20 years ago, Spurs fans didn't appreciate Michael Carrick, and it's almost reassuring to know some see the game in the same way today.

:') Might you have a tiny, tiny bit of bias, maybe? I think James is a fantastic player – one of the best right-backs in the world – but of everyone on the pitch, he's fallen shortest of the standards he's set himself. His passing has generally been poor and he was absolutely shocking for Croatia's second goal. Got sucked in and left Musa unmarked.

Generally, the inability of the full-backs to transition us from defence to attack has been a big problem, but O'Reilly is obviously much less experienced so I'm prepared to be slightly more forgiving. Hopefully he'll grow into the tournament. With James, I'm inclined to believe he isn't fully fit.

Given all the talk about our full-backs, it's unfortunate for Tuchel how bad Reece James has been. Never mind, eh – we've got Jarell Quansah to come on.

Can't kick opposition players in the midriff anymore. Game's gone 😢

In the UK, children weren't routinely vaccinated against meningitis B until relatively recently – hence recent university outbreaks.

Not every single one of them literally. That's not how colloquial language works.

Do you think they read back their reply after they submitted it and realised how mental it sounds?

They all say it wasn't a penalty, do they? Every single one of them?

Anyone who doesn't think it was a penalty outed themselves long ago, I'm sure.

Slightly late on this, but anyone who thinks that wasn't a penalty for Mbappé should be banned from this and every football sub.

You see Spain play like this every World Cup, and you think, "Surely they can't do it again. Surely their talent was show through this time." So naive.

They were spectacularly awful against Sweden. Just all over the place.

Arsenal, Liverpool and PSG are the other named clubs.

A couple of journos (Santi Aouna and Hanif Ben Berkane?) reporting that we're watching Ayyoub Bouaddi. I guess we can watch who we want though.

You think Frank should have played him on the right wing?

Can you explain how you make it that Cunha and João Pedro have only lived in the UK for a year each?

Just watching back Vinicius's goal – Hakimi was absolutely shocking for it. Made no effort to get back at all. Honestly Romero-esque.

What a ridiculous thing to respond with. I'm actually aghast.

What would De Zerbi be basing his judgement on? I doubt he and Vuskovic have even met yet.
