I don’t follow football as much as I used to so the rules might have changed but how was that not a penalty for the “challenge” on Mbappe?! #FRASEN

I realise this won’t be a view many share but, sometimes, I love seeing underdogs get hammered in football. Nothing against them personally but just to piss on the parade of the excitable pundits and commentators and alleged neutrals… #WorldCup #GERCUW

I got Qatar (and Ghana) in our work World Cup sweepstake. Today, Qatar got their first ever point in the World Cup. That’s what they call the “Gurdo Effect”… #WorldCup #Qatar #Switzerland

Big Dunc is the best pundit of all time. Even if he isn’t, I’m not saying otherwise… #duncanferguson #WorldCup #bigDunc

Brazil kick off their World Cup campaign tonight. Impossible not to get caught up in the whirlwind of skill and romance they have always brought to tournaments with icons such as Pele, Garrincha, Zico, Socrates, Romario, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Gurdinho…legends! #worldcup #brazil

Mexico 86 is the first World Cup I remember watching. I was a few weeks shy of my 10th birthday and I was so excited. It remains the best I ever watched. Today’s Mexican World Cup version isn’t the same. The TV pictures are clear for a start! It’s a shame we gotta get old, man…

They’re giving away cans of Peroni in Birmingham city centre. It’s non-alcoholic. I just don’t like that attitude… #peroni #birmingham

Commiserations to Arsenal. I feel their pain. I’ve recently discovered a version of Championship Manager 93 and my Arsenal team lost to PSV on away goals in the European Cup second round. My pain is worse, I reckon, as my team actually tried to win properly… #arsenal #PSGvARS

My man Shreyas with the same team took us a mid table Punjab team to finals, made us dream & believe & after a few bad games so much mud slinging from certain sections on either sides..deplorable! Don't wash your dirty linen in public! It's not over, until it's over! #PBKS
