2026 World Cup

And Morocco look like a much better organised team, which is odd, given the oppo is managed by Ancelotti. Brazil obviously have more individually talented players, but it's not helping much.

I know you don’t want to buy players based off of World Cup performances but Ayyoub Bouaddi looks like a real talent, only 18 as well.

Pretty sure we were linked with him last season but he’s going to have a lot of options this summer.

[Tatterdemalion]

Brazil's best player is a GK. Bizarre, really but true.

[Catrin]

Fabinho was deemed not good enough for us what, four years ago? Yet he comes on for Brazil tonight. You’d think they’d have younger options who can run about a bit.

[Buzzo]

So tired.

We were ****e but that’s the first win at a WC since I was 14. You could sense a lot of nerves and responsibility out there.

playing badly and winning > playing well and losing

Tartan army showing up well as ever.

I hope gakpo has a great game, then get him sold.

[Catrin]

This is like watching us last season. Bored ****less.

Seeing them have a hydration break during the match in an airconditioned stadium is a riot.

Two assists for Gravenberch. Great cross for VVD and a nice little bit of skill to get the ball to Summerville.

[Charly]

I kinda feel more affinity for them than England at the moment with no Liverpool players in there.

Anyone watching Yan Diomande at present? I’m trying to watch but I’m taking my Mum to the Doctors.

[Catrin]

Watching on catch-up as forgot it was on. About 20 mins in and decent game so far. Diomande’s passing is good, just created a lovely chance, but his touch looks erratic. He’s very dynamic but untidy.

I just saw the 2nd half & yeah he’s a work in progress but I’d have him at LFC in a heart beat . He switched to the left side after they made a substitution & that defender handled him better but I’d love to see Dio & Rio as our wide forwards with Hugo in the middle.
