Croatia playing Perisic as left wing back has been quite the success given that absolutely everything England have done has come down that side. He’s having what is known in the trade as “a Tavernier”

Oh hold on. It’s a contest. Matterface now describing the big screen! It’s big apparently.

Gabriel Clarke there with the most inane bollocks I’ve ever heard during a live tv football broadcast. Tuchel has been stood up.

That was magic.

Definitely think England would be better off losing this game & aiming for 2nd in the group. Winning group means playing in Mexico City & Miami in later rounds. Hottest cities & no air conditioned stadiums. Think that’d be a big disadvantage.

Portugal are my picks to win the tournament. I love watching Joao Neves & Vitinha play. Both little geniuses.

Darren Cann

Irritating that commentators are making it all about Mbappe. Olise has changed this game.

Correct decision there. Just for the lols.

I just have a feeling France are due one of their shambolic world cups. Out early, full squad meltdown. So of course, they’ll probably win it now.

Brilliant. That was absolutely magic 🇨🇻

This has been the best game of the World Cup so far. Cmon Cape Verde! 🇨🇻

Yes! Go on Japan! 🇯🇵

Claiming that for Daizen 🇯🇵

Mon the Daizen 🇯🇵

Wow!

I think Germany are going to score about 8 in this game.

What’s the point of qualifying for a World Cup to then play such eye bleeding football? Scraping a win against Haiti is “historic” apparently, Liam McLeod has said so 3 times. Is it, aye? Dismal.

Disappointed that goal nets in Azteca aren’t about twice as big like they were in 86.

“But she actually missed the penalty!” How is anyone still finding that funny after 32 years? It wasn’t even that funny then!!

I’m sure it’s not them it’s me or whatever but, and I can’t fully explain it, I’ve only ever felt an intense disdain towards the “tartan army”. Just not my type of football fans and/or people.

I was sorry to read this yesterday. Worked with Brian for a short time nearly 30 years ago. Knew he was a musician but didn’t know his music & I didn’t know his art. He was just a really nice guy. There’s a lot to be said for that. Never crossed paths again but I always remembered him. RIP

Magic. Arsenal losing is never not enjoyable. And for one of their defenders to blow it. Perfect.

Wow! Hull City are in the premier league. Forgot about that match. I’ve come outside for a smoke & I can say Hull city centre is weirdly deserted. I think half the city are at Wembley.

In fact thinking about it, the only thing that could have made it better is if we’d got Paul McStay out of retirement, given him the captain’s armband & brought him on to score the goal that clinched the league title 🍀 #SomeThingsStillHurt

I can honestly say this last week has made the memory of 2005 a little easier to think about. Even though we won the cup it was just such a sucker punch to lose the league & then for Martin to leave. It really stung. Unimaginable that could ever be something he’d have the chance to put right 🍀

Whatever happens this summer I really want to see Shaun Maloney & Mark Fotheringham stay part of the club. They’ve undoubtedly played a big part alongside Martin 🍀

Smell The Glove 🧤🍀

Martin O’Neill. The messiah. Magnificent 🍀

Funniest Double ever. And all the people you’d want are absolutely raging 🍀

Cmon now. Saracchi & Osmand on. Get the band back together 🍀

Get Osmand on 🍀

We’re going to have to wake up & start playing in the opposition half. In danger of sleepwalking into this being an actual contest 🍀

My mate used to be happy enough playing FIFA with a low difficulty setting & just banging goals in. He’s not the most naturally competitive type. That’s a little bit like how watching this game feels. We’re comfortably playing in first gear 🍀

Lennon will be absolutely furious. Auchinleck Talbot gave us a tougher contest than this 🍀

Dunfermline look an awful lot like a team from the division below 🍀

Maeda has frustrated the life out of me at times. However every mishit shot or cross was forgotten when that bicycle kick went in a couple of weeks ago. I just hope he sees that some things are meant to be & these last few weeks are the payoff for not moving to Wolfsburg. He leaves a legend 🍀

Oh Daizen. Absolutely lovely 🍀

We’ve started a little too much in cruise mood. Bit too lackadaisical defending that long ball. But you can see it too where we’ve pulled out of challenges in middle of park that in the last few matches we’d have fully committed to 🍀

Mon the Hoops 🍀

That might be my highlight of this final already. My heart was bleeding for that wee lassie looking terrified. Then Martin smiled at her & spoke to her. Next shot she was beaming from ear to ear 🍀

Nothing hugely surprising. Would have loved to see Osmand get a start. And it’s slightly sad that I think there’s a fair chance Reo has already played his last game for us 🍀

It’s been a struggle at times but really, in the end, what a season it’s been 🍀 youtu.be/MAO4MfEUPm4?...

Really pleased with this. As the No.1 member of the Yang fan club I think he gets better & better. Plus there’s more to come. I quite fancy a forward line of Yang, Osmand & Jota when he gets fit 🍀

Good luck with that George. Let us know how you get on. Maybe could have started by writing to the current Hearts chairman. Just a thought.

There was a lot of talk in last few weeks of league season about Hearts lacking players that had the experience of winning titles. Seems to me that club could do with having a few people around who know how to lose a title too 🍀

Hearts remaining outraged & releasing more statements is really taking the shine off winning the title for me 😏🍀

I can’t think of another young player I’ve seen making his debut & almost instantly thought he’s definitely a player (maybe Liam Miller). But at the game against Falkirk I nudged my son after Osmand had been on the ball a couple of times & said just that. I think we’ve got a real star on our hands 🍀

Let’s be honest, not a single one of us didn’t shite it when we went to 3 at the back. Tactical masterstroke it turns out 🍀
