June 19Jun 19 I think the card was upgraded to red purely for the extent of the injury as opposed to the tackle, which is a bit of a shame.. The Qatar player looked devastated

The way they travel & raise money for local causes is class.Some brilliant stories coming out of them hiring all the yellow school buses & taking over a red socks baseball game.No better national anthem out there.Shame their manager is so fckn boring. As the players they have are capable of playing with a lot more ambition.

June 20Jun 20 Is it me or has ITV gone for the usual WC big stage coverage and the BBC have shit themselves and gone for Temu comparable guests and staging so are not bothering with the expense?Its like they know they are damned if they do and damned if they don't so have gone for what they hope doesn't attract too much criticism?

For example, USA v Turkey has no impact as US can't not win the group and Turkey can't not finish last even if they get a big win. They've absolutely killed the group stage excitement.
June 21Jun 21 I've not seen much up to now, but are the pubs busy as fuck ? Them that I've been in and gone past don't seem to be bursting at the seams. Not seen gangs of pissheads outside the Dancers. Not more than usual anyway.

They've absolutely killed the group stage excitement.Was only saying today I wouldnt be at all surprised if in tournaments to come (especially if we go to 64) the groups were replaced by a league table where not everyone plays eachother, as we now have in the Champions League.Currently I'm watching it, not overly disliking it, but not finding it essential either as I have done in the past. I'm also finding it very hard to remember off the top of my head who is in each group and even who some teams played in their first game.I want international tournaments to be a break and a rare treat away from club football, but I dont need 5 weeks of it 😃
