This is like one of those Where's Wally pics.

Evening, Sparta.

Btw, someone asked earlier if anyone thought it would be a Norway / England QF. Me. I had a betting double of both Norway at 11/1 and England at 7/1 (?) to both win 2-1.

1-0 to Belgium.... my adopted motherland, at least for this game. Wouldn't it be funny if Balogun got sent off again this morning. :-)

All good fun

About to head to bed but gwon Belgium.

Any game where Ronaldo ends up the loser is fine by me.

Dreadful game, excellent result.

Spot any land you’d want to take for your own?

CR is gonna cry again isn’t he…

Get in - finally a goal!!

The Taj Mahal is truly gorgeous, but as with every amazing landmark in India, it takes ages to get from one to the next…

It's certainly looking good atm, I agree.

MPH were you tempted to settle there?

Moth - at least you’ve got the stunning beauty of the Alps though, right…?

Some of these places are best avoided now, sadly - we spent time on a houseboat on Dal Lake, Srinagar in Kashmir, and it’s probably not advisable to go there these days… It’s also a bloody long way by rail from New Delhi…

Agreed but at the time it was likely my only ever opportunity to eyeball them.

Moth - shame really, although from above the Himalayas are just a bumpy white expanse, like some sort of stippled plaster ceiling gone wrong - their scale and height are only truly visible from ground level, unsurprisingly… I think it’s still worth visiting those places today, although they’re obviously much more touristy than they were 45 years ago - local street foods and public transport is the way to go if you can tolerate them…

Disappointing match. looking more and more like it will be a repeat of the last final.

Trigg - this is probably the most boring game I’ve seen of this WC so far despite all the hype around Yamal vs Ronaldo etc… Not sure I’ll even bother watching if it goes to ET!! So boring in fact that I felt obliged to share even more of my tiresome travel tales of yesteryear….

Nearest I got to to the Himalaya was in the 90s on a business trip to Karachi, Bombay & New Dehli. I'd booked a tourist flight on my free week-end to overfly the Everest area.

Nepal is such an amazing place - spent a short while in Kathmandu and Pokhara in early 1982, including a short trek to a lodge that had a long distance view of Mt Everest. It was overcast, so we didn’t see it, but Annapurna was incredible sight (10th highest peak in the world) - not quite as spectacular as Kanchenjunga, the 3rd highest in the world at 8,586 metres, which we saw at sunrise from Tiger Hill in Darjeeling, absolutely incredible!!

The one criticism I’d say about the five live audio is they suppress the crowd noise to allow the commentary to come through better. I’d like to have the radio commentary but the TV crowd noise.

But Trigg, that means you’re missing out on the latest news about Danny Murphy’s cats….

Whoever it was on here who recommended using iPlayer to watch the matches but have the Radio Five commentary - thank you.
