In his first major speech as Chancellor of the Exchequer, John Healey is expected to say within 25 years...

Small Prophets to return

Hope this WC disaster buries the idea that being an elite club manager has any real bearing on international tournament football or that it's worth spanking money on. Spain, Germany, Argentina, France all won things by promoting coaches from their internal system. We throw £££ at Capello and Tuchel.

Still, pleased for Trevoh

How long til he brings on Dan Burn for a bit of aimless hoofball?

Still, good that he kept faith with the lads who won those qualifiers against Albania

Hart giving us five minutes on the biomechanics required to allow a goalkeeper to fall on the floor

Good half, that

This is the definitely the funniest version of Declan Rice, where he just clatters from one situation to another with his arms out like a scarecrow running downhill

Still, a useful corrective to the hype around the Croatia game which also wasn't.. great?

Blame it on Ghana being defensive if you want but that was a desperate lack of creativity from a squad made up of very workmanlike players

Definitely ghana watch that again

Game of the tournament so far?

Not sure what people expect against a low block when you pick a squad of runners and leave your creative players at home. Anyway, bring on Trev, might as well

Fucking class this

Brilliant game so far

I can't agree with pougatch that this is a good game of football

Still, good news about the togetherness in the camp

Good start this.

Nuts that when the US got the World Cup we all joked they'd try to make football a game of four quarters and that's literally what's happened

It's a great squad for the 'it's not about picking the best players, it's about picking the best TEAM' twats.

Pleased for his royal highness Prince William the Prince of wales

Mad. Can't think of any other season where every big team has been dogshit and no disrespect to Arsenal - well done, congrats etc - but you'd sort of include them?

This close to a World Cup with this many brilliant players, England should be absolutely buzzing but Tuchel's trying his best to Graham Taylor it. Get it wide to Andy Sinton, see if he can stick it in the mixer for Brian Deane.

Fuck me I hate penalties. The people who like them are dicks as well

I know football tactics are cyclical but I'm already cyc of this one.

They should call him Matt Badloss

Reform activists hearing Matt Goodwin has all but conceded defeat to the Greens.

Mad that the Oscars can have a guy walk up and lamp the host and still go out live yet the BAFTAs are on two hour delay just in case someone mentions Palestine or His Royal Highness Prince Andrew the Duke of York

The only upside of Trump having one of his horse in a hospital days is you get to watch our politicians forced to think on their feet without their focus grouped safety blankets. FYI they are SHIT at it

This is VAR

Yes that was a clear and obvious error. Clear. But most of all obvious. It was the Hand of God. It was Henry v Ireland. Definitely worth the wait
