Everyone's every excited about Côte d'Ivoire taking the lead as if their coach, Emerse Faé, isn't among the worst Reading FC signings of all time.

They should play Don't Leave Me This Way when Summerville scores

There are three former Everton managers coaching at this World Cup. Can anyone equal or top this? I mean, two of them are complete clown shoes frauds, I'm not hyping them or anything

Tell you what mind, big up the Airport Flyer. Walked straight out the terminal and onto a bus, half an hour later I'm in town. Another bus pulling in as we left. Loads of the buggers - no need to drive to Adge Cutler International!

Back in Bristol. South of the river still so can admire all the flags probably put there by that tit who fell off his ladder and died

Just checked and I'm flying to temps 17 degrees lower but humidity 15% higher. This is bullshit man

Was Xhaka's celebration there a substitution for the double eagle he got in trouble for v Serbia?
