The BBC radio news bulletins lead with Reform's defence of Farage's dodgy dealings. Not the dodginess itself. Is that a normal way to report things?

Long 11 minutes.

Back to bed, kids to school, then taking wife to London to see some Koreans. 11 minutes is eating into my sleep time! Another mark against Fifa 😂

Why was Mainoo picked on the squad?

STOP UNNECESSARILY HOOFING THE BALL CLEAR TO NOBODY

Fucking hell. That's a gamble.

The director is on one. Player gets a yellow for lord knows what and we get no second view.

Those run ups. Get gone. Absolute twattery.

I've petitioned Gianni about the Saka 'foul'. The award of Mexico's goal has now been suspended for 12 months. #FuckFIFA

Fuck Fifa. Fuck hydration breaks. Fuck Ronaldo's suspended ban. Fuck Messi's preferential treatment. Fuck Trump. Fuck the treatment of Iran. Fuck not allowing referees in to do their job. Fuck Fifa. FUCK FIFA.

So England against Mexico brought forward to primetime TV slot in Europe because of a storm. Not because of sponsors then?

I just picked up a fretless bass yesterday, so it went a little rockabilly.

Need to cheer myself up.. Time to go look at Crystal Palace reddit #nffc

Bellingham should have been off there, 2nd yellow. He's been disappointing today.

"why shouldn't he have a shot from there?" because it was miles out and we could have kept possession?

I shouldn't be like this. Feels a hollow victory after being so utterly toothless for most of the game.

Has Rice gone to right back?

Spence was actually one of the more effective performers... Take him off.

I don't know what the question is when Anthony Gordon, in the form he's shown, is the answer.

Puts a left footer on the right and wonders why he's cutting back. This is largely on the manager as much as underperformance from players.

Vitor's statement. #nffc

Pathetic from Kane, who has been a passenger. Tried to engineer a penalty.

Fucking take Madueke off. He's shot, deciding making gone, confidence zero.

England aren't just bad. They're terrible. Formation doesn't work, player selection questionable, losses of discipline, no confidence on the ball, static players. There's enough individual talent to get back in this, but it's underperformance at every level.

Please. Not more of the same. Statues in front of the ball, wingers checking back into traffic. As I type the difference it makes movement and taking an actual shot. DrC score.

Fuck it. I'm off to bed.

Dixon there. Amazed by a cross going to a player on the opposite side of the pitch to the crosser... I mean, really?

Are Dixon and 'What's tha'-Mattaface watching a different game?

When all you have in front of you is static players waiting for balls to feet... A tried and tested tactic from England.

If Anderson puts any more decent corners in I'll actually be a bit peeved.

Cruyff turn then a Bellingham flounce.

So far, very positive with only half the passes being backwards or aimless.

when AI companies go bankrupt

It was inevitable, wasn't it🙄 Of course the Telegraph would run with something like this👇 So let's remove some of the rose-tinted spectacles and also look at some of that data comparing 1976 with modern heat waves Because the 1976 nostalgia porn is wearing a bit thin at this stage 🧵1/23

Father's day present arrived... #nffc

The famous tactic 'cross it for the small guy'

How come Ghana are allowed to run? Why aren't England?

Rogers should have been on at half time.

No movement ahead of the ball. It's the England way.

Brought a cheerleader and a player not fit enough to start two group games.

I've just had a week of kidney stones passing... This is almost as bad.

Farage saying he's the most physically attacked MP in a decade, when two MPs have been killed, one by someone who almost certainly agreed with his inflammatory immigration rhetoric.

I missed the anthems in the Belgium vs Iran game (bathing youngest - already learnt to dead the approach of Monday, even though she loves school?!) wife said they cut to adverts instead of the Iranian. Assume to avoid showing the boing?

I've been informed that I qualified for a lovely father's day present but there was a delivery snafu...

Things I've learnt from that half. 1. US are good 2. Oz aren't. 3. US will get every decision whilst playing on home soil.

👏 Anderson shows the world 😧 Portugal's Ronaldo problem 😍 Early experiences of a USA World Cup @danielstorey85.bsky.social joins @mattdaviesff.bsky.social from Dallas to reflect on England's win over Croatia #nffc 🍎 Apple podcasts: tinyurl.com/46mmedtr 📱 YouTube: tinyurl.com/3za6nkyd

With this defence there's not a chance England go far in this tournament. Look like a bunch of strangers playing together. Set up to Counter, and that's it.

I now know what a Lush Life is. Car Karaoke from the kids. Roll on Monday..

"There's a two tier police system favouring ethnic minorities" scream the young white men doing nazi salutes at police officers faces (a literal criminal act) with no action taken.

How many of us feel in a cold rage today? Mine is directed at Farage & this comment on yesterday's Guardian piece by John Crace is spot on. The writer uses a pseudonym or I would credit them but, to whomever he or she is, I say bravo.
