Delayed kickoffs, pointless shows, breaking the rules of the games regarding the 15 minute half time, ad breaks disguised as hydration breaks.
Destroying the very core of the sport. Americans don't deserve to host anything ever again.

If that’s not an England penalty, then footballs not for me anymore I’m sorry

Very much a striker in the Liam Delap mould. Big focus on off the ball work. Excellent in the air but also at carrying the ball and winning fouls. Exactly the sort of profile of striker that is essential for a newly promoted side to have.

People throwing pints here is a real, justified reaction and outpouring of emotion, no one wanted to lose their pint.
Problem is, every non-football fan saw this and thinks this is what they’re meant to recreate so go to boxpark and waste £20 on a pint just to soak a child.

Pass distribution by pitch zone on the WC, with each team compared to the tournament average in each zone
- Argentina spends 7% less time on the flanks than the average World Cup team
- Portugal is the opposite to Argentina
- Spain and Germany's territorial dominance is huge

Austrailia surviving the Turkey bombardment with Harry Souttar dominant in the air.Turkey have a plethoral of creative talent but were missed that clinical finisher. I was surprised Uzun didn't even make it of the bench. Irankunda finally realising his potential on the big stage.

Germany no strangers to scoring 7 at a World Cup. Kimmich is so crucial to how they play as a linchpin in midfield. Despite a poor season for Liverpool, Wirtz playing some of his best football in a Germany shirt

Top progressors of the World Cup so far. Scotland's Andy Robertson and USA's Tim Ream make an appearance. Florian Wirtz asserting influence. Top two come from sides who dominated the opposition but didn't get the result.

Final third influence is all Turkey with a ton of interplay around the box but with no end product hinting at an imbalance in their side. Similar with Switzerland when facing Qatar

But it's the USA who have the highest defensive action height ahead of Germany and Switzerland. Australia with their excellent 2-0 victory against Turkey with the lowest defensive line so far with pure backs to the wall counter attacking football

Canada coming in with the most aggressive press so far, ahead of Germany and the USA. Haiti very unlucky not to get anything out of their game with Scotland as I thought their off the ball work was very good.

Ignore the 1-0 scoreline. This was one of the most entertaining matches of the World Cup so far. Ecuador with some glorious chances, hitting the woodwork three times and another of my wonderkid picks pre tournament Yan Diomande causing an absolute nuisance of himself

This one showed that if you have two world class strikers and a tactically astute manager you can go a long way. On the balance of the game it didn't feel like Sweden massively outplayed Tunisia but when chances came their way they were clinical in taking them.

An historic result for Cape Verde, getting a point against the team ranked second in the World who despite having the majority of the ball failed to create too many clear cut chances and ended up with a large number of crosses into the box.

There's no words, so have some numbers instead. All the best Kieran, you'll be missed. #ITFC

Latest video is now out taking a look into why Middlesbrough's season fell to pieces and why I think they can compete at the top end of the Championship again next season - youtu.be/4MdkRM47o6Y
