Last time England had a dramatic World Cup collapse the Labour prime minister was replaced a few days later so it's good to have everything organised in advance this time.

I think the countdowns after half time are even worse than the water breaks. #WorldCup

Neutrals everywhere are hoping for something to match the level by which all other meaningless/friendly games are measured. #FRAENG

I think the winning candidate in all elections should get to spend all the lost deposits on something nice for the local area. A clock, some new benches or here, a medium-sized sports centre.

I don't want to spread unnecessary alarm, but Corden will be available once his US World Cup TV thing finishes on Sunday.

Never felt more proud of our system of filling vacant legislative seats.

They've obviously learned from doing this every year for the Super Bowl where it completely screws up the flow of the game too.

South Carolina has a vacant Senate seat, so the only way to resolve this is for South Carolina's Stephen Colbert (recently of the Late Show) to run against Stephen Colbert (from the Colbert Report).

@hansmollman.bsky.social Happy birthday!

OK, it's now 12.30am and I'm into a fifth hour in public spaces where some people think it's fine to play music, and now loud 'comedy' over their phones. I'm allowed to just drop it in a nearby coffee machine, right?

Good luck with the interviews, Norway coach. 😬

I take this back, it seems most England fans feel the same way.

Excited for the new live-action 'Chorlton and the Wheelies' remake.

Is Count Binface the leader of his own party or is that a decision for the 1923-2-1 Committee?

It's ridiculous, but so great it's come to this. In the US five different candidates would already have raised $34m each for a primary campaign by now.

Switzerland once again delivering the usual white-hot excitement in a knockout game, the same as you always see with them, 'Winner of Match 39' or 'BYE' in the draw.

You definitely shouldn't scan any QR codes that appear on screen during this.

The crowd is not doing anything like as much as the Mexican support at the same score, same stage last night.

I am SO glad the goal at 91" was this side of extra time rather than another awful 29 minutes to go.

Anyone else having a bank holiday and watching a parliament ceremony that's been going on since 979AD?

Biggest outbreak of support for plucky Belgium in the face of a blatant breach of written rules by a larger power since the summer of 1914. #WorldCup #ScrapOfPaper

Whoever is refereeing Belgium-USA has the opportunity to do the funniest thing in the first 10 minutes tomorrow.

I am already looking forward to the number of radio stations that will definitely give the result in the 7am news...

Sensationally niggly 20 minutes or so coming up. #PARFRA

Events today with bigger crowds than the Washington state fair thing - World Tin Bath Championships, Isle of Man.

It's very unfair that none of Scotland's #WorldCup games were moved to a time when there were no thunderstorms, we had a better team that didn't make terrible individual mistakes, and possibly the other Souttar brother.

At some point not too many years from now people will start claiming the Swift-Kelce wedding was the actual USA250 celebration, to avoid admitting what the official event was.

So both Spain and France tick the 'untroubled win against decent but unremarkable European team' box. #WorldCup

If you stay up till 4am for Switzerland v Algeria the QR code on screen takes you to a page that says 'Are you OK?' and gives links to support groups in your area. #WorldCup

A reminder that if this score remains the same, there is a strong likelihood of a high profile person/newspaper/'cartoonist' posting, writing or drawing something really awful. #ENGDRC

A huge shout out to @nationwideuk.bsky.social whose, let's say 'customer service' team has just made a note of complaint on my complaint that I am unhappy with how my complaint is being handled so the team who are handling my complaint can review it. A towering achievement.

This France team would be heading for a third straight World Cup if it wasn't for a glorious hour of Messi and an incredible late save. #FRASWE

isn't there some rule of live shows that there should be more people watching the show than musicians

I didn't stay up for #NEDMOR last night but I can only imagine the feeling of "Oh, great, a dramatic late equaliser" meaning extra time just after 4am. #WorldCup

From experience, the worst 'fun events' are run by government/councils, and have 'bouncy castle' as a major attraction on the poster. This one doesn't even have a bouncy castle.

Update: terrible news, the WiFi is still working fine.

#WorldCup tonight is going to be a real test, who will come out on top, as sports app goal alerts and Bluesky on a phone take on ITVx over Avanti West Coast's WiFi.

"A night of football here on BBC2 now. At 3am it's Austria v Algeria, a real hot potato of a win, but first it's DR Congo v Uzbekistan" - possibly the greatest #WorldCup continuity announcement ever.

Pretty much the only positive to take away from Scotland's World Cup - I no longer have any need to stay up till 5am hoping Congo and Austria get results that definitely won't happen.

I saw celebrations on here, goal alerts from BBC and ESPN, and only then did I remember I was watching live on ITVx.

@jnraeside.bsky.social For a second there I thought I just received history's worst 'You may also like' recommendation email.

Absolutely textbook. Bad, yet somehow not quite bad enough to be out completely and several days of watching some terrible games because there might be a chance but not really. #SCOBRA

At this stage that new TV deal sounds like a threat. #SCOBRA

I have already subtly shifted my #WorldCup view on Qatar from "terrible, dirty side" to "really hope they can get an equaliser here".

Anyone who actually scans the 'Player Rater QR code' deserves to be taken to some reprehensible website instead. #WorldCup

Daughter isn't old enough to have voted in a general election, and Burnham (I assume) will be her 9th PM. I'm 51 next month and the 9th PM of my lifetime was Johnson.

When timelines align...

This scoreline does not reflect tremendously well on Tunisia.
