This #ARGCPV game is proving ideal practice for staying up for the England game in the early hours of Monday.

Sky Sports previewing the #MEXENG game by dressing up a reporter as a Mexican is, er, a tad interesting … #worldcup

Great to have the legendary #AiWeiwei back in Manchester for his latest stunning exhibition.

Someone needs to start a campaign to end those awful performative videos of fanzones with people chucking beers in the air. #worldcup

What we all need now is a bit of Doku and de Bruyne after that England match. #BELSEN

Noticeable how much better the ITV analysis is of the England game than the BBC. #ENGDRC

Football at 1am on a Monday morning? No big deal. Decades of watching overnight Test cricket on TV has prepared me for this. #ENGMEX #WorldCup

Already preparing for life without Anthony Barry popping up at half time. #ENGDRC #WorldCup

Let’s face it. None of us fancied staying up for that 1am game on Monday against Mexico anyway. #ENGDRC #WorldCup

Never mind the score. Why have they parked a ship next to the pitch? #ENGDRC #WorldCup

This sudden interest for everyone to finish work early to get home for 5pm for a random midweek T20 International is baffling. #EngvInd #worldcup

Brits in #Wimbledon clearly taking inspiration from their cricket colleagues. #EngvNZ

I’ve only just got over Pep leaving and now this. #Stokes

This is the new talking point from Reform supporters over on X. In other news, Nigel Farage has yet to hold a single in-person MP surgery in his constituency in the almost two years since he was elected

England clearly taking inspiration from their cricket colleagues. #PANENG #EngvNZ #WorldCup

Fair play to England in going for second place in this group. Avoids us all having to stay up for that potential Monday 1am kick off if they top the group. #PANENG #WorldCup

Worried that these hydration breaks are subconsciously tuning me into wanting a pee 23 minutes into the first home league game of the season. #WorldCup

Lee Dixon on form i.e. doing his best to suck the life out of this game. #PANENG #WorldCup

Switches on ITV build up to the match. Sees Ant and Dec offering their thoughts. Switches off. Decides I’ll just wait for kick off … #ENGPAN #WorldCup

222/2. Joy. #EngvNZ

Think I’ve found a place to live in about 20 years. #EngvNZ

Happy 5th Year Anniversary of Matt Hancock resigning.

Don’t think I’ve ever been tempted to leave a Test with almost 50 overs to go but this might be it. #EngvNZ

Ashes 1993 vibes this. #EngvNZ

Overheard whilst at Trent Bridge in this morning. Man mocking someone because “it’s much too early to be eating a samosa”, as he sips on a pint of lager at 10:30am. #EngvNZ

Thought the commentator there would not stop saying “90 minutes from …” for the whole 90 minutes. #ScoBra

Badenoch trying to pretend she’s relevant to anything is quite gruesome to watch. #PMQs

Namecheck for @countbinface.bsky.social in #PMQs. Excellent.

Always excellent news when new PJ Harvey music gets announced.

This is such a beautifully made documentary. What an amazing lovely man.

Starmer resigns and England are pants again. Everyone happy now?

Americans can count themselves lucky they get adverts during the hydration breaks. We get Rooney. #WorldCup

TV producer must be gutted they couldn’t feature the usual pointless footage of some fans in a pub chucking beer in the air after a goal. #EngGha #worldcup

That’s the painful England watch we are all used to. #EngGha #WorldCup

Gordon been taken off as he has a Princess Diana lookalike competition to get to. #ENGGHA #WorldCup

Great to see Mike D from the Beastie Boys managing Ghana today. #EngGha #WorldCup

To those who say “this is not the Brexit I voted for”, you voted for an impossible fantasy, sold to you by grifting gobshites with no interest in reality or what was actually possible. You got exactly what you voted for.

Great piece on Semenyo on the BBC coverage. #EngGha #WorldCup

I miss the glory days when Henry Crocombe was in the squad. #EngvNZ

Farage: I can spend my £5m on Ferraris if I want it's none of your business. Reform voters: He's one of us.

World Cup final July 18. That’s Burnham’s ticket sorted then if England make it.

Weird how today only happened cos Makerfield correctly chose not to elect a fascist plumber.

Man who cut a cake to mark 10 years of my local tram stop extension now favourite to become next PM. #Burnham #Starmer #Didsbury

Your turn now Rob Key. #EngvNZ #Starmer

Got to feel sorry for #BBCLauraK as they couldn’t find a Reform representative to join her tomorrow for some reason.

Wouldn’t it nice if England could just shut up shop and bat for 2 days to save the Test like the old days. #EngvNZ

County cricket in Chesterfield. Lovely setting. Unfortunately it involves watching Lancashire …

Part of me thinks it would have actually been quite funny watching Kenyon try to formulate a coherent question at PMQs.

Win win for #Makerfield - the facsist candidate loses badly and also suddenly loads of available boiler service appointment bookings open up.

The downside of winning the group is we’ve now got a potential 1am Monday game to contend with in the knockout stages. #ENGCRO #WorldCup
