    When do they announce the team?

    Scotland need a miracle to progress, but I just took this photo.  Could it be their best chance?





    70% against Brazil, to then play the way they did, is mental. 

    If they’d doubled up on Vini, played a low block and not pissed about at the back I think they’d have comfortably got out of there with a 1/2-0 and could’ve even grabbed a draw. 

    I still thought they’d be OK in fairness, but it’s hilarious how the team who continually root for Englands opponents have once again been let down rooting for other teams.
    Their fault was not trying to score more than 1 goal against Haiti and then not getting at least a point in their 2nd match.

    Absolutely true. However, having fallen short in those 2 games, why the hell did they not just come out and park the bus against Brazil?!

    I think Bielsa would benefit from some mindfulness coaching, or at least count to 10, not 3

    And STILL he cannot give an interview and look the person in the eye, always looking at the floor.

    He’s a fair way on the spectrum tbf.

    Listening to Talk Sport and they're talking about making a statement by winning well tonight. Do they really think that France, who I think are by far the outright favourites, are going to be concerned if we beat Panama by 5 goals again?

    Because it's Scotland and they have a terrible defence.

    Following completion of Group H, only 15 out of 495 possible combinations remain. For the winners of England’s group:

    8/15 1L v 3K (DR Congo)
    6/15 1L v 3I (Senegal)
    1/15 1L v 3J (Algeria?)
    I know we play 3rd from group I/J/K but how does it get decided who?
    In order of preference:

    Algeria 
    Congo
    African Champions

    Whichever football association pays FIFA the most chooses.

    Watching the Japan v Sweden match at the FIFA Fan Festival in Dallas - $25 a beer (inc. tip)! 


    Surely the tip was “Don’t buy the beer, it’s ridiculously expensive”?
    If they're just giving you a can I recommend smuggling them in. Or do they search bags at the entrance?

    I enjoyed seeing Bjorn Borg, the head coach of Ecuador celebrating and showing his emotions.
    He was an iceman as a tennis player.
    Lol. When I see him I sing 'I am the one and only, nobody I'd rather be'
