Big Dunc always sounds like he's had a few pints already. :-)

Lucky things will change as the current BBC prediction has France, Germany, Spain, England, Portugal, Belgium, Brazil and Argentina all in the same half of the draw

Tonight’s interesting fact* is that ITV’s pundit Duncan “Big Dunc” Ferguson holds the joint record for Premier League red cards. 8 red cards, same as Patrick Viera and yes you’ve guessed it incorrectly Richard Dunne. Apparently one of his nicknames which is brilliant but I never heard it before is “Duncan Disorderly.” Everyone’s favourite nutter Vinne was sent off 12 times in his career but due to a quirk in timing only 7 of those occurred in Premier League games. Big Dunc seems ok as a pundit. Happily have a pint with him.

Puts you on your back, Fashanu,..

nick - Quartermaster's stores looks like it fits.

Tues & Weds look to be the brutal bit of Heatwave #2, but I suspect it will go on longer as these things normally do. Mid 30s with little breeze in South-East

Anyone guess the tune😂😂😂😂😂

Apparently England fans are to be removed from the stadium if they persist with a certain song about the American President…….Football songs are savage!!! He’s fat, got piles, He’s in the Epstein files, He’s a C***, Trumps a C***. Small hands, small Di*k He’s a fucking lunatic, He’s a C*** Trumps a C*** A pig, A rat His neck looks like a twa* He’s a C***, Trumps C***. Half Mad, half dead, What’s that on his head? He’s a C***, Trumps a C***

Isak cost almost 10 times the price Sunderland paid for Brobbey. I think I know where the value lies.

Merlin getting some love in Mexico [Link]

The Iran v NZ game is still the best game I've seen.

Dutch do look very good but I doubt better teams will let them play like this

Dutch kit looks more red than orange to me. Blood orange at best. I wonder what Isak’s value is these days, Newcastle did some good business there

It's a very entertaining "english" style game.

Netherlands v Sweden a good game but need Sweden to get a goal back

Sandy, maybe some compensation for you personally, that they are at least playing like Wimbledon

BTW if you do not want to listen to Shearer - I think someone complained about it previously - you watch the game on the red button with the 5 Live commentary where you can listen to Chris Sutton

Swedes probably need shades to cope with that bright orange!

Goal for the Neds but I can’t understand why the Swedish defender didn’t attempt to play the ball. Not sure he’d have even had to slide.

I think you probably need two TVs side by side and then maybe you’d be able to see the difference 🤷‍♂️

Disappointed the Swedes are not playing in Wimbledon colours!

Haven't tried that yet Trigs. Probs won't bother now!

Well wow I’m watching the Netherlands v Sweden in Ultra HD courtesy of the iPlayer app on my TV. Can’t tell any difference.

Well the rugby final wasn't close to the standards of the two semi-finals but well done Northampton.
