If anyone thought the 48-team World Cup format was a bad idea, an African country with a population of 529,000 just took a point from arguably the favorite to win.
With the most ridiculous xG state I’ve ever seen. This tournament ROCKS.
Spain (2.64) 0-0 (0.28) Cape Verde

From the flat pint to John Stones genitalia jokes & guests who admit they know nothing about football.
I watched James Corden & Rio Ferdinand's World Cup TV show so you didn't have to 😫

🏆 Bosnia is back at the World Cup for the second time in the nation’s history.
🇧🇦 Edin Džeko, the footballing hero of the country saw his nation’s fight for independence from Yugoslavia.

Klopp and Müller analysing World Cup games together might be more entertaining than half the matches themselves.
Safe to say Klopp isn't rushing back into management anytime soon 😭😭
