Gutted, Wales. England scored more goals than I think Wales made passes in that one. Get in there, Rashford! Glad to see him at his best.

I'm doing my school reports, it's been that shit.

This England/Wales match has been shit.

I can't tell if the score is slightly harsh or not. Croatia totally deserved that win and really turned it on after the poor start. Canada was more than a little naive defensively...but they were against a quality team today who were up for it. Great for Canada to get the goal and there were many positive moments for them in that match. That third goal really did it for them, it was pretty much over at that point.

Both games today have had more interesting scorelines than performances. The Japan/Costa Rica game was pretty dire, to be honest.

Morocco fully deserve this. Great all-round performance. Worked very hard for that.

Belgium are utter morons for sticking with Martinez for so long. 8 years! They've wasted such a great generation of players on a crap manager and have nothing to show for it. Needs to be ditched after this tournament, 100%.

It does feel a bit too familiar, for all the wrong reasons. Wouldn't be surprised if the USA nick this late on.

Had a pretty shit day at work and the Wales score directly in the middle of it didn't help. This England game is pretty bleh, too.

I quite enjoy Twitter, tbh. If you follow a range of accounts, you get a huge variety of stuff and I quite like dipping in and out. I don't live my life on there and see it as more of a casual browsing thing, but it's pretty good at being able to obtain information that you wouldn't always be able to find, or certain issues get highlighted there that are quite an interesting read. It's not a bad thing every now and again to see what exactly is going on in the world, and there are a lot of things that often go unreported or don't get the media attention they deserve. At the same time, Musk really, really fucks me off, and I hope he crashes and burns with this. He's a tyrant.

Bit of an awkward one this year with it being held in Qatar and...quite a few reasons for maybe why it shouldn't be there. Anyone watching this? Probably the biggest shock of all time today with Saudi Arabia beating Argentina. Mouth nearly hit the floor when I checked the score in work. Can't remember a score line like that. It's utterly insane.

Love a late winner! We were shite for most of that, but...'JANDROOOOOO! What a player. Our most exciting forward, to be honest.

That's really sad to hear, and I'm sorry for that. It's a shame that this is actually a lot more common than we think amongst people of that age bracket. Their bodies have broken down, their memory isn't what it used to be, and they've been through heartache with losing their loved ones. My mum has got a form of Parkinson's and we lost our dad 8 years ago. She's deteriorated so much in the last 5 years or so and is just feeling miserable. Old age seems very cruel at times.

It'll be interesting to see just how long they're willing to give Potter in that job. Chelsea are notorious for moving on managers when things don't go well, but Potter will need quite a lot of time before his ideas can begin to turn into results. He's a manager who has got clear ideas of how he wants his team to play football, so naturally you'd assume that Chelsea would want to give him that time that is needed. I can't help but think though that it's a match that doesn't work for either party. He was on to a really, really good thing with Brighton and I feel that a club such as Spurs or Arsenal would've been more suited to him and what he wants to do. At the same time, he's not going to bring the instant results Chelsea want either, so it doesn't really work for them, too.

Well deserved and well played. We were shite. Must have been hitting up the clubs late last night.

We're getting twatted by Villa after 10 minutes. Eeesh.

I'm watching the titans of Leicester City play against the Crystal 'The Crushers' Palace right now. Mainly because...it's on. There's men kicking a ball somewhere, and I have access to it, so I'm watching it. It's like somebody took out all of the joy out of football and televised it. Can't remember a single interesting thing happening all game. When it's a neutral game involving two teams that nobody cares about, the least they could do is make some goals! Boring bastards.

Be positive, Bawwwwb! There's a good chang that this will be great.

Arsenal starting very well against Liverpool. This is another one of those fixtures that always seems to deliver.

Sooner or later Liverpool will step it up a gear and it'll all click. I think. Maybe. I do wonder if that players are thinking the same. We're going through something similar. Some days, I wish we could just turn up and have the 3 points, a 3-course-meal, and an Amazon gift-card. All these bluddy teams expecting us to play football. Bastards!

I'm looking forward to this. I'm ready. It all hinges on the writing and performances of the two leading actors. It's also a little difficult when you've already got god-tier source material, and I'd hate for this to be constantly compared to the that. It should be its own thing.

On the plus side, we outscored them in the second half. The first half was a car crash. Mentally, we weren't at it and crumbled when their first goal went in. So many bad/terrible performances out there today. Can't quite believe we actually scored 3! One of those games where we should've/could've lost 10-0.

Thank fuck the real football is back. Great North London derby! Anyone else watching?

Thinking of you, dude. Hope you're ok and that you get what you need. We'll be here for you. Always enjoy your posts in the football threads.
