Today has lit the tournament two fanradtic games where ironically Africa has bough joy to a tournament understandably plagued by the politics of human rights . Football has today transcended politics and made it all about exhilaration and joy the way the Ghana team left the coach and entered the stadium poor joy , a nail in the coffin of the 5 at the back pragmatists , a day when out scoring became in vogue .
will Southgate now join the party or fall on the sword of 5 at the Back and two defensive midfielders ? .
Football and Africa have won today and the tournament will flourish still more more from here

Another cracker, a bit harsh on South Korea Agree about the French lady, I thought she was excellent She's quite a big figure in French football and played for a few big clubs, US and Europe. Nice to look at also. Agree re Chappers above. Great host

I love the way Drogba and Jenus look at her whilst she’s talking. You can see they are thinking ‘wow she knows her stuff’. Spot on mate and I think it helps also when Chappers is hosting as well because he makes the pundits relaxed with his interaction/knowledge as opposed to the immature/childish Lineker. I also think Laura Woods is excellent on ITV as well Laura Woods spooks me out. She only has one permanent expression. I wonder why that is?

She needs to open her eyes abit more but she can spook me out all she wants mate🤣

You can't blow up on a corner. The referee should always give the attacking team the benefit of the doubt in that situation. You blow up once the corner is cleared. It's poor refereeing, but Anthony has recently been studying at Mike Deans school of showmanship... So it makes sense. Where does it say you can’t blow up on a corner? Clearly the added on time is being done much more accurately in this tournament. The added on time was 10 minutes and Taylor ended it on 10 and a half minutes. Why should the Koreans have been allowed even more added on time just because they happened to have won a corner? The ref can blow for full time when he thinks it's time of course but, on this occasion, he should have added another minute on top of the ten already added as a Ghana player feigned an injury in the 8th minute of stoppage time and received treatment on the pitch for a minute. Taylor should've played 11 minutes over time and that would have allowed time for the corner to be taken.

Fair enough if that's the case, I wasn't timing it myself, I was simply responding to the suggestion that a referee shouldn't ever end a game before a corner is taken.

The game is very entertaining. But the real question is what ice-cream musik is having. I'm afraid I emptied my Maccadamia Nut Vanilla Gelatelli ice cream box the evening before, so I had no ice cream for this game. A disaster! 🙂 This evening, at 21.50 something, after work, I went to the nearest food store but they have moved around everything inside and the entrance was now the exit and vice versa - so I couldn't find where the ice cream was, and neither could the staff. I had plans for a Heavenly Mix (Vanilla, marshmallows, light chocolate and chocolate sauce) and some pear chocolate ice cream. A new try tomorrow.

Wow - I hate that - where a shop you are familiar with moves its products around simply to confuse you. Or where a supermarket has different configurations from store to store, so there is no consistency - and if you find yourself shopping in another town, you are completely discombobulated. (It is worse than a football manager tinkering with a tried and tested set-up for no fathomable reason). An utter scandal. Surely in Sweden that must constitute a breach of your human rights?
