at least the bbc matches won't have these nauseating bookie adverts, amongst all the other nauseating stuff.

ITV horrendous already.
Bilic correctly pushing back on the idea that limitations on the number of foreign players, being talked up as great for England by the rest of the panel, is a large part of why the Russian national side is terrible.

Or rather pointing it out, rather than pushing back. It is corroding my brain already.

Hope Solo will be a pundit on RTE this year. I wonder how many games in until Dunphy refers to her as "baby".

He is visually indistinguishable from Morrissey now.
Apparently the sound has stopped working in the fan zone outside so 20,000 people in central Moscow are having a much better time of it than the rest of us.

If Jimmy Page hasn't put a curse on Robbie Williams by now, what's the point of the occult.

Oh shit, I'm watching this on Fox Sports Go and there's one camera angle (from the end behind KSA's goalie), no replays (so I can't see how that goal played out) and no announcers.
