I think we can all agree that it is about time Argentina’s luck ran out.

Congratulation Spain. Au revoir Les Bleus.

Can you ever remember a World Cup Semifinal that was not sold out? Unbelievable.

Today I started a new blog looking at my first ROG love: B/X D&D. mystic-mog.bearblog.dev/the-tao-of-bx/ #BX #BasicExpert #D&D #TTRPG

I like my dice like I like my coffee: Coffee flavored. #BoringDice #Grongnard #HowIRoll

Hang on… The Clockboyz just woke up! Come on Switzerland!!!!!!!!!! 1-1 #ARGSUI #WC26

Good Lord, Switzerland! That tiny Argentinian would be denied access most of the rides at Disneyland! How do you let that guy out jump you?? #WakeUpSwitzerland #AnyoneButArgentina #WC26

Take that, Viking scum!!! That’s for 700 years of pillage and unsportsmanlike behavior! 😘 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 #ENGNOR #WC26

Get. In. Jude. #England #WC26

So Kane puts the ball in the net. The flag goes up, and the Ref IMMEDIATELY blows for the half. Is VAR not supposed to check EVERY goal event? No check? On the screen Kane’s ARM is clearly nearer the goal but is to NOT clear if his HEAD or FOOT are! VAR is utter shit. #FuckFIFA #VARisShit #WC26

Let’s go, chaps. #England #NORENG #ENGNOR #WC26

On this day in 2002, AFC Wimbledon took to the field for our first match since fans took on ownership of our football club 💛💙 Few could've imagined the journey that we'd go on. Five promotions in nine years. A Football League return. Home to Plough Lane. We never give up 💪

2 hours until.. Module B2 - The Keep on the Borderlands!!! Time for a performance-enhancing cider before the players arrive. Blake’s Hard Cider Co, Big Jam (8%). Lubbly jubbly. Bring on the East Missouri Artifact Reclamation Taskforce (EMART) #OldSchool #OSR #OSE #BasicExpert

With respect to my US friends: #USMNT had the chance to do the right thing - refuse to play Balogun. They lacked the morals to do so and chose to capitalize from blatant corruption. You can’t only do right when it’s convenient. No one is sad for you. No one will miss you. 👋👋👋 #WeKnow #USABEL

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wooohooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!! #USABEL

Mexico 2-3 England Best World Cup game in decades. Amazing England performance. Hopefully this shuts some of the moaners up for a week or two. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 #WC26 #MEXENG #LionHeart

Ok, England. This is now a 30-minute war. Let’s do this. #MEXENG #WC26

This ref is not up to the task. Mexico are running rings round him. Mexico 1-2 England #MEXENG #WC26

Mexico 0-2 England. One third of the job done. #MEXENG #WC26

Come on, England!!! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 #ENGMEX #WC26

Happy 4th to the many lovely US folks who made my life better down the years, including my beautiful wife and daughter. ❤️🤍💙

Is it just my TV, or do we now have the white lines of the football field banded by black lines? If so, why exactly?

Revered #OSR stalwarts: Can anyone recommend a good #OD&D retro-clone? What is your favorite one, and why? Cheers, Mog.

Commiserations to the amazing DRC. What a team. What a goalkeeper. Absolutely terrifying. Well done, England!!! We huffed and puffed. We had a stonewall penalty denied by a ref who was more concerned having his way than making the right call. We still won. Let’s go get Mexico. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 #ENGCOD

Come on England!!!! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Get in. #ENGCOD

Ok, even Mark “I always agree with the decision on the field” Clattenburg says it was absolutely a penalty. COME ON ENGLAND!!!!!!! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 #ENGCOD

How. The hell. Is that not a penalty? How? Don’t get me wrong, we are awful, and DR Congo are amazing. But. That was a stonewall pen. #ENGCOD

Although to be fair, Thierry Henry’s side-eye take-downs of Alexi Lalas make him a legend in my book. Well played. COME ON SWEDONNNNN!!!!!!!

It’s nice being able to watch World Cup games without getting embroiled in historical national rivalries. Just sit back and watch the skill and athl.. COME ON SWEDONNNNNN!!!!!!!! FUCK UP THE FROGGGGGS!!!!!!!!!! Oh. Excuse me. Did that sound like words? #WC26

He’s not wrong. SW19, baby!!!

It seems that manufacturers and retailers have really given up on British N-Gauge since the arrival of TT. So few items in stock, even really basic stuff. I’m sure fans of OO are seeing the same thing, though probably not as pronounced. #N-Gauge #ModelRailways #ModelTrains

Blimey. Casablanca will be rocking tonight. What a game. Best team won. #WC26 #NEDMAR

I think we are all a little Paraguayan right now. 😁 #GERPAR #WC26 #Boom

Good grief. I’ve just noticed that IF England manages to vanquish DR Congo (and that is a genuine IF at this point), we will likely face Mexico. In Mexico City. #WC26 [take it away, Roy Kent]

BRA 2-1 JAP Football is a stupid, stupid game, and we are all idiots for caring about it.

Well huzzah!!! That man Harry Cane, blessed by God, born of a virgin, and possibly the Greatest Man Who Ever Lived! At this rate they’ll probably just give us the World Cup after this game and send everyone else home! Good old Blighty! God Save The King! #EnglandTilIDie #WorldChampions #PANENG

I say! Well played, Jude, old chap!!! Wonderful! That should send ‘em packing! God save the King!!! #PANENG #GodSaveTheKing #WC26

“Well, Gaffer, the tricky little blighters keep trying to take the ball off us! Bloody irritating, and a tad unsporting, if you ask me! How in god’s name are we supposed to come home with this World Cup thingy if the other nations want it, too?” Have we tried asking really nicely? 🤷🏼‍♂️ #PANENG #WC26

Well there’s nothing like 30,000 England fans singing “The Great Escape” as we desperately try to claw our way out of a group that Denmark would have wrapped up half way through Game 2. 🙄 #WakeUpEngland #ItsJustLikeWatchingPortVale #PANENG

I see we are playing with our trademark blend of baffling disinterest and gross over-complication of every situation. Good old England! They’ll never figure us out! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 #FIFAWorldCup #PANENG #EnGERland

I’m sorry, how is that offside? FOX just showed a VAR screenshot for 2 seconds showing the striker 1 inch in front of the nearest defender, but there was another defender and the retreating goal-keeper playing the striker onside. What the hell are we even seeing here? Show the whole sequence!

What a cracking start to #EGYIRN! Love it!

Anyone else feel that refs have stopped giving fouls at this WC? It’s as if they have outsourced decisions to VAR, or they’ve been given a mandate to keep the game flowing rather than enforce the rules. Two blatent fouls against Iran in 10 seconds and the guy just looks away.

Well I don’t think -3 goal difference will be good enough for a 3rd place birth in the next round, but Scotland look like they are done.

“The romance of playing out from the back: good players will make you pay.” God damn. Now I live in a universe where I agree with Alexi Lalas. #SCOBRA #IToldYou

A’ reet, lads! Noo what we need heer is a brisk, confident wee start, okay? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #WC26 #SCOBRA #NoScotlandNoParty #OhSheeeet
