Spain: 63 passes across the back four, a pass into midfield, returned to the defence, another 49 passes across the park, repeat for 12 minutes at a time. Anti-football?

Come on Russia! Can't stand Spain and their bloody Jean-Claud Juncker football.

Pride comes before a fall. Anyway, I've seen the games you still have to play and reckon my run in is considerably easier. Quietly confident. ?

What points do you think are needed to be safe from relegation?

I believe the Ashley contract expires 31st July

1. Bobby Russell in Eindhoven 2. Sandy Jardine v Bayern Munich. 3. Albertz New Year free kick v Celtic

I’m surprised Kenny has the time, what with the serialised DR special to prepare - “My nightmare at Ibrox”

There are some players at Celtic who are worth some money. Boyata certainly isn't one of them.

I'm conflicted on today's games. Ideally France and Argentina would both lose, with Uruguay and Portugal both going through. Can't see it but with VAR anything seems possible.

Much depends on the attitude and stamina of the wide men and their willingness to do their defensive shift. Otherwise I think you're spot on about the futility of trying to win games with 4 at the back in Scotland.

I like Windass but I find it hard to believe he’s what SG wants in his team right now.

France 1 - 2 Argentina Uruguay 1 - 0 Portugal Spain 2 - 1 Russia Croatia 1 - 0 Denmark  Brazil 2 - 1 Mexico Belgium 4 - 0 Japan  Sweden 1 - 1 Switzerland Colombia 0 - 1 England 

At least

I always assumed the Gullane sand dunes business was as much about mental toughness and team bonding as physical fitness.

Whatever next .... JEREMY Corbyn’s man in Brussels has declared he will be cheering on BELGIUM in tonight’s World Cup showdown against England. Hardcore remainer and Labour’s leader in the European Parliament Richard Corbett described the contest as a “vulgar tournament to prove our superiority” adding “come on Belgium!” https://www.thesun.co.uk/world-cup-2018/6643893/labour-mep-says-he-will-be-cheering-on-belgium-when-they-play-england-tonight/

Not so fast mister, there’s a few of us still vying for that accolade ??

If England won the WC we'd never hear the end of it. They're still going on about 1966. I mean, who keeps going on and on about something that happened so long ago?

Krauts out at the first stage for the first time since Hitler was in power. How nice ?

I've got to stop copying your predictions ?

You know sweetheart, you're just don't seem happy at all. It's just one outburst after another today and, much as I enjoy the attention, maybe you should find help to calm that angry little chimp inside your head. ?

I’ve no preference at all who wins the WC but wouldn’t mind seeing Senegal go out. I’ve nothing against them but it would make it a clean sweep of African teams and piss on the BBC’s love affair with everything African. I’ve never forgotten the extreme & blatant bias in BBC commentary at a previous WC involving Ghana.

Let me deflect no more - it’s a true honour to be disparaged by a master. I consider myself thoroughly policed and admonished. How great thou art.

Did I say I didn't want to post it? Anyway, I'm glad you managed to find it all by yourself sweetheart. It's also good to see you get such pleasure from being a forum monitor. If it was up to me I'd make you an admin for sure ... and give you a big shiny badge to polish every day.

It’s still not called English football.

Always. And as we know, there's nothing political about FIFA ??
