You're not Moz, you're a fat Vale cunt - do one.

How on earth did Clive Tyldesley bring Port Vale surviving relegation into the World Cup? The so called entertainer slipped a quick ‘come on the Vale’ in between songs .......

Sorry mate I can't see embedded tweets on my phone. Essentially he completely lost concentration and forgot to come in on Angels and then it became apparent that he'd been singing over a prerecorded vocal, as his voice came out of the pa but his mic was by his side and his lips weren't moving.

That's quite a drop in stature! When did they get awarded the WC again? There's a reason they've dropped so far. As the host nation, they didn't take part in qualifiers, so they effectively haven't played a competitive game for 2 years. Friendlies count as a much smaller number of ranking points. It always happens to host nations before a major tournament, it has nothing to do with performances. They have also failed to win any of their last 7 friendlies - so it isn't just the fact that they were friendlies which has depressed their ranking. Their current form is shocking - worse than that of their opponents today.

Ah right, cheers for clearing it up. (The Tweet was of him 'flicking the middle finger to the camera'.)

The girl did as well. Were the crowd pre-recorded too? They sounded better on Angels than the 'live' national anthem!

10 minutes in and I want to continually punch Clive 'Clive' Tyldesley repeatedly in the face. A new record! Russia score!

The commentators constantly reviewing every decision and the referring to VAR is really gonna piss me off this tournament
15 mins into the first game and it must be 5 times already

It may well be a shit level of football but I love the World Cup.
Football on all day everyday for a month, watching sides you would never entertain any other time.

They've already instructed the assistant refs not to flag for 'slight' offsides, so the course of games is already being changed by VAR with incorrect decisions being allowed and actively encouraged. So much for accuracy.

I see ITV have gone down the PC route🤔 ITV have gone down the ITV route. They shouldn't be allowed within a light year of a world cup. Truly, truly dire.

So much for accuracy. They’ve said not to flag incase there’s a goal as if the linesman flags the ref will blow when he might be onside mate If the player scores they’ll review it when the ball goes dead if not the game will continue

So much for accuracy. No it just means they'll be looked at if they result in a goal. If he's marginally onside and play is stopped then it's as unfair as him being offside, so that's why they play on and look at it after.

It won't be looked at if it results in a corner from which a goal results. I'd rather the assistant refs get it wrong accidentally rather than deliberately keeping their flag down when they think it's offside.

One of the better halves of a first WC game. Is it because it's two bad teams?

They literally disallowed a Russian corner earlier in the half because a Russian player was offside when he was played in.
