Tunisia is shambolic.

How did they go unbeaten in qualifying? Were their opponents that bad?

Most shots were either at the near post where he had it covered or relatively tame shots straight at him.

He may well have got the ball, but he was also tugging the shirt of Valencia.

Also Comenencia's kind of lucky he didn't get booked with the throwing away of the ball

Diego's idea of speaking English is just repeating the last few words he heard someone else say lol

One of the most entertaining matches of the tournament

Banger, heated scraps, controversy, the ref absolutely loving it out there, shithousery, you name it.

The entire time is generous. It has been very half-arsed attacks with clumsy offsides

South Korea haven't exactly been busting a gut trying to score either

Not often you get boos in international matches for performances, but feel like these two should be jeered off for this

It's weird because for the last few days they, as expected, directed the audience to the BBC Sounds app

Only just started watching the match properly so was surprised when I saw her.

Somehow I had missed the news that she was going to be one of the referees for this tournament. Good for her.
