Britain Closed the Railways. Then Wondered Why the Regions Stagnated.

The Oranje Army has landed at the local pub in Xiamen 🍺 🍻

You look at the midfield, they've got McTominay, McGinn, Doak. Ferguson also plays Serie A.

[Sam Victor Jermy 🇺🇦  @SamJermy]

Genuinely think Scotland should go 4-5-1 against Brazil, with McTominay as the sole striker. All their true forwards are "pish" as they say anyway.

If Scotland had a Grant Holt type up front they would look a dangerous side. Or a Quinn and Phillips partnership...but Adams crap.

This Turkey-Paraguay game is bananas haha. First minute banger of a goal, red card, fisticuffs....and a ref who looks like we'll find out was accepting bribes in 20 years time.

The men’s team should sue them

Little rest, walk to the shop for a butter quest 🧈 (Hard to find in Xiamen) Then watch the Turkey game at 11am. What a weekend.

Unfortunately don't think 3pts & negative goal difference will be enough for Scotland to progress.

[Sam Victor Jermy 🇺🇦  @SamJermy]

Scotland should feel proud they showed what they're made of in that second half. But shot themselves in the foot within 70 seconds of this game. Gannon Doak looked lively but unforgivable not getting those crosses in late on.

Can't believe I woke up at 5:45am just to see Grant Hanley give away a goal at the World Cup in the 2nd minute. 😅😅

Much better finish to half, Scotland boys are still in this despite being largely outclassed. Come on lads!!

Gonna have to get my head in the game, get through til 8am then probably sleep finally.

[Sam Victor Jermy 🇺🇦  @SamJermy]

World cup games at 3am, 6am, 9am and 12 midday for me. Not sure when I'll sleep but deffo want to watch Australia & Scotland wins! 8pm already on 3rd pint though, and about to make my weekend debut on the pool table. Whoops.

South Korea really good using possession as a defensive tool. Especially useful in hot and humid conditions: make the opponent run around needlessly while you circulate the ball.
It's not fun to watch for now, but the final ball is coming.

[Carl Anka @Ankaman616]

Ugly 1-0 from two teams in beautiful kits...

Now the best thing he can do for the country is not rock the boat further. The country voted Starmer in with a convincing majority, it's about time a Prime Minister served a full term and brought stability back to the UK.

[Andy Burnham for Makerfield @andy4makerfield]

Congratulations to @AndyBurnhamGM, the new Labour MP for Makerfield 🌹

People here voted for hope.

Just watching Fox Sports for Mexico vs Korea and at full-time a woman comes on the mic and says "A two-nil win for Mexico and they now go TWO AND OH."

They won the game 1-0 for fuck sake.

"Everyone knows that politics isn't working, everyone can feel that the country isn't where it should be," Andy Burnham says after winning Makerfield by-election

This is a chance to "build a new politics", he adds
