Really enjoyable game, Lewandowski wraps it up for Poland but the Saudi's have been decent. Really pleased for the Poles, have good friends there and have visited many times. Lovely country and people.

Awful game and he scored the type of goal he has done so many times. One touch, very little blacklift and early strike into the bottom corner. Lightning fast execution. You could feel the relief. Huge pressure lifted.

Tomiyasu could be turning into another Rosicky unfortunately.

The other half is Polish so I am following them. Gonna be tight it that group.

Uncertain how serious the injury is - hopefully not very. The Japanese just lost to Costa Rica, surprisingly. Hopefully the Spanish beat them too and knock them out, so Tomiyasu can get back to us.

I hope they get through and if so I'll toast them with a shot or two of the bison grass wódka

It’s more that it seems to be an ongoing recurring situation, just like Rosicky.

He seems to have had 3 years of reoccurring calf injuries now.

Class player but there’s a massive question mark there.

Rumor Inter Miami, Becks' team will make a massive bid for cristiano. I called it a while back he would go to MLS, but thought LA Galaxy.

Brilliant technique - reminded me of one he got against United in the ECL.

Respect the Moroccans
Played very bravely

Messi makes goals from outside the box look so effortless and easy. In the history of the game I've never seen anyone come close to him for the regularity and quality of goals scored from outside the box in open play.

I wonder what others think of Tielemans in the WC. I thought his defensive deficiencies have been exposed a number of times. It tends to accord with some reviews before the season I heard on podcasts. I am not sure he is a fit for the club.

Hard to tell in a typically shambolic Martinez side when it comes to defence. But I don't think he's a massive upgrade to what we already have anyway.

Onto Portugal, we've got Ronaldo claiming goals he hasn't even scored while Fernandes continues to prove he's a total tosser.

Also Fat Ronaldo looks like he's continuing on his journey to weighing about 150kg.

Hey Rog how you holding up?

Thanx for asking - yes I'm here.

I don't know what to do now though. I'm just watching TV right now - Some doco on the Titanic.

My motivation to do anything has waned somewhat.

Azinoz dropped in on Friday and spoke to myself and Steves dad John which was nice.

You just know Southgate is gonna drop Bukayo to slot in Foden don’t you.

I read earlier there’s a chance he might drop Bellingham to play Henderson. Not Maddison or Gallagher.

He’s going to go for a point again isn’t he.
