Sam Burns tells me that at no point in his round today (even when he walked off 18) did he realise that 62 was equalling a men’s majors record.

Pierceson Coody’s grandfather Charles Coody won the 1971 Masters and then finished T5 here at Royal Birkdale that summer.

Just interviewed Mateo Pulcini, the only Argentinean player in the Open Championship field. He celebrated a birdie on 18 with a big grin and the Enzo Fernandez goal celebration. All a bit of fun. Said his caddy encouraged him to do it. Great moment.

Tuchel’s bizarre changes were like he was leading a L2 side who’d grabbed a 1-nil lead away at a Premier League giant in the FA Cup.

I imagine several England players will either privately (or publicly, let’s see) be fuming with Thomas Tuchel.

Truly incredible match. No doubt. I shouldn’t get this angry about VAR, hydration breaks and music after goals but I do. Those things dampen the enjoyment for me, even of a sensational game like that. Three Lions blasting over PA seconds after final whistle? It’s just so unnecessary & inappropriate.

Please don’t call this a ‘low block’ from England. It’s desperate, chaotic, brilliant defending.

Watching in the USA and I’m (pleasantly) surprised at how international/cosmopolitan the Fox coverage of the World Cup is.

The altitude seems to be really affecting the Mexico players.

I’m in a sports bar near Washington DC and it is heaving with Brazil fans. They’ve just gone nuts for Neymar coming on. DJ in bar plays music during the hydration breaks.

In Rockville, Maryland for the 5th US Adaptive Open. Reports and interviews on Golf Channel, with live coverage of final round on Wednesday.

⛳ The 2026 U.S. Adaptive Open is coming to Montgomery County July 3–8 at Woodmont Country Club! Watch some of the world’s top adaptive golfers compete in this national championship event. Admission is FREE and open to the public. #USAdaptiveOpen https://championships.usga.org/usadaptiveopen.html

Bon Jovi's Livin' on a Prayer being played at the hydration break. Technically though they're three quarters of the way there.

Not really a fan of ‘Comm Cam’ but the video of Ian Dennis commentating on the Cape Verde goal is just joyous.

Seventeen‑year‑old Chloe from Newbury has cerebral palsy, and she is taking on one of the toughest cycling routes in the UK, from Land’s End to John o’ Groats. If you would like to support Chloe’s fundraising, you can do so here: buff.ly/A7DOggd Wishing Chloe and her family the very best.

How can we stop people shouting ‘Wu’ at the tennis & snooker, ‘Luke’ or ‘Kuch’ at the golf, ‘Jude’ at the football? It’s unbearable.

Brazil playing in white shorts shouldn’t be allowed. There’s simply no need for the blue shorts not to be used tonight.

Massively envious of everyone who’s attended World Cup matches in Vancouver. One of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been.

Profiteroles should always be filled with cream. Never with ice cream.

You don’t have to stop play and award a foul every time contact is made between two footballers.

How many more seats could this Foxborough stadium have if it didn’t have TV screens that can be seen from space?

BBC Sport should have used the backdrop from Frasier’s apartment for this match.

How can any channel, even a sports news channel, justify giving the release of the Premier League fixtures more than about 5mins of coverage?

Quite indicative that these pundits who were stars in the 90s all (wrongly) assumed Thomas Tuchel must have been raging/shouting/throwing teacups around at HT, when actually it appears he gave his team very calm, intelligent, supportive advice.

Emma Hayes, please use your chalkboard to tell me what I'm doing wrong with my life

Just occasionally I think I might accept hydration breaks if in return we could lose music after goals.

For a thing I’m doing next week…are there any visibly disabled people involved on-camera/on-air in the broadcast of this World Cup, anywhere in the world?

I really want a CD player back in my car.

How long before a team formally protests on the pitch about the ‘hydration breaks’?

Watching with sound down so commentators have probably mentioned this, but the Japanese goalkeeper Zion Suzuki was born in Newark, New Jersey to a Ghanaian father and a Japanese mother. Plays his club football for Parma in Italy. What a life story!

Why oh why oh why oh why does the match clock not stop for these damned hydration breaks??

I’m getting sunburnt just looking at those grandstands at Queens.

The Brooklyn studio is impressive, that’s for sure. But you do have to put up with the Google Gemini break bumpers that paid for it.

Difficult to get too excited by a World Cup beset by so much scandal/upset already, but hopefully the football can be as memorable as ever. Tough to see past France, Spain or Brazil. England only need a few things to fall their way to have a genuine chance. But wouldn’t a surprise winner be nice?

The new Newcastle shirt is an abomination.

Every time Michael Olise takes another step towards superstardom, I consider myself lucky to have witnessed his goal for Crystal Palace away at Luton in 2023. And him being replaced by Garath McCleary during a Reading match in 2020.

Sad to see Marco Silva leave. Did a few press conferences and post-match interviews with him in his time at Fulham and he was always passionate, honest, decent.

Please go back to using the main match camera for penalty shootouts.

I’ve just had a packet of salt & vinegar peanuts from Aldi that had so much salt & vinegar on them that I’m convinced there was a mistake in production.

So what’s the deal with the 26/27 Liverpool kit? Are matching shorts and socks on their way?

This headline nails it. Quite rightly, Tuchel is making his own decisions and doesn’t really care what anybody else thinks, especially the hot takes on social media. He’s a leader and is leading.

Calm down folks, it’s just a squad selection.

Yet there you are, outside.

I've noticed how much I’ve aged in the past 5 years and I am really hoping that adding chia seeds to my yogurt can turn this whole thing around.

Such a shame that Mo Salah is leaving Liverpool as a divisive figure.

Visit Valencia. It’s a fantastic place.

Please stop shouting ‘Wu’.

It is physically impossible to commentate on Mark Allen without saying his full name every time you refer to him. #WorldSnooker

@adamcrafton.bsky.social your parents stole the show tonight!
