Mendy is having an absolute blinder. Are we bringing the wrong Senegalese player back?

Miles off-side. But VAR will probably overturn it and award the goal.

France have been scintillating this half. Some stunning football.

Ha, ha, ha. Brillant. Yet again the US of A reinventing soccer.

VAR are going to review it but, as it's France, Donald Trump is certainly going to veto it.

Unarguably two world class centre forwards involved in the game tonight. M'bappe on the pitch and Alan Shearer on commentary.

The half-time BBC pundits on this game are Wayne Rooney, Gael Clichy and Giroud. Listening to it now, with two non-native English speakers offering their comments, and I am finding it difficult because I have to admit I cannot understand a word Rooney is saying. Quoi, gros lard ?

Spot on Scott. Hudson-Odoi is a good example of that. Bags of skill and ability, but not one ounce of agression. Hopefully Estevao will be like Luis Diaz. Tons of agression and a staggering work ethic for a winger.

Watching the Spain game. Cape Verde have been a breath of fresh air. No fear. That Real Madrid left back/ left wing/ inside right/ central midfielder / centre forward with the mad hair doesn't look all that.

The greatest World Cup ever IMO. Won by the greatest team ever. With the greatest player ever.

Seriously, balloons? Christ on a bike! We just used to drink copious amounts of Stella and on the odd occaisions take some Billy to stay awake on an all nighter. But now...

Imagine him scoring a hat-trick against France. Now that would be funny.

But Tuchel rates him very, very highly. From the BBC website. "So heading into the group stages, how much protection Tuchel provides Saka will be a factor towards the team the German decides to pick. But in Madueke, Tuchel has a player he trusts and clearly rates, should the manager decide to ease Saka into the tournament". Hey Noni, Noni. I'd rather have a Noni than a Garnacho.

Fantastic to see Spurs are just as "Spursy" at basketball too. BBC SportNBA Finals 2026: New York Knicks beat San Antonio Spurs i...NBA legend Charles Barkley brands the San Antonio Spurs "the dumbest basketball team in the history of civilisation" after the New York Knicks move 3-1 ahead of the San Antonio Spurs.

Anyone got a video clip of the simple tap-in he missed? I collect these Jacko specials.

Leao. Plus points: Big lad, has pace. Can look good in flashes. Is miles better than Garnacho and Mudryk. Minus points: Couldn't even spell defend let alone chase back and do some. Is as consistent as Donald Trump's policy decisions.

There is. Scott MacTominay. Current Serie A Player of The Year.

Have you seen Neto's new tattoo referencing you?

Duh!!! Because he is going to replace Halaand at Citeh! You must know Maresca-Pepilini said countless times that Jacko was his dream striker, (I can only assume the Baldy One had a lot of nightmares), and was glad he was his player. Blueco are expecting a £100 million bid anytime now. Try to keep up RS.

How odd. He drives exactly the same way as he runs.

No worries Syd. Sit back. Grab a cold one and enjoy.
