Hahaha. That Olive assist and Mbappe finish was wild.

Not to take away anything away from the win but Swedens manager is tactical genius Graham Potter.

Woke up for the second half of the Mexico game earlier. The atmosphere in that ground looks incredible. Are the USA due to meet Mexico? Would love to see Mexico batter them lol

voodoo · July 1, 2026, 6:16am

It’s England that are due to meet them there right?

baconisgoodforme · July 1, 2026, 6:33am

Oh shit! yeah just looked and seems that way.

Mexico are yet to concede at this World Cup, impressive.

So DRC are gonna park the bus for at least the first half. I hope we can score early in this one and make them come at us a bit more leading to two goal lead

voodoo · July 1, 2026, 1:58pm

If they want to park the bus, England need to get as many corners as they can.

Low Block FC vs Set Piece United.

Time for a bit of Dan Burn.

I can hear the Congo bus beeping as it reverses onto the goal line when I close my eyes!

Will be a tough game for sure. Congo drew with Portugal, so they’re no mugs.

I’ve had to go to my bristol office. On the bus now but wont get home till at least half time. At least they let me leave an hour and half early. Can’t complain too much i suppose.

How many 5pm kick offs have there, and will there be?! Feels like maybe Germany Curacao was 5pm possibly and that’s about it.

This game is going to be a grim watch.

Please no pens, do it in the 90mins Please!!!

voodoo · July 1, 2026, 4:07pm

FFS!!! … .. .

nazoreth · July 1, 2026, 4:07pm

Park the bus yeah? Think English pundits may have underestimated Congo a tad

baconisgoodforme · July 1, 2026, 4:10pm

Well yeah classic on the break goal and in the first ten mins it’s always more open. Early days. Still prefer this to sitting on a one nil lead all game

voodoo · July 1, 2026, 4:12pm

Pickford had the corner covered, shouldn’t have gone in.

Garlicnaan · July 1, 2026, 4:17pm

Away from the World Cup you couldn’t make this up.

Surely forrest is beneath Glasner

baconisgoodforme · July 1, 2026, 4:20pm

Not at the moment babes

ihatethegeneralpublic · July 1, 2026, 4:22pm

England having a real mare at the back, I’d hoped that area might start to gel a bit more and improve but no.

Still, only one goal down.
