Great team goal, that. A fine example of what happens when you can play out from the back. Pulled the Welsh closer to our goal, tired them out, countered into the space as soon as they had over committed. If you’ve got the players that can do it, it’s quite something.

I’d love to go to Boca vs. River Plate. I’d also love Ajax vs. Feyenoord. Feyenoord away was a brilliant atmosphere, their derby must be incredible. I was lucky enough to watch a family member play in an Old Firm Derby. If you ever get the chance, you must go. I’ve never felt atmosphere like that before. Rovers vs. Burnley is one thing, but that’s a different level.

Celtic vs. Rangers (and in reverse) is a phenomenal game of football, especially now Rangers have caught up again. It’s like being in an earthquake.

Ward (Leicester) Williams (Forest) Mepham (Bournemouth) Rondon (Rennes) Davies (Spurs) Allen (Nice) Ampadu (Spezia) Ramsey (Nice) James (Fulham) Moore (Bournemouth) 10/11 players are all playing in the top leagues of the world - England, France or Italy. The other player is Gareth Bale. There’s your moment of brilliance from Rashford. We will score a few now. EDIT: there’s your second from Foden. Could be 4-0 this.

They’ll take this right to the 80th minute - maybe even longer - before they open up and go for it. Iran aren’t beating the USA but for a miracle. Wales are playing to say they’ve beaten England.

If you’d ever been around even lower league footballers you’d realise the talent and game management of a professional footballer. They might not all be ‘elite’, but they’re certainly top class. It isn’t easy to break down a team like that.

He’s the captain of arguably one of the best modern era football teams. He certainly isn’t dreadful and is a phenomenal leader, the commentators have mentioned how they can hear him screaming “press” every time we are out of possession. It’s very very tough to successfully attack against a team of top class footballers who are happy to sit back and defend. If they win 1-0 it’s a result they’ll talk about for years to come. It will come. We need a successful press and a counter or a piece of individual brilliance. Once that happens it’ll open up more and we could score a few.

Don’t encourage us, we came very close to selling Christmas Jumpers with BRFCS quotes on them from the past 12 months this year.

I’m assuming the Canadian team would most get work permits based on being in the commonwealth? If so, we should try and sign most of them.

Tournament football is different, you can be crap for 8 games and win the trophy.

Strange that the fans wearing kits singing behind the goals where the ones that stayed. Almost as if they where paid to be there for the duration?

Not sure where - it’s widely reported to be 10M, which is why Joe Lycett has shredded 10K.

I’ve bet on Gakpo to be the golden boot winner. I can’t work out the standard the Qatar team are playing at, but it’s not high. Perhaps bottom of L2 at a push.

He’s an inch (or two) offside. There’s two players there, both touch the ball. Watch it back.

Narrator: But it turned out that it was in fact, offside.

ALL THE ONES THAT I MAKE!

Couldn’t agree more. A local self made man bought the club, made a huge investment, won the biggest prize available and put a system in place to keep them competitive after his death. Phenomenal. Yep, we bought the League. And the League Cup! And wasn’t it great?!

Yes, but my point is United are a city based northern powerhouse. Much like Arsenal, Newcastle, Spurs, Villa and Liverpool. Huge city clubs with phenomenal economic power. Rovers aren't, weren’t and will never be that and it’s simply down to geography (with a touch of politics and culture - but that’s for WDWY). Comparing us against them is comparing apples with pears. As I posted earlier: Rovers spent more when owned by Jack Walker than any other comparable club whether that’s in transfers, wages or infrastructure. It cannot be denied and should be celebrated. How lucky we where.

Why are you lot getting so worked up? We spent more under Jack than we would have without Jack and won the league. We paid higher transfer fees, more in wages and more on infrastructure than other clubs in the league because we had the money. It should be celebrated, not demonised. What where we meant to do, burn it? Give it to other clubs to beat us with? No wonder they try and use it against it, I’d be incredibly jealous of it to. Just like I am that City get to watch De Bruyne and Haaland, that Chelsea get to watch Havartz and Sterling. Blackburn Rovers are, like most town clubs have the odds set against them by the organisations. We’re not meant to win things.

A fluke based on a combination of a well organised club taking advantage of a weak league that year. It’s exactly how we will get promoted.

Even if we use ours really wisely, it takes those with more to misuse theirs sadly.
