Morning folks. Well, as it turned out, the whole Balogun red-card debacle ended up having little impact on the result, as the Belgians quite comfortably knocked the final host nation out last night. Or did it? Because let's face it, because of FIFA, because of Trump, because of the circus that followed the 'bending' of [...]
I tried my hardest to stay up and watch the England game last night, but when the one-hour delay was confirmed, I realised that, despite being English and wanting England to progress, I'm not that bothered to be watching them. To be fair, I missed a cracker, so I re-watched it this morning, and although [...]
I didn’t watch the France v Paraguay game last night, but I’ve seen some of the shenanigans of the Paraguayans and, as a result, I’m kinda glad I didn’t. Some real arses in that team, particularly their number 23, who was snidey all game by the looks of it. I’ve got no love for France, [...]
I watched the tail-end of the pumping that Spain gave Austria last night, as I was coming back from a networking event in the City, and I have to say, Spain looks like they are purring now. It's a shame their two fullbacks are absolute dickheads, but I guess there's not a lot you can [...]
I do actually want to talk about Tonali going to The Scum and some rumours that they are after Junior Kroupi next, and some of the Arsenal fan reaction that we've seen, but before then, shall we talk a little World Cup? Firstly - and quickly, as I didn't watch the US game last night [...]
Poor ol' Pierro Hincapie, eh? His national team gets knocked out of the World Cup, plus he gets his marching orders in Mexico in the early hours of this morning, for covering his mouth and saying something to a Mexico player. I didn't watch the game, but I have seen the incident, and the Mexico [...]
I hate to be a Johnny-I-told-you-so merchant, but as I wrote about just four days ago, it appears that clubs are playing the "if he's worth x, ours is worth y" card, it seems. Yesterday, we got Matt Law telling us that Villa view Rogers at £130million, whereas the French outlets are also signalling that they want similar monies to [...]
It's a new week, and another set of World Cup games to be peppered with, and the first of the knockout matches has already been decided. I didn't watch Canada beat South Africa last night, mainly because I wasn't sure what time it was on. I've gotten so used to the games being on at [...]
Thankfully, we didn't see Declan Rice yesterday, as Tuchel did the sensible thing and kept the Arsenal midfielder out of harms way as England got over a plucky Panama team last night. I watched the first half in a bar in London with some mates, pretty uninspired by England, but that's Par for the course [...]
I watched the Germany vs Ecuador game last night, whilst sipping on some white wine in the garden, getting over the melting of the day in London. To be fair, it wasn't a bad one, with Germany scoring first to add some urgency, although the goal they got really shouldn't have stood. If that isn't [...]
