    Moving Brazil Norway also.

    Waiting for a FIFA announcement and I guarantee it’s got fuck all to do with the weather.
    Advertisers dream showing that at 7pm instead of 1am.
    The BBC will be pleased, they can charge more for the adverts during the broadcast.
    Europe on the other hand?
    The unseen hand of Finnish commercial television!

    For a knockout game apart from a few short moments this has been dull.

    Going to change my earlier comment. FIFA want us out, so finish a game at 2pm the hottest part of the day makes sense 😉

    Is Mexico that big a draw on the other side of the channel?
    I think any knockout match involving a big W.European team is a big attraction everywhere in W.Europe

    Bloody hell!

    If England get to the final (I know, BIG if) we have three together at the NY/NJ Stadium. How much would they be worth? (they wouldn't be for sale I might add).

    Tickets were going for 3k for the Brazil v Scotland game.  No doubt this was not a one off.
    To be honest I reckon you would EASILY get 20k for all three tickets together.
    The face value of the three together is about £10k so I would expect more than that. 

    Two problems though:

    1. I only have the tickets if England get to the final (full refund if they don't) and:
    2. The chance of making a memory with my two wonderful sons and I at a World Cup Final with England, a memory that will far outlive me, is priceless. 

    I would never sell them.

    Substituting your GK for the shoot out is BOLD

    Australia have brought on their best keeper, Alex Carey.

    Australia make a substitution with one minute of extra time left.

    They've changed their keeper.

    He’s going to stump Mo Salah and then not pay for a haircut

    Someone should tell these fans that it’s on TV.

    Aussies kick off the penalty shoot out.

    Great penalty ... if it was an oval ball game. Well over the bar.

    Awful penalty first up from Souttar.

    That was saucy from Salah.

    Another miss from the Aussies, this time hitting the bar.

    3-2 Egypt with a kick to win it ...

    Subbed the keeper on and he didnt get anywhere near those pens.

    Aussie keeper went the wrong way for all four Egyptian penalties.

    4-2  Egypt wins

    Ryan didn't get near any of those penalties,  making his introduction questionable.

    Objectively it’s better that the country where it will mean everything to 100M people win than the country where it would have meant something to about 46 people.

    Dived half way through the run-up each time, all the Egypt players did was wait for the move

    A colleague of mine is Australian, asked him a couple of weeks ago if he's following the World Cup, and he was yeah, I'm rooting for England! When I asked him why he wasn't following Australia for it, he looked at me confused and said "why, we don't play footy do we?" And genuinely had no idea they had qualified.
