They really are fuck all without Kane. Bellingham lucky to stay on the park. The sooner they meet a team with a decent attack the better.

Doctor Congo were better than I was expecting, and England were worse.

Congo were bollocks second half. A decent side would’ve rinsed England Everyone can relax

England winning now. Kane double. Think they will struggle to get past Mexico playing like this especially at the back.

Ah reckon few rounds o' 'knuckly' would be perfect

Great goal but a bad one to lose if you’re English. Wasn’t even on the counter attack, DR Congo started well.

Ooft .... jist noticed DRC are 1-0 up!

I thought he never had control of the ball although, to be fair, he did actually be available to receive it which is more than can be said for Milanovic. I'd like him to succeed so I suppose, as BigAl says, one more year's wages and a loan out not a big deal.

Hopefully the good Dr. Congo can prescribe a win over England later.

They should put them all on the Krypton Factor and the winner is captain

Watched Mexico v Ecuador game when I got up this morning. Atmosphere in the Azteca was immense in first half and Mexico just blew Ecuador away. They looked a really good team in first half moving the ball with pace and hardly allowing Ecuador a touch. Second half they were not as quick but never in any danger. They will be hard to beat in their home stadium.

Enjoyed both the France and Mexico games today. Some insanely good goals scored. Both teams had so much of the ball and plenty of chances to put more on the boards.

Player-only vote I think.

Aberdeen are to adopt the same model that Arsenal use to choose a captain, according to the P&J. What that is, I don't know. Drawing straws? A ballot? A brawl?

Me and the wife got engaged at the causeway, wasn’t the original plan, but here we are. Loved it, and did our own little tour along the coast, but thankfully we were well and truly outside of marching season. To this day I’m still gutted lush wasn’t open when we were there. Had always been on a hit list of nights out growing up and it wasn’t like it was an area of the world I was likely to frequent again. Still , a great night in harbour bar! Good luck to anyone going to this fixture though.

My mother is from that part of the world so spent a lot of my childhood over there. I was also over in Belfast a few weeks ago for a wedding. So, read carefully, because you won't get this from taxi drivers or tourists boards. Even the locals won't tell you. You need this whether you're staying in Belfast or a little outside. When you get there, everyone will tell you about tayto crisps. Fuck tayto crisps - they're bang average. The crisps you want are hunky dorys. Get the buffalo flavour. Get the big packet. Get a few big packets. Unreal. Have not found them anywhere in Scotland, have too much pride to order them online.

P.S. .. Ah bought a right braw pair o' new boots in Cushendall .... and when we got the aforementioned taxi, Ah put ma boots ... in the boot. Efter gettin drapped aff, A noticed Ah nae longer had ma new boots. Nae probs ... the taxi Co. phone number was displayed on the shelter at the wee train station, and there wis a public phone jist yards awa .... so Ah phoned up, jist a minute or two efter drap-aff ... and wis tellt .. "Sorry, we've contacted the driver, and no boots found" .... bastards! ... but Ah still say Orange bastards!

Back in 1992 .... a relatively peaceful time in Northern Ireland, I got married (in Aiberdeen) on June 26th ... and my newlywed wife and I decided part 1 of our honeymoon would be a week touring the Antrim Glens. Ah'll nae gie ye a blow by blow ... there were many beautiful moments, and a couple of, thankfully brief, shitty moments. The worst tho, was in no way brief! ... it was on the way back on the Sea-Cat. It's now early July ... and as we get to the Sea-Cat terminal, there are armed Garda posted here and there. It occurs to us that we will be travelling to Scotland with an Orange band! It was fucking horrible! The Orange band members were not a problem .... it was the fucking entourage ... mostly guys - late teens to early 20s. For the whole (mercifully short) journey, these guys constantly whistled their ghastly tunes quietly and drummed their fingers on the tables .... the cumulative effect was an atmosphere of pure fucking menace. We were glad to get the fuck off that ferry .... but when going to collect our luggage, it was buried under fucking cases, Orange uniforms and hoorin' big drums .... we were gettin a bit short o' time tae get the train connection back home! ... So my newly wedded lost the plot (or found it?) ... She marched up tae the trolleys, spotted our rucksacks ... chucked all drums cases, uniforms tae fuck, and marched back towards me with a fuckin huge rucksack held up in each hand!! ... Tae say it was impressive is an understatement! Heroic might be accurate. For all that bravado, though, we still missed our fkn train .... and despite splashin' oot on a taxi tae catch the next available connection in ... Girvan? Irvine? ... we missed that one as well. Got hame eventually at some shit hour in the mornin' ... and needless tae say, if Ah thought Ah couldna hate the cunts onymair before, Ah found an upgrade! Best o' luck tae aa Dandies headin' ower .... and a fkn safe journey!

France looking frighteningly good. Some of the football played was a joy to watch.
