    I didn't see any of the England game today. Were the Cameroonians ROBBED or did they have a meltdown?

    They melted down inside 15 minutes and then stropped for the remaining 90.

    He's obviously claiming hand ball, but I don't see the issue as he's so in the moment and trying to score he doesn't care what position the player trying to stop him is playing.

    I read a piece only a few days ago that sportsmen who appeal for everything, handballs, throw ins etc, do actually genuinely believe it is theirs and not trying to gain an advantage. It's something to do with the mind.

    Currently watching Javier Aguirre's Egypt (and why not) stink the place out against DR Congo. 21 minutes in and Salah has given the ball away every single time he's had it.

    I enjoyed watching Dr Congo time wasting from about the 3rd minute until the 8th, whereupon they realised they might just be the better side.

    Oh, goal for Egypt.

    Salah looking for a pen just there as well.

    Cracking organisation letting Salah get a double up on the corner and allowing him to cut to exactly where he likes to shoot from.

    Elmohamady is a bit of a geezer, he strikes me as one of life's troopers.

    I see the doctors have a German 'play-it-out-from-ze-back' centre half so they're probably doomed to a 3-0 defeat.

    The play it from the back stuff was already shit when Lavolpe (who still has yet to win anything) was doing it in the nineties.

    Tresor Mputu is one of my favourite footballers, mainly because of this:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1CBuJm04dY

    You can even spot that mad bouncing keeper they used to have unsuccessfully trying to hold him back.

    An example I've seen is "highest ever international goalscorers" and all the top ones are women.

    It's jarring at first but to be honest if/when womens football becomes more competitive across the board the highest scorers will probably seem like an anomaly in the womens game too once it's not just much more organised and professional teams smashing no-marks about.

    It's just tiresome. I don't know why women's sport can't just be enjoyed on its own terms. It's quite entertaining for the most part (the football that is). It doesn't need some forced, and frankly false, equivalence with the men's game.

    Sue Smith

    Former England forward on BBC One

    That's bravery and confidence from Nikita Parris. She had her last penalty saved but she's brave to step up.

    It's a good save. She saved one in the shootout against Australia. She's good at saving penalties.

    Agree entirely. It's patronising in the extreme.

    Saw it the other day on Marta being the all time top goalscorer in world cups across both genders. They're different competitions ffs.

    The men on the BBC are constantly referencing male footballers. Which I get that that's what they know but is that really what people promoting the womens game want? Or do they want to make people who don't normally relate to it by going "Oh whatserface is actually a bit of a Shearer-type striker for the team...."

    It doesn't seem like it'd be that hard to educate people on it. Player X reminds fans of the team of Player Y off've the past, [brief highlight reel of both], job done.

    As has been said they're just desperately going "Oh it's just as good! Honest!" When I've found an evenly-matched game I've enjoyed what I've seen of the World Cup so far.

    Helps England won, but tonight's game was good.

    Reminds me of when the BBC briefly had Women's Football under Football and headlines like Chelsea beat Man City 3-0 (when the men weren't even playing) were just confusing as fuck.

    Yeah, it's all very 'well done, you' or 'Ah, you'll get it next time'. If a player sells someone short because their pass was bollocks, I expect to hear something like that in the commentary.

    From what I've seen England seem to be exclusively winning in a way that you'd be fucking seething about if it were Football Manager. Norway should've have, what, two tonight? Three?

    Not that it matters if you do it all the way to the final but I've a horrible feeling we're going to hit the USA or whoever and get properly roasted.

    The commentator in the Brazil-Paraguay game kept calling Firmino, Firminio, and it was very irritating. I mean, you are paid to know this shit.

    That one always baffles me. There is literally nothing in the word 'Firmino' to suggest a y sound at the end.

    Morocco - Ivory Coast has been rubbish.

    Morocco are by far the better side, but I can't bring myself to root for them because they spend so much time writhing on the ground.

    Tried a bit of this but, as little as I'd care if I was watching France and the USA play in the real stuff, it still massively dwarfs how much I care about this.

    Amr Warda was sent home by Egypt for sending shit like this to loads of women:



    Salah has come out and said he's actually an alright bloke and they've recalled him just two days later.

    One of the worst parts of my trip to Egypt was the men, it made even me feel uneasy. I swear I could (and should) have sold Banana with ease.
