I thought VAR would review that Belgian sending off as clearly the Iranian lad made more out of that then was from a minimal tug of the shirt

Good effort Iran

Sort of mind-boggling how complicated recovering from the Bedford train crash is – before they can get the trains out, they need to construct a temporary concrete road so they can drive in a massive crane.

So much for the investment into the Saudi Pro league

It's sheikh rattle or roll for the Spaniards if they don't get a result against the Saudis

Scotch should have had a pen. How VAR tits didn't see it given play went on for a couple mins or more before the ball was dead needs answering by the Italain bald head chief of Refs!

Don't get the tactics from Clarke. Bringing on Dykes and playing the same system. They need a goal and Shankland is the best finisher

Rocco look like they are going to score every time they go forward

Lovely technique by the ref in brandishing three yellow cards near simultaneously

Aussie coach looks a right drongo with that black shirt and tie get up. What a flaming galah

Aussies have hardly got out of their own half. Odd decision to rest the two lads who scored in the previous game

"Tell Jabba I'll get him his money..."

Qatar have been awful. Spare us the Qatar

Can't pick many Holes in the Swiss performance in the last 15 mins. They are on a Roll

I think you’ll find it’s a fascinating tactical battle

I see the wind has kaboshed ITV's plan to return to their expensive but not wind proof set at half time

This game is another World Cup dud

NEW: The attorney general, Richard Hermer, has told his office to no longer post on X, making it the first UK government department to stop using the Elon Musk-owned platform amid increasing worries about its use to incite violence and racism. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Looks a bit windy on the old ItV set. They all look uncomfortable!

Czech mate South Africa!

What's wrong with people

South Africa are woeful

This game is dull. I haven't got much hope its going to get any better

‘Most famous tree in the world’: Sherwood Forest’s 1,000-year-old Major oak dies

The spell after half time from England looks like the name of the game in this tournament. No team is going to keep intensity up for too long, so pick your moments to up it for 5 or 10 mins. Kane alluded to it in his post match interview with ITV, France did similar.

Bout time you turned up Jude, instead of falling over

Totally switched off for their second!

Bellingham needs to stop fannying about and falling to the ground at the slightest touch. Their goal comes from that.

fifa have no morals so of course they've invited Terry into the VIP seats

Hope that Hawkstone beer goes tits up

Is this the first European on European action of this tournament!

Absolute scenes at the fan park in Lisbon when they equalised

Hello BBC. I can give you a start as to where to save money.

Giroud appears to live in that BBC studio in Salford. How the BBC cannot see how dull he is when everyone one else can see it

BBC to axe Radio 4’s The World Tonight after more than 50 years

Blues playing Barcelona in a pre season friendly at St Andrews. Fair play but charging £35 to watch Barcelona train is scandalous. That said I'm sure many will lap it up

@ohfattony.bsky.social a load of nonsense and drivel more like!

Norwegians have clearly nicked the Icelandic Clap

Heggem has had a dodgy start

Good save by Mendy. Thought he was mad for rushing out like that but made a bold decision

Beeb have got to hook Giroud off the coverage. He's turning people off!

This pitch looks terrible

Senegal probably the best African team at this tournament! I think they'll perform well against the French

No 5pm World Cup game today. What's going on!

Of course he is.

jesus christ NO! NO!!! FUCK

Belgian midfield haven't got going. You might as well have a couple of Smurfs playing in there

Some naughty fouls here
