Slaven Bilic winding up Ian Wright nicely.

Championship/Leagues 1 and 2 fixture list is out now

Big game tonight, Argentina v Croatia.

I didn't realise that one of the greatest players in their land Luka Modric (Real Madrid and ex-of-Spurs) is facing jail for perjury.

Oh I've made it to The List. I've arrived!

You're approved.

I hope you've got a big stamp to stamp the thread with.

When I was a kid I wanted to work in a post office so I could stamp things

Reporting for crowd shot duty hoping for a good game.

How are the crowd shots? For the Peru game there were some men wearing llama masks

There was a close up of a messi tattoo on some bloke's arm.

This is a game of misses and tackles.

Which pronunciation will prevail by the end of the WOrld Cup, do you think? “V.A.R” or “var “?

'Var' I think

Who does the inept goalie play for?

Auguero taken off and Higuain come on.

Take off Messi. He's not doing anything

Plays or warms the bench?

I've only started watching from shortly before THAT goal.

Argentina are in deep shit.

Their salvation will be the fouling Croats and the diving Argies.

! !

Wow

That should be a straigth red.

This is getting ugly

Soooooo close

great strike

! ! !

Wow.

It's Karma, Diego. It catches up with you, eventually.
