Reminds me of this Makerfield gem. At least he’s honest!

Finally he’s failing downwards

Yeah, sure, Facebook is basically horrible and unusable these days and exclusively for elderly relatives posting AI slop. But every so often you get the gem of someone in a local community group posting that their two snakes have escaped and getting to enjoy the hundreds of comments.

"She's running for President while wearing an electronic tag" would be fairly spectacular levels of France.

Amazing contribution to the discourse. Fully applaud it.

The potential of Norway or Mexico being a semi-finalist is quite funny

The Croatian pensioners let me down, but now all my hope lies in the Belgium geriatrics

I am seeing too much pessimism from England fans about their chances tonight. This is not good because: 1) if they lose, no one is that upset 2) if they win, it’s so much worse I think it will be close! England are a much better team imo, it’s just if a hugely partisan crowd/altitude is enough

Concept: we take the ref from last night and have them referee *checks notes* THE MASSACRE OF NUREMBERG en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_...

Being forcibly sent to the VAR monitor really ruined that refs bet

This could be a glorious last 20 minutes of heads gone if we’re lucky

No need to stay up late tomorrow night because an old FM24 save has already predicted with 100% accuracy what happens

Best sport in the world; also often leads to feelings of misery!

Holy hell what a goal

I await yet another BBC Breaking News notification

Honestly thought that was a picture of Ross Greer, the Green MSP

It’s okay, Senegal might be awarded the win in two months time

England fans suddenly deciding that hydration breaks are wonderful things!

think it’s so funny how many different demographic breakdowns you can look at and the Lib Dems just get like 10-15% in all of them

The Azteca is going to be such a massive advantage for Mexico in the Round of 16, not sure how DR Congo will cope

Look, obviously it’s very nice if England somehow didn’t win tonight. BUT… I do think I want to watch them play Mexico at the Azteca. That crowd, that elevation 😍

You can disagree with the concept of unconditional jus soli as a policy but it’s quite something for so-called ‘originalists’ to just blatantly ignore the clear, unambiguous text and meaning of the Constitution!

I am stunned that the constitutional question was so close. I thought it would be 6–3 or 7–2. It is profoundly disturbing that four justices would allow either the president or Congress to rewrite the plain text of the 14th Amendment. This is obviously a good outcome, but the margin is alarming.

Very funny (not really!) that SCOTUS have just made up the fact that the Fed is different to every other agency purely because it would affect their own bank accounts

That’s certainly a unique way for Germany to avoid France in the Last 16!

Look, it’s both a fools game to predict at this point and it’s also not exactly hyping up an unknown entity, but if you asked me now? I’d fancy Ossoff to win the 2028 Dem nomination. Ambitious to be president, young, attractive, Jewish, history of winning in a red-purple state, Obama cadence.

No one is doing it like Kemi. What a mind.

I am cheering because we are saved from an extra half an hour!

me when I can’t read

Clarke did a great job in guiding Scotland to three international tournaments and giving fans something to cheer and a taste of success after years in the doldrums. But those three tournaments also led to nine subpar games where we never looked like a serious threat to anyone! Right call.

Who is the BBC coverage of the England game, just minutes before Portugal v Colombia, actually for? Literally everyone who wanted to know about it just watched it on ITV!

I don’t want to be too critical of the Scottish performance the other night and say we were almost unwatchable but my grandad died about an hour after the game.

The banker:

I clearly answered all the questions correctly

We might as well just chuck Craig Gordon on to make him the 2nd oldest WC player of all time!

Just a reminder there is still a slim chance to get embarrassed one more time in this tournament no matter this result

My humble advice is that when our defenders have the ball at their feet, they should boot it away up the pitch and don’t try and pass it

I’ll say this for the 3rd tournament in a row we’ve qualified for: I generally, sincerely, don’t mind going out at group stages. We’re not world beaters. But it’s the way we go out every single tournament that’s just painful. Not a single good performance!

We quite clearly don’t deserve to go through lol

oh my fucking GOD

Can someone do the maths on the possibility that we will draw tonight, go manic with fervour, then eight other 3rd place teams will inexplicably get to 4 points, and we will go out on GD for a 4th WC. It’s the peak Scottish way to go!

Even if Brazil annihilate us tonight and we end up with 3 point and -34 GD, THE DREAM IS STILL ON

An England free kick? WHAT?

The facade of Alexander "Greek" Thomson's Egyptian Halls has finally started emerging from behind the scaffolding after nearly 20 years. Follower Robert Leckie shared this cracking image, taken from the ScotRail bothy across the street. 📷 Robert Leckie #Glasgow

Our poaching king fights on!!!

Mental that this is the first time our future PM has ever set foot in London

Yes, Andy! Bag that delay repay!

Oh God. 17th July: Burnham becomes PM 19th July: England (God, please, no!) win the World Cup 20th July: Burnham announces he’s going to the country and calls election
