I see the right wing ghouls have not started ghouling about whether Kane and Bale should wear LGBT arm bands. They are having too much of a good time criticising the team for taking the knee! I used to think that those on the left complained too much! But the ERG and Bruges Group ir incandescent with rage – the gammon faces can be seen from space. They hate the Conservatives more than Labour. Is fascist anarchism a fair name for them?
I just realised that the World Cup is a football tournament. It will raise millions of which some will get through to poorer nations. Who will win? It is often not the best team. So there is hope for England. I do not think Wales have the squad to make it far. Will Messi or Mhappe or Pedro or de Bruyne or Neymar or Ronaldo or Suerez; or will a new one like Gave, Leaf, Valverde or Kudos come through to be the star.
England have played well against Iran. Good possession then touches of brilliance from Saka, Bellingham and Stirling. Iran have just got one back. Lovely goal from Rashford, on as sub and one, two three touches and a very cool goal.
