Haha. What a clown at the end, wasting time. I haven't seen such a stupid throw in since the 90s ☺️?

The usual ITV clowns weren't impressed. Anyway, it's all over now. Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool!

Didn't he play for QPR against Rovers one night a few years back? A remember some guy running around for a few minutes and then fading. Rovers won Rob Green let in a flopper and we all had fake play-off hopes again.

The worst 'Nightwatchmans' ever . . . ?

Saudi Arabia Beheading home soon.

Meanwhile. The best player not at the World Cup is getting in shape for Euro 2020.

Certainly after that Golden Boot. He seemed really relaxed at the start. Oh if only he'd been born in Maidstone.

Ronnie will be eyeing a hat-trick again. Which team is going to score the most goals? Don't phone it's just for fun: I'll go for Portugal 3. Uruguay 4. Spain 5.

If only the World Cup was played in winter. The ginge might have lasted more than 20 minutes before flaking out.

Today looks like it could be the most sobering day in the World Cup so far. Would anyone here bet against Uruguay, Portugal or Spain?

I suspect had it been a team like Brazil that had played with dominating intensity for 90 minutes in 2 games whilst crushing the opposition scoring worldies in the process the press would be creaming themselves. About that intensity, it was really nice to see, trying for a 4th goal instead of dropping off, time wasting and generally being bores. It would be interesting to see how many minutes on the pitch the Russian players played last season as there wasn't any drop off (as we saw with England last night). I know Russia haven't been pegged back yet - so there's been no psychological test in that regard, but from a purely physical point of view, if players are used to playing 90minutes then they should be fitter than those that have been rotated and substituted a lot.

Haha. The sand-paperers are getting a bit too good at this 50 over stuff.

I only turned on after the game to laugh at their Russia phobia. But the Salah love-in was puke-worthy.

Shirt pulling and holding doesn't seem to count. Egypt have been doing it on every corner. At least VAR has been consistent on that.

I'm watching on Telecinco. But after Russia's first game the BBC news reports on the game were really anti Russian.

This is putting BS friendlies into perspective. What a credit these hosts are to the WC. Gooooooooollllllls.

.

Haha. I guess that's what you get when you're more obsessed with shirt pulling than the ball. Go go Russia.

Come on Russia. Do it for Europe and the World Cup tournament at large!

481 and a new world record isn't bad. But I agree, Root's not exactly a stand and deliver type player - with just balls remaining and a massive score already up I was thinking they would send the sloggers in. The only thing I can think is that maybe they didn't have their pads on ?

What a disappointing end. Australia bowling brilliantly now, lol.

Oooops! 2-0. All over. Time to get the cricket on for 10 minutes to see England get the record score.

World Cup has overshadowed the cricket but England have already scored over 400 and there are 6 overs left to go. ?, I don't know where to look. WOW! Record score definitely ON!

I wonder how much it costs to go from Senegal to Russia - they seem to have way more fans than poor poor impoverished England. ?

Wow, the online stream is about 5 minutes behind the TV. That's poor even by streaming standards.
