Excellent - USA getting Trumps just desserts. Hope it ends up an even more emphatic win just to prove cheats don’t prosper.

I’ve reminded myself of my thoughts that JWP was a ‘luxury’ player for us in our latter days in the Prem - great for free kicks on goal, but not really utilised in a manner that allowed a quick transition of the ball forward and not a player that could put in a crunching tackle to break up opposition play. Don’t think I’ve changed my position on that, so I’m of a mind to say no thanks.

I agree - at times he looked almost lazy, but in a moment exploded into action. Wonder if Dan Burn could do a specific, strict man-marking job on him? He’s certainly got the stature.

Is JWP a ‘journeyman’ footballer - a resounding no. Despite his Pompey connections, he was the definition of a loyal professional for Saints - I met him while he did some of the community/charity work he involved himself with. Is JWP a player we need right now - quite possibly, depending on whether Charles moves on (likely). The only issue is whether he’s kept himself fit enough to deal with the Championship, but I suspect he has.

We need to match their intensity and keep a higher backline if possible - play too deep and we’ll lose this…our defence is not good enough.

Can I sleep for an hour and an half and wake up in time for KO? 🤔😵‍💫😴

With all the shenanigans going on - all the shithousery - all the cheating and you just wonder what hope England have got tonight in Mexico. Reckon FIFA will make sure Mexico have every advantage they possibly can have - the narrative will not allow an England win. Will it?

Blimey - Norway playing like…well Brazil. Oh btw - never a pen on Neymar.

Absolute pleasure to watch that game. CV can walk away with their heads held high and in the knowledge that there are few teams that could have come away with that result. CV’s no.13 LB and keeper (at 40) are great players.

Bugger - that’s it then. 🥲

Best match of the tournament so far. Love it!

Superb goal and it seems it’s saped all the spirit out of Argentina.

ET for Capo Verde - excellent!

Come on Capo Verde - get the winner!

Messi dives just outside the box surprise surprise and the Ref buys it - watch them score now.
