One of the all-time great England performances.

Worth staying up for that!

Just need two things from this game: 1. No more lightning 2. No extra time

Some good punditry on the BBC here, to be fair

Just think, this time tomorrow we'll all be cursing a two hour delay to kick-off because of electrical storms.

A bad result for connoisseurs of footballing shenanigans.

Elite levels of shithousery from Paraguay, just a joy to watch.

Mo's pen might be my favourite moment of the tournament so far.

How bad must the other Australian keeper be at penalties to be taken off for a guy who telegraphed every dive.

I guess at least we can rely on Senegal for some #shenanigans

Jammy sods

I'm not the biggest Harry Kane fan, but I will say he is very, very good at a hitting a football really fucking hard.

AAGGGHHH, STOP CUTTING IN!

WINGERS - STOP CUTTING IN

This is such a lazy, unintelligent England performance. Every player capable of doing better, nobody on the pitch pushing them to do better.

DR Congo have worked out that you just let England play the ball out to the right and you'll get it back soon enough.

Southgate was a miracle worker.

If Kane doesn't dive so theatrically he gets the penalty there.

Unpopular opinion, I expect, but I'd stick on Jordan Henderson just to organise things, encourage some communication and offer a simple out when needed. No England player is taking control of the game.

Absolute clown car performance from England.

That's really poor from England. Spence in the wrong place, Pickford beaten at the near post. Rubbish.

Just imagine if tonight England are disciplined yet calm in defence, free-flowing yet decisive in attack. We wouldn't know what to do with ourselves.

Watched the two shoot-outs this morning and yet more evidence that you need to stop pissing about if you want to score your penalty.

“The dark horses have been bucked out of the saddle again”?!?! So the dark horses are themselves riding horses? Dreadful bit of commentary.

Senior Developer: I'm using AI to automate routine yet time-consuming tasks. There are many safeguards and points where humans check the system. Senior Management: I built a bot! It doesn't work properly and it has introduced several vulnerabilities to the company's tech stack!

I feel like I've spent my whole life watching England games like this one.

As lovely as this is, what an absolute scandal that it is even necessary.

I wonder if the folk banging on about how they coped in the 1976 heatwave are like that because they grew up around people who told them they had it easy because they hadn't had to live through the war.

Something like this in the UK would be good for the economy, generating lots of extra trips and money spent. However we don't think like this.

If I was the Scotland team I simply wouldn't fanny about on the ball.

"Everyone who loves football will be pleased he's scored this" Fuck right off

I feel like a truly progressive workplace wouldn't send a "Be careful in the heat!" email to all staff but would instead give everyone the week off and wire them money to spend on ice lollies etc.

It's notable that Labour figures have been briefed to begin their tributes to Starmer with a dig at The Corbyn Years. A sign that Labour HQ is still more preoccupied with kicking out at the left than actually improving the country. Internal politics is their obsession.

Nights are drawing in, eh?

Letting Messi make that kind of run unmarked...a bold move from Austria.

Danny Murphy...not the greatest analyst.

Amid the pub closures talk I don't think there is enough recognition that many places close simply because the brewery prices people out from running them...I've seen a few examples from just one brewery lately. It's not all about the smoking ban/kids don't drink/the economy (delete as appropriate)

That first Autumnal day is going to be magical.

Starmer's legacy is supporting genocide, attacking the LGBT community and restricting the right to protest. And he had the kind of majority to push through all kinds of positive change if he wanted. The true face of the Labour Right.

Starmer calling the Labour Party under Corbyn "morally bankrupt" is fucking rich.

Just had a lager top and it was tremendous. Forget radlers, this is what the craft beer boffins need to look at next.

Completely wild that this was a debut - one of the greatest ever singles. youtu.be/Hdii-nWkjaI?...

Those overnight games looked great. Sitting down with a coffee and the highlights is a great way to start the day.
