    Good luck, great spirit second half I’m told. Best result for England too.

    Cojones of the day, the Iranian team. Fair play to them. Just hope there are no repercussions when they get home.

    Wales V USA was the best game so far.

    I think International football is still rotten to the core and has been for decades This particular tournament is especially obnoxious. For that reason, I am struggling to enjoy it.

    It’s incredible to think - based on current FIFA Rankings - that this is the strongest Group <yikes>

    England should win all 3 matches <cheers>

    Seeing England 6-2 is normally followed by Joe Root coming to the crease to dig us out of the **** again

    Which is why I've never paid any attention to the rankings, they are pathetic. Not so long ago Switzerland were ranked number 1 and Poland were very near the top too, both on the back of having long unbeaten runs having played absolutely no one in meaningless friendlies ! A complete joke

    The greatest thing that could happen would be for the winning country to refuse the cup at the end of the tournament, not that its going to happen.

    Well..that has cheered me up alot..

    The explanation of Jack Grealishs goal celebration of the " arm worm" was a promise he made to a kid with cerebral palsy months ago.

    In the heat of the moment in the world cup, he remembered....

    Seems they cracking down on time wasting....

    World Cup 2022: Why is there so much stoppage time being added on?


    please log in to view this image

    Alireza Beiranvand suffered a head injury in the opening stages of Iran's game against England, leading to 14 minutes being added on at the end of the first half

    Fifa World Cup


    We are only two days into this World Cup and already we are seeing a theme developing:

    Stoppage-time. And lots of it....

    Chairman of Fifa's referees committee Pierluigi Collina confirmed last week that fourth officials had been instructed to keep track of time lost during the game during the tournament in Qatar, something they had also tried to do at the previous World Cup in Russia in 2018.
