Roberto Martinez's flight home should be diverted straight to The Hague. It is a travesty how bad Portugal are compared to the talent they have & the better the opponent has been, the worst their performances have.
@OzanKabakYes@JamesPearceLFC Haaland had time to take a couple of touches and carefully pick his spot (brilliant strike in fairness to him) while two defenders just stood and watched. Nothing the keeper could do about that.
A very average Brazil side deservedly knocked out - but what an achievement for Norway in their first World Cup since 1998. Got a chance of beating anyone with Haaland up top and Nyland producing heroics at the other end.
Hope. 🙏💙🕊
We've been back in Scotland for a few days.
On the flight home, what struck me was just how welcoming Americans are. I had reservations before going because of Trump, ICE, Palestine, etc. But what we found was that it didn't matter whether black/white, left/right, rich/poor, all the Americans we met were extremely hospitable & welcoming. (Thank you!🙏)
I think if we could get more common people talking with common people, & get the politicians out of the way, we would have a much better world.
America, the football results didn't go our way, but to paraphrase Casablanca, "We will always have Boston." 😘

@LewisBower2021 He played really well. Couple of brilliant interceptions. Great cross for the Morocco goal and they are difficult to defend against. Dutch team totally overrun in midfield though. At one point they only had 20% possession! Two crazy penalty shoot outs today.
Virgil Van Dijk is still operating at an extremely high level - the highest of every defender in the world, still.
Playing every single game in a Worl Cup season, feels silly as all Liverpool fans genuinely love him but feel he might still be taken for granted.
"One thing about Bosnia.
I could not point out where it is on the map.
I don’t know the first thing about Bosnia and I don’t wanna know."
You don't have to know but shouldn't you as a journalist want to find out? I don't know...professional norms, editorial standards and all that "nonsense" stuff?
BREAKING: Lionel Ritchie concert in St Paul at Grand Casino Arena canceled mid-show. Ritchie sat down on stage during “Dancing on the Ceiling”, said he felt dizzy. Performed one more song at piano, “Three Times a Lady”, then announced unplanned intermission. Did not return.
@Giantdaz72@1968Tv You’re forgetting! No, I’m forgetting! What were we talking about? 😉🤪😂
It was a weird situation where the BBC/ITV didn’t cover the 8 team tournament because England were beaten by Denmark in the qualifiers. Amazing the caliber of teams that did/didn’t qualify in those days.
@DecMcCole@1968Tv I can't understand why I don't remember it, I was 11 living in Dublin & I remember Spain 82 vividly when I was only 9, weird 🤔.. I can remember watching RTE the night we beat France 3-2 in 81
On This Day 1984

One of John Motson’s finest commentaries.
France 3-2 Portugal (AET)
#France#Portugal
@Giantdaz72@1968Tv Only in the UK. Thankfully RTE showed the tournament in Ireland. Amazing tournament and that French team was incredible. “Le carre magique” with Platini unstoppable were a joy to watch.
