Portugal play at 6:00 so everywhere here will go berserk

When I go to watch England at 9:00 it will be strange atmosphere

I was in Inverness 20 years ago. I was amazed (not really :P ) how many Scots were sporting Trinidad & Tobago shirts. So - not all Jocks, just most of them. :D

I wear whatever shirt is at clearance price.

I could be wearing a Scotland top quite soon.

Slightly harsh on Croatia but arguably the correct decision by the rules.

FWIW, to me, women's football is irrelevant.

I want to hear from folk who have played in the men's world cup.

I'm sure they're lovely folk, but it's a different game

Jude Bellingham is still a diving bastard and sub Anthony Gordon. Apart from that what a good game. Hard one to call.

I'm watching but struggling to get excited. Pickford playing out from the back putting defenders under pressure, we simply ain't good enough for that. What's his name on right wing makes me sit up , but not much else. Think I'm just a grumpy fcuker. ☹

I speak to loads of footy fans. Nearly all are a bit miffed that the TV companies bring in a girl they've never heard of.

If you are watching a Liverpool game, do you want to hear from an ex Liverpool player, or a girl you've never heard of?

I'm all for equality, but sometimes it doesn't make sense.
