I like The Diamond League athletics format in general but less so the kit. Rather than run for Adidas or Nike I would rather see Bristol AC or Wolverhampton and Bilston vests.

Still seeing the "mercury rising" phrase in news stories despite mercury thermometers being banned in the UK for 17 years. How about "temperature rising" or "getting hotter"?

David Beckham has gone from national treasure to oh just fuck off you prick.

Great goal by Luke Littler.

Good to see His Royal Cuntiness John of Terrible Racism àt the England game.

VAR mansplaining sent tae fuck

Why is Rivaldo ever allowed near a World Cup game again? The most blatant cheat since handbell Maradona and at least he redeemed himself with the next goal. Rivaldo is an utter disgrace who doesn't know his face from his knee.

Good to see Huggy Bear starting tonight.

Young lad has tickets for Canada v Switzerland but too busy being irritated by his younger sister waving a tiny flag that caught him a couple of times. A trainee Rivaldo.

Where's Paul Scholes when you need him?

What did the sexually transmitted disease say to the England football team? I'm a Ghana 'ere.

Good to see FIFA have a designated cunt section for John Terry and Trumparselicker Infantino.

Hic Ralph!!! #AlamShearerPaceDrinkingGame

It's always The Queen to me

Alan Shearer getting a couple of "paces" in before kick off.

Obviously Reece James should play for Wales but for me he is the heart and soul of England's team.

As Trump is attending The World Cup final hoping for extra time, a long weather break and penalties. He will be sleeping like the baby he is by the end of the game. Iran to win maybe too much to ask for!

Partey on dude.

19 years ago Africa Express on the Glastonbury Park Stage

Thoughts and prayers Cristiano.

Even if Messi hadn't had his shit saved it looked like it would have hit the post. Not the Messiah.

Trump on the phone to Infantino giving Ngoy a pardon.

A reminder to the ITV commentators youtube.com/shorts/wvTQg... Though Cruyff suffered similar indignities even if Dirk Kuyt managed to somehow get his name respected.

FIFA to rename The FIFA Peace Prize to The FIFA Preventing Peace Prize so they can give it to Trump again.

The rain in Saudi Arabia falls mainly on their football team.

Don't get involved in an Alan Shearer said "pace" drinking game, it won't be good for you.

Portugal coaching staff need to preemptively remove Ronaldo's toys from his pram prior to his substitution.

Adidas advert at The World Cup says "you got this" but doesn't specify what I have got. Hopefully not herpes or senile dementia.

Congress reportedly attempting to remove Hegseth's travel budget. I'm sure he will find workarounds.

Bad timing for pubs in Oxford. They are closing to avoid trouble with Yaxley-Lennon worshippers on the day England start their World Cup campaign. Maybe Farage could compensate them from his security allowance?

The BBC iPlayer UHD feed is a thing of beauty. Sky's UHD football feed has been borked for months with no fix in sight after 2,303 reports to the Sky Community.

I had a friend who worked in the X-Ray department at Bristol Royal Infirmary. She told me of the weird and wonderful variety of things people got stuck in their orifices. On a related note good to see Upamecano is playing tonight.

The choice of referee for England v Croatia is down to the final two. Hopefully for England it will be a warming hotpot rather than highway robbery.

Yet again the US west coast game has a noon kick off, minimal shadows on the pitch and it is 30C already. Infantino is Incomptentino.

Olivier Girouds face turning into a palindrome.

I tend to be a BBC man at World Cups particularly for the lack of adverts but ITV winning for now with Ange Postecoglou and Adam Richman. The latter reminds us that most USA people are great, just the MAGA bunch who bring cuntiness to an unprecedented level.

The TV networks that can't hack 45 minutes of football without a manufactured hydration break must find F1 impossible even if Sky have no trouble bending the knee.

What is it with Germans and bumenfluffe moustaches?

Are FIFA investigating King Charles and King Willem-Alexander both having a controlling interest in two World Cup teams? Iran also have the USA by the short and curlies.

His own mom warned us he’s a liar

I assume the water will drain out of the cage.

Shearer you bellend it is speed not pace.

I don't get why Qatar v Granit is a midday kick off in San Francisco yet Haiti v Scotland is 9pm in Boston. Make the Boston game 4pm and the San Francisco game 6-7pm and show the players and their health some respect.

So it's The World Cup for men contested by national teams. Glad we can somehow understand in these islands without SMNT and EMNT.

Bosnia Herzegovina doing an Arsenal.

Is there a watch party today at The Kennedy Center? Nellie The Elephant should pack the Trump signage.

Late 80s I was office manager at a stockbroker. One morning a hungover chairman asked me to write a cheque for £37,000 to cover the VAT which we could reclaim on a David Hockney photo collage he had paid for himself. Absolute bullshit and when we ran out of money I got £192 redundancy pay.

Phil Mickelson apparently too keen to get in the hole.

Quinones has cojones.

At least Sithole is lacking a consonant of that's any consolation.
