Someone check on Westy.

F*cking hell. Imagine how miserable you have to be to not take any pleasure out of last night. Why bother even watching football?

What just happened.

Think it's been great so far. Enjoying it much more than I expected.

Oh, ignore me, looks like they've put him back in after taking him out the squad earlier today.

I don't think Salah's playing pal.

Not have his arm in the air?

Honestly never thought I'd see the day where someone was willingly requesting MORE Robbie Savage.

I'm sorry if I upset you my darling snowflake

Surely you remembered to block out your diary for each afternoon during the WC....

Can't wait for westy to rock up and explain how this isn't actually racist.

Wait, what? You mean none of you are having a World Cup Pizza Party and a screening of the game...?! *leaves thread*

I'm actually quite tempted by Saudi tomorrow...

Tbf Portugal have done nothing to suggest they're going to steamroll Wales. No reason at all to dismiss their chances that flippantly.

2010 was god awful. Don't remember 2002 being that bad. WC 94 probably my fave! This has been a pretty awful tournament though. Group stages weren't too bad but it's gone downhill fast.

Ha, thanks! Unlikely...but not impossible! This has classic England written all over it.

Is there any way of us crashing out tonight?

This tbh. He was a prat when we employed him when I was at ESPN. Does zero research before a match, shows up and then can't even string together actual sentences. Only used him because he's cheap. Same for Keown.

You sound cheery.

I'm not totally against Roy, but starting Sterling today was just unforgivable. He's really been utterly horrendous in both games so far and should never have been in the starting line-up today.

I cannot believe he's started Sterling again. I really can't. Baffled.

Hennessey, Gunter, Taylor, Davies, Chester, Williams, Allen, Robson-Kanu, Ramsey, Bale, Ledley.

Hart, Walker, Cahill, Smalling, Rose, Alli, Dier, Rooney, Sterling, Kane, Lallana.

You can sort of perhaps have some level of understanding when it's drunken teenagers / lads in their 20's who have drunk too much and get caught up in it. But when you see pictures of middle-aged blokes in their 40's and 50's out there behaving like this it's just a bit sad and pathetic. Grow up. You probably haven't got that long left to live so just enjoy a bit of footie and a holiday.

Ffs I mean really, what is the point in setting off fire crackers?? Just have a beer and enjoy not being at work.
