I am as much a fan of an underdog story as the next person. But I'll be a bit annoyed if Argentina don't comfortably win this tbh. Have them in the sweepstake

Ooo Caoe Verde's players are doing a little swayey thing during the anthem

Quality shootout from Egypt, cool as you like. Enjoy your flight home Aus

Pretty odd decision to bring on Matt Ryan for the shootout. He's not looked anywhere near even diving the wrong way let alone saving one

Harry Souttar sends one in to orbit. Not just an Aussie but Scottish too.. shame

They really have to scrap extra time. Straight to pens. Nobody wants half an hour of tired timid players refusing to try and score

In all seriousness it’s very funny that Starmer will probably have to U-turn on keeping pubs open

Be funny if the government were like “no, you asked for the pubs to be open until 5am, so now everyone will have to go to the pub until 5am. Don’t ask for these things if you don’t want it”

Reports the England Mexico game is changing time, is kind of fun. I fly on Sunday, get to my destination at like 2/3pm UK time. It’s two hours ahead there so it would mean a 9pm kickoff.. result

Euch Wimbledon is such a bore

Kwan

This is a bit criminal, but the Australian national anthem is starting to grow on me a bit

Curran wants chance to replace Stokes in Test team www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricke... I really like his ambition, and his desire to get back into the Test side. Unfortunately though, he's not good enough with bat or ball really I suspect it's a shootout between him and Rehan, depending on the surface

Nice to have César Azpilicueta on punditry duty. An absolute legend.

Mark Chapman announcing Ipswich are in the World Cup instead of Egypt. Think someone needs a coffee #AUSEGY

See, Keir would already have U-turned by now

Come on Egypt (purely because they're playing Australia)

Just reading about the criticism of pubs being allowed to stay open for the England game. Honestly, are we not allowed any joy? It's one night where people will stay up and maybe get to work or school a bit late or tired. It's not a fundamental change to work culture or a long term problem.

Amazing from Metallica Metallica to help 1,000 London college students www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Just seen the Croatia disallowed goal. Really needed a “can you rock and roll that for me please”

People smuggler convicted in France found by BBC living in UK and seeking asylum www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Extraordinary reporting from the BBC, exposing just how much of a pushover the UK is now. How on earth can he just operate in plain sight like this

Had a much needed day off today, and was out for about 12 hours. Am one tired man.. grossly underestimated how hot and humid it was tbh

Central Line’s temperature today is next legal. It should not be legal to subject innocent people to this

I have been a #Metallica fan for a really long time. I've seen them a fair few times, and I'll always love their music. No band however should be charing £200+ for seated tickets in the top tier of a stadium. This is through resale on their website..

Belgium's manager Rudi Garcia has a bit of young Bryan Cranston about him

Seriously Belgium just go already. Nobody wants to watch Lukaku stand still in the penalty box

How is Lukaku still a professional footballer

I know France, Argentina are playing well in this World Cup, but it feels to me like something seismic might happen, like an African team - or a side which is never conventionally seen as having a chance of winning, going all the way. I don't think England will get near. Would love a different side

Belgium have got to be up there as one of the least likeable teams going

Come on Senegal!

Wimbledon is such a bore

🤣🤣🤣🤣

So England play at 1am on Monday then. I’ll be in Tel Aviv which is 2 hours ahead.. not entirely sure how to play that

Oasis’ Wonderwall being the song the players sing after every win is pretty shit

I really hate football Ngl

Fair play DRC.. quality stuff

arise sir Harry..

Why do they put us through the ringer like this? What a finish.. Kane.. oof

Maybe Rice is a secretly world class right back

Get Bellingham’s dad on the pitch I say

I’m almost at the point of supporting DRC to be honest

Rashford and Madueke shouldn’t be on the pitch

Can’t wait for Chelsea to buy half the DR Congo side for a lot more than they’re worth, especially the keeper..

It’s hard to know how Chelsea got as much as they did for Maudeke. Fair play tbh

Time to panic..

Bring on Trent, Palmer and Foden

Bring Southgate back

“..They’re coming home” 🎶

This story is almost as funny as the fact it's called the [Irish] Defence Forces... IDF www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2026...
