Pale Ale over here.

As for today, England sneaks past a very good French team to end North Africa's dreams.

As I recall my daughter came over at 4:00am to watch Germany edge us. That was a really fun run for sure.

Congrats to Morroco! Amazing run.

Saw this today: Southampton’s French full-back Romain Perraud has spoken to L’Equipe about Wilson ahead of today’s match. The 25-year-old has warned his compatriots to be aware of Callum’s qualities. Sport Witness has published the following from Perraud: “He has a completely different profile from the other English strikers. “He’s a real threat to defences because he’s very strong in duels, with the ability to keep the ball with his back to the game. “In a way, he is the classic English striker, with a strong physical dimension in his game. He has a “target man” side as we say in England. “But beware, if Wilson can give the impression of being a clumsy player, in reality he is quick, precise, intelligent in his movements, and can take the ball deep.”

WTF was that!

In an unrelated note, I watched the games yesterday from DVR last night as I was out all day and those were two mind blowing games. I hope England and France don't go to penalties.

Not sure doing that over there would be a great life choice.

The idea is if he gets a work permit he can be loaned out in England but if not to the continent he goes. It would be nice if he could play in England right from the start.

Not super clued in. I didn't see that in the Prophet's posted story. I guess I missed the quote from him on number 2. My personal view I don't find it actually binds people together as it's simply a gesture. I'd prefer actual action, ala deeds to cement that thought, which I agree with. I missed the meaning of your post me thinks. I now see you say some segment of the public demands that.

Might have went straight over my head as I do not live in England and very likely do not understand the nuanced politics but I must have missed where he said anything negative other than pitch invasions are a sign of greater problems. His quote: “We have to look at what we’re doing in terms of parenting. What are the expectations?" Applies to the USA too.

That's interesting. Where is that quote?

Just finished watching the game. Congrats to England! I thought Bellingham was really good today and England as a whole played very well. Let's se if the Three Lions can take down an impressive France and Mbappe.

Won't be drugs or pints is my best guess.

Guys, can't watch the game for a couple of hours but am DVR recording the match to view then. All my best to England today. Hope you lads dominate and advance! Good luck!!!!!

It's still stupid.

Stupid run up.

Fantastic finish. He's having a great game for sure.

Haaland or Mbappe? They both are something else.

Clinical finish, plenty of time, perfectly placed.

He's getting the ball a ton.

Polish fullbacks are putting in a shift.

Man, almost disaster, come on Poles!

Well, not unexpected.

My lord, chance after chance.
