Bugger. Mbappé's broken his nose.

(OTOH he's spent a lot of the week thoroughly pissing off the fash, so it's not all bad.)

    Hurrah, Ukraine win a game, against Slovakia. My wife had tears in her eyes.

    The joke about Portugal is that their bench is stronger than the first team. Not quite, but I'm surprised they're not favourites.

    Has nothing worthwhile happened since the 22nd? :lol:

    Down to the last four, and it’s France, Spain, Netherlands… and England. Who’d a thunk it after such a disappointing group stage?

    England in the final - again. I can’t wait to see how the press try to spin this as a poor performance, or keep calling for Southgate’s head.

    Why do they throw beer to celebrate? 🤔

    I'm not the first to draw this parallel but consider:

    ENGLAND IN THE FINAL, SOUTHGATE FAILS AGAIN!

    LABOUR LANDSLIDE - DISASTER FOR STARMER!

    There's a certain editorial perspective some bring to bear.

    Southgate was not a great club manager but he does appear to have the knack of handling the best players

    From experience, it’s not so much deliberately throwing it as it being in ones hand when the goal goes in.

    In my experience it might have been bovril

    As a Liverpool supporter, it felt odd that the Netherlands fielded more Liverpool players than England.

    And a Liverpool player found himself in the crowd last night after losing in the Copa America. We'll see how depleted Uruguay is in the third place game against Canada. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ce78z0zg2ezo

    Actually, as I've never been there, I'm not quite sure why I'm laughing!
