What a cluster buck.

I am not a football fan but do watch the football twice every four years. Didn’t stay up for last nights game. 2 pm is just too late. Just wasted 40 minutes trying to get to watch the highlights.

Next game is England versus Norway at stupid hour. Why not have it at a daylight hour for the Americas and evening for the countries that will actually watch it.? 

It is a red card from me but it will probably get overridden by the orange one. Bastardos.

Anyway here goes Spain versus Portugal

Norway v England is 10 o'clock on Saturday evening, hardly stupid o'clock. In fact, it's a rather good time.

11 pm for us. Better than 2 am but not ideal.

Same for Norway. Rubbish time.

Playing a game with a 'good' European start time of (say) 8pm in the evening means a US start time of somewhere between noon and 3pm US time (depending which city). That's the hottest part of the day

Should have moved to the Canaries if you wanted it at 10 pm

Zackly. And people forget the effect of altitude in Mexico City as well. Not sure which US cities are hosting because I haven't given any of it a second , or first for.that matter, thought.

World XI beat USA anyway. Good 

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

It looks as though USA are out of the  competition. However, a phone call from Trump could still see them win the world cup.

Jarell Quansah the England defender who got sent off in the England v Mexico game has had his one match ban increased to two matches!

Apparently Starmer phoned FIFA!     

[Sir Tigger KC]

Well hopefully it can go back to being a game of two halves now.

Well, 2 halves, followed by a bit of "Argie Afters"

It was nice to see the filthy dirty cheating bastids get beaten.
Pity the England France game wasnt the final. It would have been the most classic final ever.

I turned it off in disgust when France scored their third goal in the early part of the second half, convinced that England were snatching defeat from the jaws of victory again!
