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.

It’s 28 years since The Greatest Scissor Kick Of All Time. David Batty vs Tunisia at France 98. You can’t coach technique like that.

Reminds me of Barney Ronay’s review of Tim Lovejoy’s book
📺 Ladies & gentlemen, I've glimpsed the 10th circle of TV hell... 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 😫 inews.co.uk/sport/football/j…

🏆 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. 📘 Chris Etchingham’s “Emancipation for Goalposts” tells us how it got to that point.

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 😭😭

This is nuts, you have to have a brain the size of a lorry to be a ref and remember all these tiny intangibles of the rules
Wondering why the VAR did not step in to give South Africa a corner at the end of the first half? #MEXRSA
