Imagine facing this front three:

Erling Haaland β€” born in Leeds, West Yorkshire
Michael Olise β€” born in White City, Greater London
Antoine Semenyo β€” born in Chelsea, London

All three were born in England, but chose to represent different nations
Now all three are 𝗒𝗑 π—™π—œπ—₯π—˜ at this World Cup and winning Player of the Match awards
They really might have brought it home…

Prior to the Croatia/Ghana match, Scotland had been hanging on the barest of hopes of maybe a progression to the next stage.

Those chances of getting through to the next round of the World Cup were then 0.07%.
Ghana need to beat Croatia by 3 or more goals or that’s finally it.
And now the result is in and Croatia won - the Scots hopes dashed.

Not even James Bond could escape this World Cup trap door.

Scotland's World Cup journey comes to an end in the group stages ......
And their Manager, Steve Clarke has stepped down following Scotland’s exit from the World Cup.

(Clarke is the most-capped Scotland Men’s National Team Head Coach., the first Head Coach to lead Scotland to three major tournaments and led the Tartan Army return to the World Cup after 28 years.)

England beat Panama 2 nil and fly to Round of 32!
Harry Kane makes history as England best scorer ever at World Cup, 11 goals.
Plus Goal + assist for Jude Bellingham.

WHAT A MATCH... how did that finish 0-0?!
Just nothing to separate Colombia and Portugal at Miami Stadium
Although it was closer than close!!
A Davinson Sanchez offside big toe denies Colombia a late winner in an intense clash between Group K's top two!

The longest time EVER between a player's first and latest World Cup goal:

Ronaldo: 20 years and 11 days
Messi: 20 years and 11 days

We'll never see anything like this ever again

History made for Congo DR
πŸ‡¨πŸ‡©
πŸ‘


Congo DR reach the knockout stages of the World Cup for the first time in their history.
A 3-1 win over Uzbekistan secured their place, with Colombia topping Group K after a 0-0 draw with Portugal.

The Uruguay Football Association has 𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞π₯π₯𝐞𝐝 the squad's private flight home following their World Cup exit.
❌️

Instead, every player will travel back on commercial flights after being eliminated from the tournament
😬

Their group stage exit has been labelled the biggest embarrassment of the last 50 years for the country.

Not World Cup but my son plays this afternoon in the semi final of the U21s State Cup. His first semi final (playing for 14 years!). (I'll have to check updates on the Tigers Game). Wish him luck!
