 3 weeks or so is obviously too much for him.

And yet Norway were by far the superior side.

Former Argentina maybe, this one is old and slow.

Why upset? Argentina like Brazil are an ageing side. They've not been great so far in the tournament. So far 5 european sides and 1 North African side in the last 8. Football has re-centered on Europe. We should have 2 world cups out of every 3.

Missed it...again. Think that's 3 misses out of 5

A half of good saves and wasted chances.

Been watching the rediffusion, England need to find a way to defend better

Brazil is an ageing circus. Ancelotti isn't what they need.

He was not the architect of their victory yesterday. The left winger and Halaand are the main dangers.

We shall see, think we have the easier hypothetical path to the final. Norway won't trouble us overmuch, Argentina look like the old side that they are. On the other side there are still France, Morroco and Spain.

Norway's best player last night plays wide left.Hope we can sort out our RB problems before next saturday.

It means that if he gets another red card in a FIFA competition in the next 12 months this ban is reactivated. Same as with any suspended sentence for whatever.

Well when you want to have 48 teams you either have to have 16 qualifiers or 32 unless you want to go into a strange sort of system similar to One Day Cup qualifying. You could have 16 groups of 3 I suppose but then you have to have odd match days.

Oh no it hasn't.....

Good game today.
