Olga Korbot!

I'm sure there's an anthem compilation on youtube!

Are Norwegians "anyone but Sweden" in the same way Scots are "anyone but England"?

James Rodriguez, once of Everton.

Did Big Dunc make him say that 😅

😆 🤣

Side topic: Wayne Rooney must have a new stylist! His shirt for the Eng V Mex match was a fabulous colour and really suited his colouring. Wasn’t a brilliant fit - gaped a bit around the buttons. Much better than usual outfit yesterday as well!

He's lost a lot of weight.

And definitely some Botox. He’s had a glow up

After 15mins my gut is telling me I want Switzerland to win

If we win against Norway on Saturday night, who will be watching the Sunday 2am game of Argentina v Switzerland/Colombia afterwards?

😆 🤣

Me 🙈 I’ll be watching it either way

It will have to be done. We will all be on a high if we win

My sleep pattern is going to be fucked after this World Cup

Probably not as I have a flight later in the day.

2am. Really the worst possible time. I hate these WC timings!

Hah-mayz (James) Rodriquez. I'd forgotten he existed!

Heh, me too. He was good, but always injured, as I recall.

Don't worry there's another heatwave coming

Great name though. Named after James Bond.

Committed to powering through at this point

Setting aside france for a moment, I think England have a great chance winning against any of these

DH told me earlier that the main reason I've enjoyed the tournament and watched so many games is because they're more on my night owl sleep schedule than some other tournaments have been

Absolutely agree. I'm not seeing anything special since we beat Mexico.

Same!

I bet £200 out of my £500 work sweepstake( £5 to enter starts You with £250 to bet) that Columbia would win.
