Ocean Colour Scene - Jane Got Excavated

Did you not see the penalty that Australia got yesterday? Never a penalty in a million years I'm afraid. A ball hitting someone's arm is not an automatic penalty. There has to be intent to handle the ball, so how you can intentionally commit hand ball when you have your back to it is beyond me. There were also the two (arguably three) penalties that England should have had which the VAR officials contrived to deem not fouls. And the blatant push by the Swiss player while scoring the goal against Brazil that was not disallowed by VAR. So yeah, I think there is 'bad use' of VAR.

Very good use of VAR in this game - a Brazil penalty overturned because of a Neymar dive.

Stranger things have happened - I still have a sneaky feeling the Argies will qualify somehow. Mind you, I predicted a lot of goals in this Brazil game, so what do I know?

Just the 600 for Lancs to win then? We haven't scored that in our first six matches have we, let alone in one innings!?

Going back to the game last night, did anybody else think the bookies had got it woefully wrong with the pre-match odds?

I fancy Brazil to score a few against Costa Rica if they can get an earlyish goal. Costa Rica looked incredibly poor recently against England's second eleven.

Richard Hawley - Love of My Life

I would expect Burnley to win fairly comfortably over the two legs. The Dons might give them a run for their money at Pittodrie though.

Squeeze - Up The Junction

Elvis Costello and the Attractions - I Can't Stand Up For Falling Down

Decent first session matt83, Worcs are five down so far.

The Beatles - Penny Lane

Sham 69 - Angels With Dirty Faces

Entertaining game between Colombia and Japan. Colombia down to 10 men and 1-0 down after 3 minutes have just equalized on 40 mins with a really clever free kick that was drilled under a jumping wall.

The Style Council - Have You Ever Had it Blue?

Simon and Garfunkel - The Only Living Boy in New York

I like to think I have a sense of humour but it was a bit of an odd thing to say for a guy who is being paid to provide analysis of incidents in the game . I would have docked his fee.

Paul Weller - Shadow of the Sun or 5th Season; both off the same album, take your pick

A-Craze - She is So

Oh well, in your world this no doubt means that Scotland have technically qualified for the World Cup.

Tracy Chapman - Talkin Bout a Revolution

Arthur Conley - Sweet Soul Music

Bettye Swann - Today I Started Loving You Again

Very sensible piece of business, and from a supporter point of view, extremely heartening. In Tony we trust!
