I certainly can fault Paraguay's attitude, Alan.

Paraguay's main tactic of going down every time a German comes within three feet of them has finally paid off.

Woltemade. He Who Must Not Be Named (in the Starting Line-up).

Does Woltemade know the Berlin Wall has fallen?

Germany should bring Sane on.

Almiron has an unnerving face, looks like a ventriloquist's dummy in a 1940s cartoon. #GERPAR

Just what the game didn't need.

Paraguay are a shower of shithouses, aren't they.

12 years? There was one about two hours ago.

Scotland must have lulled Brazil into a false sense of security.

Oh god, people weighing in on what constitutes the North. This will be worse than bread roll discourse.

Shortly after this as I went to leave I spotted some smoke and went to investigate. Ended up calling the Fire Brigade for the first time in my life as some ne'er-do-wells had lit a fire in among some trees in the stadium car park, but buggered off when I shouted at them.

Evening. Wish I'd put a jumper on. Brrr.

Just heard this exchange outside the house. "Don't sell your fanny again." "What?" "DON'T. SELL. YOUR. FANNY. AGAIN. Like you said you would."

"As it stands England will play Portugal" It's Sophie's Choice all over again.

Dixon, dicks off.

It'll be nice when it's finally confirmed that Scotland are out and the fans can get on with the main business of praying that England don't win.

Imagine how much better American air conditioning would be if they didn't have such a feeble mains voltage.

Even the guy in Psycho is banging on about bloody air conditioning.

Missus has gone to swim with puffins off Flamborough Head, so I've ordered myself a pizza and put my feet up. I'll take the dogs out when the temp goes below 30C.

#FallFriday Playing this mainly for the very apt B-side.

Just nicked one of the minimilk lollies we got for the grandchildren. My need is greater than theirs, and they are none the wiser.

It's pissing down at the moment, but I'm enjoying the storm before the calm.

It's a very pleasant 19C with a lovely breeze in Hull tonight.

Can't believe I - a person who volunteers for nothing and cannot be arsed pushing to better myself - have not even been nominated for one of these staff awards.

In the actual office today for the first time in six months. I enjoyed the swearing at other drivers on the way in, and the air conditioning is welcome. Other than that..

British football commentators are the only people who've mentioned the Keystone Cops in the past 60 years.

It promotes early morning what?! Oh, right, I misread that.

One more goal and he'll be level with Müller. Thomas Müller.

Keeper was obviously expecting Ronaldo to smack it into the wall like usual, can't blame him too much.

Portugal are like the Nazis but without the redeeming features.

No they won't, Lee.

It's not even that hot here.

Man, seems like today will never end.

Emma Hayes putting a strong bid on for cringiest thing I've ever seen on TV.

As it's Father's Day, here's a picture of my dad on strike in French.

Ida striking a pose.

Missus just came in from hanging out the washing. "Guess what I found in your shorts pocket."

Brobbey, Brobbey, Brobbey!
