They're nervous every time Saka gets the ball.

You beauty!

Shown them way too much respect.

Fully deserved.

Amrabat one of the top three players of the tournament so far.

Not sure if it’s a mistake but ITV have Morocco abbreviated to MAR at the top of the tv

Morocco is the Anglicised spelling.

Presume they had Esp for Spain, if not, bit weird.

Morocco been very good again.

Portugal have resorted to their usual tactic of falling over and throwing throwing arms up in the air.

McGoldrick. 

Thanks.

Would never have guessed that tbh.

Never known another Dave be referred to as Didzy but that's footballers for you I guess.

Can someone tell me who the feck Didz/Didzy is?

15 yellows.

Hopefully the last we'll see of that ref.

Think the Argies deserved to go through but they're a bloody horrible team.

Lovely stuff.

That was a great goal tbf.

Antony trying to take Neymar's crown as king of the mard-arses.

Croatia's midfield absolutely running the show.

Brazil might get away with playing 2 midfielders against South Korea and Switzerland but they have to match Modric, Kovacic and Brozovic surely?

Fascinating tactically.

Mucho crispy the last three days. It'll be off. Stay under the duvet and enjoy the thought of not having to go to Burton.

I love me some of big Mich's. No pretence of being a tactical expert a la Ferdinand, Neville, Carragher et. al) just an ex-players view with a sense of humour.

He's similar to how Wrighty was when he started out - big personality but in danger of being used just for weak laughs.

But when you've got about 3 minutes to actually discuss the football, it can only be surface level anyway, so no point taking it as earnestly as Jenas, Ferdinand and Neville do for example. All of whom are such tactical geniuses they choose the easy option of the sofa rather than the dugout.

And the government have just approved the first new coal mine in 30 years

It's almost like they don't know what they are doing

It's almost as if a Government can say they have a net zero policy in the hope that the people who vote for them hear this sound bite and think "yes, I shall vote Tory again, at least they're doing something about the environment" whilst at the same time taking actions that go completely against that policy, in the hope that the people who vote for them hear this news and think "well this must be because of that Putin fella, at least it'll create some jobs in the North". 

Then when the other side get in in two years and want to be seen to be green, they'll not be able to because someone will demand they commit to closing down the coal mine to show their green credentials, which they won't be able to because it'll cost a load of jobs in the North.

Connecting the dots isn't the electorates strong point, so it's probably a win for the Government. Bloody politics.

Husband, father, beloved Bamford.

Go out and see what you can find.

If her daddy's poor, just do what you feel.

Happy birthday sweet sixteen

Reflective of their times but man, people were messed up back in the day when it came to young women (and drink driving in Mungo Jerry's case). Can see why certain attitudes pervade society even today, when these are all pretty well known songs that you probably wouldn't have batted an eyelid to the lyrics to at the time. Probably some people even now.

Also, @Animal is a Ram to player your game- the star after pressing unlock line is Arctic Monkeys, View from the Afternoon. 

Not sure about the other.

I always assumed the half of the population who didn't watch the semi-final of Euro 96 were all 'Rugger' types and folk without electricity. 

Now we know it was actually football fans who would cheer their club in an under 8's game rather than support the national team.

I mean, fair play to them I guess.

Seen this on twitter, so thought I’d bring it to the forum. If you could only choose one team to win on Saturday, would it be Derby or England?

For me, the answer is easy. I’d much rather England beat France in a World Cup Final and have the whole country go mad than Derby win a random league game.

Did they just decide we were the two best teams left and told everyone else to go home?

But yeah England all day.

England winning the World Cup is only beaten by Derby winning the Prem/FA Cup/any European Trophy.

As we're not realistically competing for any of them, our games have taken a back seat until England go out.

Local news.

The UK is tiny, all news is local.

Football cameramen who pick out kids crying when their team has lost. Come on lads, these have got to go to school and face their friends after that.

Should be picking out all the grown men crying about it.

Immense from the Morocco keeper.

If Morocco had a striker they'd be decent.

What's it got to do with her being a woman? She made a mistake and people are having a laugh about it. Lighten up Ian. People do this all the time. Are you not aware of how people take the piss out of Michael Owen's punditry.

He's probably referring to comments such as the one that says:

"Can't drive, can't swim and now can't add up".

Rather than something like "Maths lesson for Eni!", which lets face it is the sort of thing Souness would have got if it was his mistake.
