Disappointing to hear Danny Murphy repeatedly calling one of the Egyptians “fatty”. He might be a big lad but I thought we were past that sort of lazy trope. #worldcup2026

The World Cup absolutely mogs every other sporting event. It’s what the Olympics wishes it was X100. You’ve got Europeans road-tripping across America and having their minds blown by Buc-ee’s and Bass Pro Shops. You’ve got a small Kansas town falling in love with an Algerian club that chose Kansas City as their homebase. You’ve got South Korea training in Utah to prepare for the altitude in Guadalajara. For one month, the whole world forgets we’re supposed to hate each other over differences that barely matter. It’s the closest thing we have to world peace.

Horrendous seeing this sort of language accurately used on American TV

#Canada are playing like Brazil in the first two thirds of the pitch, and Alan Brazil in the penalty area

This venue in #Toronto doesn’t look like one of the best #WorldCup stadiums that the #USA has to offer. Shame for #Canada to have to play here.

Here’s your #WorldCup drinking game

Even if Pele, Maradona , Messi and Ronaldo were playing I am not paying £648 to watch a football match The game is gone

🚨World Cup Squad Of Crewe Alex Players - Rest Of The World Edition🚨 Last week Tim put out his England squad with #CreweAlex players making up the squad. The next logical step is a rest of the world squad, which Russ has put together! 📝 @FearnRussell wp.me/pdOxr6-2QN

Valid point but I think it will be refreshing to see some of the smaller nations. Personally I’m looking forward to games like Iran v New Zealand & Haiti v Scotland

Considering some of the clubs apparently in for Gibson, it’s a great bit of business. I believe getting players to buy into his vision is one of the manager’s strengths. Promising start to the summer #CreweAlex

RT @theoceanblooms: the other referees should refuse to officiate

Disgraceful. FIFA are pathetic.

If Europe had a spine we’d just pull out of FIFA and this charade.

Lee Dixon and Sam Matterface discuss the “Tall Blacks”

🚨England's World Cup Squad Of Crewe Alex Players🚨 Tim has put together his England squad made up of #CreweAlex players past and present. The rules - must have played for Crewe, but you get them in peak condition from their career! 📝 @SmokeyTimRobbo wp.me/pdOxr6-2R1

#worldcup drinking game

#Matterface and #Dixon still don’t understand why offside isn’t immediately flagged if it’s close. Jesus wept. I’m already sick of them and it hasn’t started yet.

🚨The World Cup Of League Two🚨 What if there was a World Cup for League Two teams based on their results from the first half of the past season? Who would win? Where would #CreweAlex finish? Well, Tim has done the maths for you! 📝 @SmokeyTimRobbo wp.me/pdOxr6-2Qr

Even my daughter came out of school asking if she should chuck it in the bin 😂 #pvfc

Superb piece - well worth a read with a chippy tea #CreweAlex
