OI - I’m friends with a 93 year old very well known cartoonist and his wife who live in Manhattan, their apartment overlooks Central Park (they’re old friends of my parents…) - they despair, and they probably won’t be around much longer to see the turnaround, but they’ve been pretty philosophical about things…

I used to joke with Yanks about whether they were having second thoughts yet. It is too depressing these days.

Florida - I’d never go to America these days - spent almost 6 months travelling across from east to west over 45 years ago in a Chevrolet Kingswood with 3 mates - great days!!

Not celebrating.

Happy independence day to all you Yankie doodle dandy's celebrating

Rugby is like football these days, the international game isn't a patch on the club game.

If you like rugby ITV is the place to be

Trigger - it was

Bauer signs for Cambridge - wasn’t sure whether this was known yesterday or not.

The best outcome would be thunderstorms delaying the kick off until about 8am our time :)

Would have been nice (purely thinking of myself) for the game to have been a 7pm UK time kick off but hey ho. I just hope there is no thunder-related delays to kick off or during the game because waiting around for an hour at 2am is going to suck.

Ft 3-2. Well done Cape Verde. Going home with their heads held high.

3-2 Argies. I still wouldn't count against CV.

Evening Pete.

Oh sorry evenin' Sparta.

A brilliant goal from CV.

Absofukinlutely brilliant equaliser.

Bastards !

I'd like to think that if the unbelievable happens and CV were to win, and we get past Mexico, we could find ourselves in the semi finals the way the draw is.

Cape Verde showing the waste of space Scottish team how to play against a top nation. You have to wonder why the pundits are still defending them.

That is they reverted back to the original time after complaints by us and the Mexicans

FIFA were prepared to let the game change time but reverted back to the original time by both the Mexican and English officials.`

Sparta - Imagine if CV went ahead...

Could you imagine this going to extra time and then penalties ?

Well done CV. That should reawaken the Argues and make the game more interesting. The Argies seemed to be more or less just going through the motions before CV scored.
