Vladimir Vladimirovich's at the wheel

Big up that little fella at the back

Budweiser will give the winning country all the beer prepared for the #QatarWorldCup2022 worth of €75 million.

It is also expected that the company will sue FIFA for breach of contract - the sale of beer was banned a few days before the start of the championship. pic.twitter.com/x5uq1GhMIM

75 million euros worth, so that's one of those cases then?

imagine if the winning country had to pick up the shipping costs of 75 mill worth of Budweiser!

far as i know they're still allowed to sell the alcohol-free, so i'm getting strong "Duff spokesman when Springfield introduced prohibition" vibes from these lads

ooooooof

gonna be a long half...

ludicrous from the Iran coaching and medical staff

hey jude

Such an easy header. Excited to see what happens with Bellingham, he seems like such a talent but I don’t really keep up with German football anymore.

Fair play to England, haven't seen this kind of performance from them in an age

Sakaaaaaa!!!!

Raheem Sterling’s hairline gets further away from view every time I see him

That was a beaut, my Bad Raheem

Much better than I expected. Particularly delighted about which players are scoring (and assisting) these also.

I wonder what extent this occurring mid season means that in form players are still very much in form and replicating their club best

There is a good fluidity about the team, more direct when they need to be too. Iran's heads dropped early tho tbf

Doesn't help when you fuck up a clear chance like that tho

first time I've seen the clock tick over into the 59th minute during the 1st half

Wonder if Iran have also been demoralised even before kick-off given what's been happening.

That’s all very well for them but I’d like to see them demonstrate such dignified bravery in the face of a possible yellow card https://t.co/CyfRWsAnif

Belgium's away shirt had the word "LOVE" on it:

It won't be there anymore.

I like that second kit and hope they wear it but the flames remain dreadful.

they're inspired by the Tomorrowland dance festival's fireworks apparently

well well

nah. 'well well' if they score two more

well well worked at least

RASH

GREALISH

6-1 and Maguire injured. Doesn't get much better.

GudVar time!

Excited for this VAR lottery at every set piece for the rest of the tournament

dive. but the shirt pulling gave him an excuse

(xp) Also for each game to last two hours.

Good save from Pickford just before the penalty. Could easily have been 8-3 the way the game went.

total of 26 minutes added time in that game

that's a lot...

imagine that in the turgid 0-0 I thought this had a real chance of being

Poor Cody Gakpo they got his name wrong on the official line-up graphics

go Senegal!

Really good game this

very open

2nd half a bit low energy. 0-0 all over this.

I fear the Dutch will steal this late on - just a feeling (not really sure what I want here as an Englander but will be interesting to see how both do vs Ecuador).

there it is
