Yeah Portugal only come into it if we finish 2nd.

Beeb are showing Colombia as K winners but I would expect Portugal to beat them later, which would mean us playing Colombia, if we finish 2nd. Means moving into top half of draw where France, Spain & Netherlands will be lurking

It would be funny to see Ronaldo cry though

Senegal or Congo if we win group I think

Oh gawd please don’t be Portugal. Bad memories

I think it’s either Senegal or Portugal next for England depending on how tonight goes.

Beeb forecast now has us playing de facto African champions, Senegal in R32, doubtless more changes in remaining 24h

OI there is causality if it psychologically impacts the players when they find out they are on ITV ;-)

nick is absolutely right about the correlation going back to the 1990s for BBC/ITV (what happened before?). The dodgy, if fun, bit is suggesting causality that it will continue into the future.

Airsy I can’t be arsed to find more up to date figures but between 1998 and 2022 BBC showed 17 England games 13 of which were wins and 3 losses . In the same period ITV showed 17 of which 3 were wins and 8 were losses.

Ignore that post , a bit of brain fog going on.

Phil has promised extra fans but I don't think the turnout wiill be good.

Airsy: Well that's corruption in football cleaned up.

Dull-fest...

You mean that ITV curse that had the Croatia game compared to the BBC full-fest of the Ghana one😉

Infantino working out a way to have a massive World Cup now that he's evened the numbers up [Link]

Well done to Cape Verde, though I think the Argies will likely give them a good hiding in the next round. Ps, Scotland move up to 9th in the 3rd place table and could be up to 8th if Austria can beat Algeria by 2 goals later. Tonight's results also means England will definitely go through to the next round.

Expecting the ITV curse to mean that our game tomorrow will be a 0-0 bore

They had a heroic 1-0 win over Haiti didn’t they?

Scotland were so crap in all 3 games. For the integrity of the tournament they need to go out otherwise it’s a joke !!

They need snooker now. Still Algeria and possibly Croatia above them who could get worse GDs but three below them who could improve their positions

Senegal 3-0 up now and AAH subbed not good for Scotland

Looks like it's Start The Plane for Scotland...

Morrison looks like a great addition to the coaching team, really decent career working with some excellent people too.

OI- thats a bit cynical even for me :-)
