I expect to see 'Manchester: so much to answer for' crammed into every comment piece for the next few years.

I'm so excited for a commentator to say "no one wants to see these kinds of scenes on a football pitch" in the second half, while the exact scenes everyone wants to see on a football pitch are taking place.

As well as many great performances, Sam Neill also inspired one of the all timer YouTube clips youtu.be/-w-58hQ9dLk?...

Does French football coverage have the equivalent of Sam Matterface though?

I see you are exploring live TV and bundles as you struggle to keep viewers hooked. Have you tried...exploring live TV and bundles as you struggle to keep viewers hooked?

Huge fan of Duncan Ferguson not even trying to skirt around saying how boring this match is.

It may well have passed me by but I would be interested in a journalist looking into his constituency work and how much help he has given to those he represents.

A self-important, pompous, divisive, thin-skinned, can dish it out but can't take it, available to the highest bidder wastrel who has done nothing positive for the country he professes to love.

Not FIFA. Not my FIFA. Anybody but them.

Do Cocomelon next.

I won't bother with countless things if they are excessively fawned over on here/what was Twitter or The Guardian. (I was burned once with Catastrophe. Never again)

As Patsy Cline once sang, Senegal has fallen to:

Blade is the most cursed property of modern times. The simplest of concepts is seemingly impossible to adapt.

The beer was shit too.

Why shouldn't there be 64 teams in the World Cup? *points apathetically at the South Africa Vs Canada game*

It feels cruel to deliver such a piece of exquisitely constructed ragebait when it's so hot outside.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION IN THIS MATTER.

It's the second match of the group stage. It's completely in line with what England do. The usual pattern is squeak a win in the first game, turgid draw in the second, comprehensive win in the third. Perhaps Tuchel's managerial genius is flipping the order?

My issue with him is that he's absolutely no fun. Relentless from a pure stats perspective but watching him brings none of the joy that other greats had/have. He could score seven today and it wouldn't be as thrilling as M'Bappe was in last night's match.

Imagine liking Cristiano Ronaldo.

Chancellor: Forge Foreign: Storm Home: Cyclops Health: Beast Chief Sec to the PM: Emma Frost DESNZ: Bishop MCHLG: Multiple Man Justice: Cable DWP: Jean Grey Defense: Wolverine

I'll say this about Starmer: he never leaned into the "how do you do, fellow kids?" schtick that Burnham just screams.

It would also be hilarious because Ronaldo will be fuming and has no chance of beating this.

British Prime Ministers: the (re)Generation Game.

None of this would have happened if the general public didn't have unrealistic expectations, politicians didn't keep promising things without being honest about the trade offs, and implementing policies that piss off the people who vote for them.

You're not allowed to have an Italian plumber go down pipes anymore because of woke.

Happy Father’s Day to the king of Father’s Day posts

There should be more talk about what is still good about being online, rather than the usual misery. My contribution is the Daily Art app, which is a total joy. play.google.com/store/apps/d...

I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor, to prove he's down with the kids (who are now almost 40).

The Starmer news makes me think the country needs given a good talking to. Politicians and the media need to stop huffing drama. The public needs to realise that no political decisions come without a downside. And “legitimate concerns” need immediately called out for what they are, not indulged.

I would actually go as far to say that if you aren't travelling back in time via a Mackenzie Trench police box, American phone booth, or vehicle equipped with a flux capacitor, you are at best getting a children's version.

Tim Ream really missed a trick by not swapping the beard for an early 90s grunge goatee.

Sadly the USA are winning because the "they need an injection of pace/the fans can't bear any more of this/time for the raw milk hydration break" jokes are right there.

There's only one person (and a chalkboard) responsible for this:

This is an exquisite piece of Friday afternoon UK politics quote skeet bait.

The people who turned it off halfway through because it was dull as fuck.

Emma Hayes.

Emma Hayes is amazing. Absolutely incredible pundit, you learn something new about how football tactics work every time she opens her mouth and you know you'd be hungover for a fortnight if you went on a night out with her.

Sam Matterface makes you pine for Clive Tyldesley.

Never Let Me Go Down for a Crime I Didn't Commit.

I remember the Radio Ulster show Put Away Your Books, which was a quiz featuring primary school kids that I may or may not have appeared on. It was colloquially known as “the RUC quiz” as a bunch of kids being asked what is the capital of Sweden was clearly British Deep State propaganda.

"Copilot, how do you completely fuck over the games industry?"

While everyone is rightly rhapsodic about the Cape Verde keeper, I'd like to add that another great thing about football is irrational hatred of a team. In related news, Belgium is playing in a few minutes.

Emma Hayes is the best football pundit by far. The standard of her analysis is insane and you always come away having learned something when she speaks.

Today's social media ban announcement is like John Major banning Select for under 16s because they should be listening to safe bands like Starship instead of PJ Harvey.

This match is desperate so I'm just going to watch the Scottish fans guldering Flower of Scotland yet again youtube.com/shorts/a0ikP...

Between Alanis on Friday and Flower of Scotland this morning, the best thing about the World Cup so far has been the anthems.

I think the one thing we can all agree on is that refereeing experts are needless: "Are you prepared to criticise your former colleague's decision?" "....no."

Hoping to see some more David Luiz Vs Germany quality from this Brazilian team in the second half.

What I've learned from this World Cup: Good match = when Alanis sings the anthems. Bad match = when Alanis doesn't sing the anthems.
