Dear Belgium The world is gutted for you. But will never forget how you saved football. Thank you

Sat drinking Belgian beer in a Canary Wharf bar watching the game. It doesn’t get any more working class than this

Gutted

Unless you’re Spanish or Infantino you want a Belgian win tonight

30 seconds

5 minutes from the prick that is Ronaldo crying folks

I mean you can drink the utter toilet water that is Budweiser. But you could drink this instead. Love beer, love Belgium. #fucktrump

Never change Brighton

Been to Portugal. It’s worth noting that none of them are Ronaldo. They’re all pretty lovely people. Does this mean I want the sinker crying in 30 minutes time? Nope

Nope scrub that. They just did Psycho Killer! My ears are bleeding

At Hyde Park. Duran Duran are absolutely destroying White Lines. And not in a good way

Greggs!

Cannot see anyone stopping this bloody French team.

Didn’t want to stay up till 4 on Monday anyway

Evening all. Generally try not to lay thick on the dramatics but frankly I’ve had a gutful. Love to you all. Stay safe and play up Pompey ❤️

@footballcliches.bsky.social morning Adam. Is headering acceptable? Martin Keown used it in the opening seconds of the Croatia highlights this morning after Modric ‘headered’ over?

And back then. No Anthony Gordon too

Do not. Under any circumstances start with Gordon again. In fact do not ever put him in an England shirt ever again

Thank Christ for that

Worth remembering Barcelona have just paid £65 million for Gordon. Approximately £65 million too much

When did Southgate sneak back into the job. This is turgid

Is there anything duller in this World Cup than the constant wankfest over someone who should have retired 2 years ago?

Got a lot of time for Emma Hayes, that moment during the advert break was really touching indeed. I’m also delighted she’s been upgraded to magnets instead of chalk!

Gorillaz. Exceptional night of world music

First rule of any gig. Play a fucking hit from the start. OMD tonight. Here’s a new song! FFS

Behind enemy lines watching the best new order tribute band on earth (except new order)

Your average reform voter gutted with poor 2-2 draw there

Why can’t we support a team that makes football look easy FFS

That’s actually funny

The French are a team I cannot warm to at all.

Is there a team you’d enjoy more suffering a shock result than the Germans?

This is wonderful

Oh FFS Logan. It’s not fucking soccer. You’re not American!

This World Cup gets even more farcical. Canada will not admit Thomas Party (on numerous rape charges) but he’s allowed, and currently is, in the US! Meanwhile they’re sending g people home for far less sinister reasons. What the fuck is this shot show

Beautiful team goal

He really has put the H in Sithole hasn’t he

ITV coverage. On the one hand Ally McCoist. On the other hand ITV

ITV now showing that the BBC gave always had the best World Cup intro sequences

Is it too late to move this World Cup somewhere safe, somewhere that doesn’t stop games for weather, somewhere that allows those taking part join? Utter fucking farce of a country now sadly

Just when I start to think that maybe we can concentrate on the actual football the wankers that are the US government demonstrate why this is actually worse than a combined Russia / Qatar World Cup. An absolute shit show of a country to be honest

Good to see Birmingham acting as peacemaker

How much did it cost the Qatari’s for this referee?

Well done Palace

Nice afternoon for it

It is incredible to see the utter lack of class from that lot down the road. We keep getting told that we should feel sorry for their fans but the majority show no remorse and just abuse anyone laughing at what happened. Truly scum by name and nature

Amazing to think that Bournemouth are probably 45 minutes from being in the Chsmpions League next season

My old mum said ‘cheats never prosper’. She lied! #pompey
