I'd be pleasantly surprised if there as many as three goals in the final, it's been a while since a proper two-sided goalfest. Modric was a joy to watch from the second half onwards last night, even if he looks like a witch and then moaned about the media saying that a team falling over with...

Going by the Irish eligibility as a guide, I'd qualify for a Scottish passport so if they ever did go independent and were part of the EU I'd apply. Can't give up that free data roaming on holiday now.

There's not much in the way of actual hate for the English as a whole, they do like to see our national team fail though as it's the only involvement they get in tournament football.

We watched the first episode and really liked it, feels like a proper slow burner. Pick up little elements of other shows in there too, The Sinner with the flashbacks and Bloodline for the mad sweatiness everywhere.

Croatia have a wealth of experience and know how to both chase a game down and close one out, we don't yet. Colombia were quarter-finalists last time and tipped as dark horses, Sweden saw their way past Holland, Italy and Germany to get as far as they did. It wasn't as daunting as facing Brazil...

Strange how the harder you work the luckier you get.

Oh right, so nothing.

What makes Southgate a mercenary?

Most importantly:

At the One Love Manchester concert in tribute to the victims of the bombing, Ariana Grande managed to sneak in her song about being too sore to walk after sex.

At the quarter-final stage of the tournament, there were more players in the eight squads who have appeared for Sunderland than either Real Madrid or Juventus.

Worth a try, we've got nothing Toulouse

I'm an optimist generally. Whatever it is, I tend to think it'll end up alright and so far that's largely been the case. Could be worse and all that.

Juventus were done as part of the Calciopoli thing in 2006 and I think they've kept their nose clean since. They were supposed to get relegated and be docked a shedload of points along with Lazio and Fiorentina, but only Juve went down after appeal and they all managed to get fewer points...

Woah I always had Wyken as starting basically once you're past the Forum, I was miles off. I always claimed to live in Stoke but going on the polling maps I was one block inside Hillfields, which explains my street smarts and rough edge.

How far exactly does Stoke extend to?

Not surprised that Warwick has stopped bothering, there were some dickheads who threw stuff at Colombian students last week and people getting caught in a crossfire of cans and bottles They should stick to proper usage, like Mario Kart

I've enjoyed Ally McCoist and John Champion as a commentary pair. You can tell they're old pals and you get a little guide of the city by McCoist as a bonus.

Saw a lovely instance on campus of everyone watching the Colombia game on the piazza including a small number of Colombian fans who started getting bottles and cans thrown at them when they equalised, recorded for posterity by a English girl in a wheelchair who happened to be near them but was...
