The Bush whackers are still around. I know because my cousin had a tag team against them in New Zealand a few months ago!

Have they stopped booking dives now? A few matches have had blatant dives that were not punished.

There was another Portuguese player called Beto or something Ferguson bought when the player was 16. He was supposed to be a great young striker, but disappeared.

Smith and Warner will be too busy crying like babies at press conferences to have an effect.

The Aussies are not the same when they can't cheat.

Paddy power will be paying more money to homosexual causes then. They advertised they'll pay for every goal Russia scores.

World record ODI is on here. Got TMS on and Morgan has 63 off about 24 balls. It looked like 500 was up for grabs at one point.

Sterling was pretty quiet during the game, and looked a little short of confidence in taking players on with his pace. When Rashford came on, it looked a bit better as he is a bit more direct in the central areas.

And the Russian hooligans are all at home because the FSB knocked on their doors and told them to behave. Falcao must have the wrong boots on because he keeps falling over.

With this talk of licenses for teams, it sounds like a fiddle so the FA scum can get their favourite rich teams in and change the rules to suit that.

Ther ref must have a Tunisian wife/husband.

2 penalties now not given. Good thing the world cup isn't in the USA or Tunisia would have knee capped Kane with an AR-15.

The VAR seems much quicker and efficient than we saw in the Premier league.

Though it is not the market we're shopping in perhaps the world cup has delayed things, as lower status premier league teams are scouting it, and therefore are holding off buying and selling until players show their abilities and are back in their clubs. So players who are being replaced won't be shipped out or loaned out until they know their squad.

Marseille and Athlectic Bilbao small clubs compared to Boro and Twenete pal?

Ronaldo is a tax dodging giraffe.

McClaren is pants though. Failed at Boro apart from that cup run, and had 1 good season in Holland. Failed at Derby, Forest and everywhere else. Biesla has won the Argentine league, did OK in international football and got to the UEFA Cup final.

Even when he was crap, he scored against us, or so it felt.

He'll either be great or like Di Canio at Sunderland. Had some odd managerial spells as others have said.

Hard to do since every player currently playing is rubbish though.

He's another slightly embittered Celt who has to define his national pride in being anti-English rather than promoting the many achievements and culture of their own country. This causes the sufferer to lose the ability to read and aural hallucinations as everything associated with England is bragging, arrogance and suchlike despite it clearly being the opposite, or merely more measured, cautious optimism.

You do get a vibe that the squad and manager are happy together, and there are no real 'big I am' players like Terry, Gerrard or Rooney. I expect a valiant loss in the second round.

Is John Terry training to be a referee now?

Problem with Morocco is the big shiny stadiums would be useless white elephants. I can't see Fez filling a 60,000 seater stadium every week. And the transport network is probably a bit rough. The USA etc. already has the stadiums and has closed many schools and other public facilities to afford them. In fact, sport stadiums are what Canada and the USA are great at doing.

Mendes looking for another host then. It's like Invasion of the Bodysnatchers.
