Norway 1 - 2 Jude Bellingham. @JonasGahrStore, your boys took one hell of beating 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I mean it was a Norwegian commentator who coined that infamous commentary but he at least managed a couple of random names

We're going to score more goals than you!

VINDALOO

Na na na na na na na na

It’s one of the things I like about Tuchel and the brilliant Anthony Barry. They are only saying what everyone else is thinking. Tuchel is German, he is frank and honest and if you saw Kane’s interview after, he was totally fine with it

Jonas Gahr Store is the Norwegian PM

I spotted them too ! Mentioned it to dh

I was doing my Saturday job next to a TV shop and as I had been asking customers the score all afternoon my boss sent me to watch the last 5 minutes, as I walked through the door, Germany equalised!!!!!!!!!! I've done similar so often and in all kind of sports that I now never watch anything where I want 'my' team, player etc to win, I have to wait for the all clear from a family member though tonight the fireworks outside somewhere were a bit of a giveaway!
My future husband was hitch-hiking, in Germany of all places.

😀🫢

I thought the managers comments were really awful to say publicly before actually speaking to the team.
On a positive note,my son is in an uber going across London and the atmosphere is amazing,electric and fun!

staying up forever to watch football

I will stay up a bit longer but probably not that long. Unless it is an exciting match

I know. He's Labour as well.

This one at least tried

Edvard Munch, Henrik Ibsen , Thor Heyerdahl, Leif Erikson, your boys took one hell of a beating. #NORENG

Ah, got it. Thought you meant Gahr Store was a random name, it's late 😅

@Mumtobabyhavoc so very, very sad.

I thought Gabriel Clarke was a shit stirrer. Tuchel was honest. I love that. The players will know what he's like.

Right, come on Switzerland!

I love it when managers and players ignore their media training 🤣

Am going to sleep now ,hoping to wake up to a Switzerland win 🤞

Argentina GOOOAAAL

FFS Switzerland

☹️

Switzerland are not going into the game confidently.

Get a grip Switzerland

England leaked an early goal when playing against Mexico.
