Incredible performance from England last night. Defence was shaky, though, and had Segecic been called up, Croatia would have won by about 50 goals, given he is the greatest player on the planet.

The defending here has been beyond woeful. Shambolic stuff.

I wrote some words for the good folk at DIY about the new La Sècuritè album. A fun one, for sure. diymag.com/review/album...

EOTR Stage splits AND England play in the World Cup today? What a glorious day for the most annoying person in the world (me).

As it's the World Cup and the greatest club in the world Portsmouth Football Club is still the greatest club, and video games are class, here's a number of ex-Pompey players who have graced the covers of videogames. (image 1 has Lee Sharpe, what a signing, eh?!). There might be more out there?

Review: La Sécurité - Bingo!: A breakneck full-length that remains mostly at a blisteringly relentless pace throughout its 10-track tirade.

We have a new one out today from the ever wonderful Frank Lloyd Wleft with the country-psych-garage banger, 'I Have Been In The Desert So Long' out on all your favourite and not-so favourite platforms. Let it be the soundtrack to your World Cup binge watching. linktr.ee/franklloydwl...

I'm gutted he's not returning to Pompey, but at least he's in blue, and alas, I now follow Gent.

I LOVE FOOTBALL

First 0-0 of the tournament but the single biggest result! Incredible stuff! Enjoyingthis World Cup on-field a lot.

This is indeed a class album. 11/10 recommend.

If this happens and the terraces aren't belting out 'Hey Yah' we as a club deserve a points deduction.

I will be spinning Oh Sees and King Gizz daily (as usual) in honour of such an occasion.

On field, this has been a great World Cup so far. Goals are happening. Shocks are happening. Love to see it.

Good to see Jackson Irvine AKA the coolest player on the planet on the field. mundialmag.com/products/kgl...

One of the best acts in the world, who released one of the best albums of last year, are back with one of the best albums of this year, and it's only 11 minutes long.

This is a real gnarly garage-rock banger. Like Jay Reatard meets King Tuff and Mikal Cronin. youtu.be/F7Ul-lh-x2c?...

Wycombe away is inevitable, so it's a good dress rehearsal for the League Cup first round.

That is an outrageous line-up. Maybe the best in human history?

This is absolutely horrifying. And it's coming to a street near you, courtesy of Nigel Farage, Rupert Lowe and Elon Musk.

A weird and wonderfully looking musical exploration game sounds very much up my street. Hyped for this. store.steampowered.com/app/3985990/...

Every World Cup predictor I do, England always end up the winner. It can't be a coincidence, right? It has to be an omen.

June is the last month in my lifetime that England won't be world champions. Absolutely mad.

YESSSSSSSSS!

To answer why Shania Twain would do the Shack. It's only the best venue in the world.

Fuming that Walkers prawn cocktail didn't get the call up for England.

The rock music show event is happening in Portsmouth tonight, and if you like to ROCK, this is for you. Gnarly psych-techno titans and one of the best live bands in the country play a rare hometown show. Support comes from the great Fast Trains and jazz-psych-art rock outfit Lugnut.

Two real nice albums out today. Baby Cool, through Bad Vibrations. Real lovely, whimsical psych-pop and folk via Australia. fuzzclub.bandcamp.com/album/infini...

Mr Blobby was genuinely my hero growing up. Put him on bank notes. Build statues of him. Name a bank holiday after him. Have him headline Glastonbury. Make him prime minster.

Genuinely bummed out that this local tradition has been broken. One of the more fun days in pre-season. Assuming that there's no chance of a home friendly, it's looking like quite a dull pre-season locally.

Portsmouth! We host LIPWORMS this Friday at Kola. DJs after.

Christian Burgess played in Munich this season, which is of course in Germany. Christian Burgess is also leaving USG on a free. Christian Burgess to Portsmouth confirmed then.

Hyped for this.

Christian Burgess is leaving USG. Pompey, spend every penny we have to get him back. Put us in eternal debt. Sell the city to whoever. Get him back.

I genuinely think this might be my most anticipated game of the year, even including THAT game.

Last time Arsenal were in the Champions League, the goalscorer packed his bags to leave for Pompey to win trophies. I can only assume Havertz will be doing the same now. I think he gets into the side as well.

PSG could really do with Colby Bishop here.

Away day to Copnor. Any pub suggestions for away fans, please let me know. www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/footba...

What a legend. youtu.be/Cx-BhTkZf8A?...

OK but the other site said John Mousinho was off to Bristol City. Who do I believe?
