Almost time for hydration break - it’ll be the highlight of the game so far….

Spartan, given the officials are predominantly Argentinian, I'd say your bet looks pretty good,

I remember seeing chocolate covered ants in Harrods food area have loads of protein I think but that film them from the 50s frightened me great film

England thrash India in the T20I again. Wonder how many Indian fans in the ground at the end.

I’m not feeling the Morocco win tonight like I felt the Egyptians to beat Argentina.

WW - I posted the death of RT on here 16th June. Obviously the pigeons are slower over your way.

I've got quid on Morocco beating France 3-2 at 40/1. I do think that if France are going to lose, Morocco could well be the team to do it.

I hate watching doubles tennis these days. Both sets of players seem to have to fist bump after every point, win or lose. Does my head in.

For P99. I presume this isn't a late April Fools. [Link]

Wrexham - we were talking about that a week or so ago.

richaed teale its been announced that he has passed away at 74

Apparently if Argentina reach the World Cup final, Michael Oliver would be disqualified from refereeing the match because of the Falklands War, which ended three years before Oliver was born.

Fixing It For Argentina, surely not.

A 2 game ban for a mistimed tackle vs effectively no ban for something not hugely dissimilar - Two Gear Gianni in action…. The sooner these corrupt weirdos are out of the game, the better!!

It was a bad tackle but I don’t think there was any bad intent there he just got it wrong.

Quansah banned for 2 matches.

It’s flying ants day on the south coast

There’s a payload or five heading towards the Middle East right now. Lot of big heavy bombers taking off.

They were. They’re underdogs for this fixture but they’re no minnows.

Weren't Morocco semifinalists in the last WC?

I see Starmer has hinted at a bank holiday should England win as well - so another nail in the coffin of hope.

Morocco being ranked 7th means that it would not be that massive an upset if they beat France. I know ranking don't mean a lot, especially when it comes to knock-out football, but they are hardly minnows.

Shearer jinxes England chances of winning the World Cup… [Link]

Hash - that’s very true.

I tend to think that the top four ranked countries will proceed to semi finals. So Spain vs France & Argentina vs England. On paper, the weakest of the four standing against them is Norway (31), then it's Belgium (9), Morocco (7), Swiss (19)
