We’ve learnt some bad news that Donny Strathie passed away in Boston on Sunday. He had a ticket for the Morocco game, but never got the chance to realize his World Cup dream.

It would mean a lot to his family if we could organise a minutes applause in the 76th minute of the Morocco game.

@J_oh_n @EssexPR Well that’s straight to the point

[Alan Ball™ @wellindarlo]

That is an incredible pass and finish #France

How quick is Saliba for a CB? #France #Senegal

@joannaccherry How do they get away with it, Joanna? It's remarkable, almost Trumpian.

If one goal wasn’t enough, he creates history for his own country too by becoming the first New Zealand player to score a brace at a World Cup.

We’re so proud of you, Elijah 👏🧡

[Alan Ball™ @wellindarlo]

@StephenFlynnSNP @ScotExpress Your so much better than that, Stephen,

[Alan Ball™ @wellindarlo]

@chloebrightx promotion, that’s fantastic. I know Ann and Geoff would be so proud of you. 👏

[Alan Ball™ @wellindarlo]

@terrychristian I would include Willo Flood just for the name. Well actually he was a very good player.

@ScotsFootyCards No, the game on now. Also shattered from last night, however, early retirement gives me a bit more time to recover from staying up all night with my friend Asahi.

[Alan Ball™ @wellindarlo]

@ScotsFootyCards who do you have for this one?

[Alan Ball™ @wellindarlo]

@ScotsFootyCards Netherlands v Japan

[Alan Ball™ @wellindarlo]

@JimSpenceDundee My money is on Japan, just a feeling.

[Alan Ball™ @wellindarlo]

@IainDale Or as @thatchwick82911 suggests, Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman

[Alan Ball™ @wellindarlo]

@IainDale I think it is King Edward VII in the carriage driven by (possibly) Arthur Balfour.

[Alan Ball™ @wellindarlo]

@BBCSportScot I’m not sure you understand how this might play out. We now need to draw or beat Brazil.

[Alan Ball™ @wellindarlo]

@BBCSportScot Hanley is a mistake. I hope not obviously.
