I have of course ranked all 96 World Cup kits and can confirm that 96 is too many World Cup kits. Knew I'd hit a wall when I described Mexico (home) as 'Aztec glamera' telegraph.co.uk/gift/132046a97…

@TeleFootball sure the immense public outpouring of joy is about to start any minute now

@TeleFootball Can I just shock you? I like casinos

@TeleFootball the Buffalo wings are kicking in now

@TeleFootball This casino, clearly drunk on Norway, has got a bit presumptuous with the soundtrack for England's arrival: We Are the Champions

Now to the Aztec zone for a mental game

@bigchriselmer Love that Chris, thanks very much!

@thomgibbs Every time I see the Reebok logo tonight I giggle.

@brendanstaunton Great question. I would guess the red away as USA looks predominantly white from a distance, and believe Fifa mandates a light and dark option for every team.

@thomgibbs What would England wear against US if the latter had first choice?

@museumofjerseys Did not know this, and hate it.

@thomgibbs Looking forward to reading, Thom - even a few more than 96, as Canada are wearing three kits in group stage and others bringing third strips too 😱

This is really good

Genuinely, brilliant. Look at this. Not an advert in sight. Just pages and pages and pages of material, every single country, all treated the same. The word “packed” is overused when it comes to magazines but this is absolutely packed. 👌 The Bible.

@LoftusIQ I know, I know, being a bit disingenuous! Sorry. But made me laugh. Actually not that surprising given how the game went. Felt a very nervy 4-1

@thomgibbs xG should always be looked at in context, ie. game state, and by shot volume

One of those results that does leave you slightly questioning the usefulness of xG
