    Why do commentators always call him 'LeeOnEl' Messi when he's named after Lionel Richie? :confused

    Messi's last 2 assists have been 2 of the greatest ever. 2 different types

    £14m for Alvarez bubbling under nicely while spotlight on Haaland.

    Maybe it's the technically correct Spanish pronunciation or something? Like how commentators always had to call Ginola Dav-id not Dayvid.

    I think the issue with the decision, and Walton's defence of it, is that they are both based on an incorrect assumption that Livakovic is trying to challenge for possession of the ball at the point when Alvarez strikes it towards goal. For me, and I have watched it back, he is standing his ground with the intent of either blocking the shot or making it as difficult as possible for Alvarez to hit the target. If that decision is given against England or any of our club teams, we would be livid about it.

    After a slow start easy for Argentina.

    Messi excellent again.

    Mind you they do seem to get a penalty each game which helps!

    No, France will win it. Not sure what's worse though.

    A tape worm has more class than Ronaldo.

    And Modric is a legend, one of my favourite players. No surpriae to see him gracious in defeat.
