Bandwagon Jumper Morgan.
Totally agree with you Gaz. Couldn't have put it better.

England manage to find some form and go through to the knockout stage to meet Senegal on Sunday evening.
Commiserations to Wales, but it was a great effort qualifying and I'm sure they'll build on this and hit the ground running in their next qualifying campaign for Euro '24.
Phil Foden and Marcus Rashford have to start on Sunday, without question.

Congratulations to England and especially to Mr. Rashford who is a class act. Commiserations to Wales.

After the initial 3 matches of the WC, and not surprisingly no-one predicted the Iran or USA scores, but congratulations to Duds who correctly predicted the Wales - England score.

Poland v Argentina.
Never a penalty in a million years, but what a strong arm that was from Szczesny to deny Messi from the spot - fantastic save.

F.A.O. Graham Souness...
I knew the ball hadn't gone out when I saw the replay from a distance that was level with the goal line, but I know the rules. Besides, I've been f***ed by FIFA so many times with this one it's cemented in my f***ing brain!

Pleased for Cameroon beating Brazil. Great achievement for them and any team.
Good luck to the NL against USA this afternoon.

Agreed, Ceef. While Cloughie would have had a field day with the Cameroon goalkeeper, I really am pleased for him to have been able to keep that clean sheet.
Can someone please remind me why removing your shirt is a yellow card offence? I mean, on what grounds was it outlawed in the game?
While I know it's been that way for a long time now, it's still a nonsense rule and really spoiled Aboubakar's and indeed Cameroon's moment.
It was a great result and a great night for them and their country.

Just heard from a friend that Pele is reported as being on end of life care !
Hope it's not true.

Australia doing so well through discipline and then their defender gets worked up needlessly with Messi and fouls straight from the throw, ultimately leading to the goal coming about. I would be fuming if I was their manager (and am anyway).
Sadly the news on Pele is not good listening to it discussed on TV. Thoughts with his loved ones.
