You still planning on staying up. I might join you if I can.

This is so dull I’m actually thinking of rewatching last night’s instead

😆 🤣 good idea

It is a bit dull, but one thing struck me, I thought there might be a bit of thuggery, but there really hasn't been anything too untoward thus fair. English ref an improvement on some we've seen.

Paraguayan senator Celeste Amarilla wrote on X about Mbappé: “This brute didn’t even learn to write; instead of mother’s milk, he sucked on coconuts, and the most educated thing he heard were chimpanzees. You should’ve shown him the finger, Orlando Gill; I do it in the senate and nothing happens!!!”

Mbappé responded:
"Madame Celeste Amarilla, You are a despicable woman and unworthy of your position. You do not represent Paraguay, that country which has sweated passion and honour throughout the competition. Through your recklessness and your brazen racism, the entire world has already forgotten the journey and the historic effort that your players accomplished during this World Cup, making way for an incompetent woman who gives the worst possible image of her country. I will never allow people like her the freedom to spread their hatred and racism across the world."

This was all because Mbappé celebrated next to the Paraguay goalkeeper, Orlando Gill, at full time.

@placemats wtaf. I’m speechless

HaroldMeaker · 06/07/2026 21:08

Very classy response from Mbappé though

the80sweregreat · 06/07/2026 21:14

Even the crowd seem a bit muted.

Will do my best. Some of these footballers have fantastic physiques, BTW 😛

IcedPurple · 06/07/2026 21:21

Still dull as dishwater.

IAmKerplunk · 06/07/2026 21:21

They really do - but I miss the shorter shorts from the 80s and early 90s 🙈🤣

God yeah - they really were short and very revealing. Noticed that on the playbacks we've been seeing. Sweaty thighs abd short shorts 😆

Absolutely. "When they go low, we go high" springs to mind!

placemats · 06/07/2026 21:26

Have almost forgotten that Bruno and Renaldo are on the field.

I’ve stopped caring who wins - I just want someone to score to avoid extra time of this

IcedPurple · 06/07/2026 21:27

placemats · 06/07/2026 21:26

And the boy wonder from Barcelona!

Neither side is really impressing.

Wouldn't be surprised if it goes to penalties.

LuckyHazelFox · 06/07/2026 21:28

Have to keep reminding myself that this is Portugal v Spain
