The BBC have really dropped the ball here by having no build up for the next game It’s hard enough staying up for the late fixtures but no transition between coverage is poor and will lose viewers

Can we have more Wyclef Jean on the ITV set please? A fantastic presence 😌

What did I say? His presence alone is enough to make the difference

Fantastic stat this

Salah v De Bruyne is always going to be a match up for the ages 😌

CABO VERDE WINS 0-0. WINNING (NON) GOAL BY MAN OF THE MATCH VOZINHA

Would probably have Semra Hunter presenting as she knows a lot about Spanish football Other than that I think this is one of the best punditry line ups ever tbf

Have enjoyed this game so far, Cape Verde have been super organised to limit Spain’s attacking threat

www.maptap.gg June 15 100🎯 100🎯 98🎯 96🔥 97🔥 Final score: 975 Not bad for a first go 😎

I don’t think Tim Vickery has moved from his desk in days!

This Netherlands kit is almost florescent on the wide angle camera and it contrasts so heavily with the green of the pitch 😵‍💫

Rio Wellard just wants his shirt back (and his Maroon 5 CD)

It’s genuinely horrendous how people just doing their job are treated because of one daft c*nt’s egotistical rampage

If you're just catching up to Curacao's amazing (and ongoing) story, might I recommend this feature from @tom-hindle.bsky.social (Also shout out to Tom's goal.com bosses for sending him to freaking Curacao to best tell the tale. Just no substitute for being there.) www.goal.com/en-om/lists/...

CURAÇAO !!!!

I’m happy they have Emma Hayes on as pundit but what the fuck are they putting in all these drawers on the ITV set?!

Raducanu played so well in that second set! Had a couple of chances to level up after a terrible first and pushed Vekic to the very end She made a final again and should take huge confidence from this week 🎾

Ferrari’s strategy usually sabotages the team but my word they couldn’t have timed that pit for Hamilton any better

Route one football, let’s go! 😎

The Haitian goalie is built like a brick shithouse

Okay so a great time for everyone to go to sleep for a few hours and wake up for the big one 🇦🇺 v 🇹🇷

This game really feels like a knockout tie but Brazil have lined up a really uninspired squad imo - could be an interesting midfield battle

Holding his own microphone, wearing Apple earphones from like 10 years ago - beautiful scenes

The idea of having massive flags which take up each half of the pitch when the teams come out really doesn’t work in this fixture! Both Qatar and Switzerland have dimensionally weird flags 😌

Emma that was an outrageous performance! Those serves were monstrous ☄️

I was told I was manager AND captain of a football team at the last moment and it was fun but hell!

Catching up on the USA v Paraguay match and quite surprised at the difference between the teams! There’s quality in both squads but Paraguay are hardly getting a touch of the ball in the first half

Catching up on the second opening ceremony as the BBC couldn’t be bothered to show it and it’s actually quite decent! A lovely mix of indigenous culture and modernity 😌

This BBC coverage is so weird! Firstly their chairs have disappeared in the second half, now Darren Cann has just randomly spawned in the studio? Salford really is a strange place at times

I’ve heard a couple of references to this game being compared to League One/Two and honestly it really does feel like it! The angle of the camera being quite low, the hoofed clearances, terrible shots it’s beautiful 😍

It only gets jarring because it’s specifically made for ads! A hydration break in Europe would be a minute and not require filler in the form of music for those in the stadium

Seems skeets and replies are taking around 6-7 minutes to publish and show up on the feed 🤔

We’re back! Second game of the tournament in the dead of night 🦉

So perplexed why ITV got Laura Woods and co to come on set four hours early to preview the next game for a minute 😅

If only this was true but there’s pretty much always football happening somewhere in the world 😌

So are we all going to bed for 4/5 hours now or?

No more Sithole 😔

Bluesky group chats have just arrived in time for the World Cup - so why isn’t there one yet?

Happy no sleep month to all that celebrate 😌

The more I thought about it, the Bad Bunny halftime show earlier this year was iconic because it was different I am getting similar thoughts about this World Cup opening ceremony, love the fact different cultures can take centre stage at some of the biggest events 🌎

I'm sorry what? Fucking fund mental health resources, you're the literal government. This is dumb.

Thank you ‘murica for giving us a last minute trial run with the delayed kick off tonight 😌

Beth Mead and Niamh Charles announcing they’ve agreed terms to come to City today! 🤩 Huge players for our WSL rivals to lose and more Lionesses to watch every week 🥳

Lovely evening by the Mersey watching England v Ukraine in a Women’s World Cup Qualifier final group game⚽️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Barnsley player scoring against the best team in the world is insane

I think this is possibly the most exciting signing in women’s football ever! A multiple Ballon D’Or winner playing in Bromley is honestly so insane 🤯

I don’t think it’s possible to Monday more than it is doing today 🫩

Tempted to ask at the check-in desk how much extra it would cost to bring the good weather back with me 🤔

Saturdaying going well ☀️

The two European heavyweights battle it out again! It’s Spain v England in a Women’s World Cup Qualifier match ⚽️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
