If Mo Salah gets sent off this afternoon, would he walk like an Egyptian? I'm here all day ...

What a speach,what a man!!

But not really...

Temu Trump resigns

Airsy - I hadn’t realised that about the suspension, seems like a complete let off…

One thing I will be glad of for the next World Cup is consistency over KO times. You usually expect (local time) KO's of (say) 1pm, 4pm and 8pm, rather the confusion of of local times from a competition played across 4 time zones

Pleased to see Carabao cup game confirmed for 3pm, I’m due to land at Gatwick at 09:30 so plenty of time to get to SW19 have a couple of beers & go to the game

A4E - Balogun only has to serve a suspension if he gets sent off again.

Cant see Egypt troubling Argentina Bt Switzerland v Colombia could be interesting, wonder how that petition the Colombians got up for the game v England in Russia 2018 to be replayed is going

Trig - there's a good chance that they may get 2038. Current FIFA rules stipulate that a WC can't go to a confederation that has held one of the previous 2 WC's (so that rules out Europe, Africa and South America out until 2042, and Asia out until 2046)

Two potentially fruity games on tonight. R16 is my favourite round. Still some interesting teams left in.

Harry Sidwell signs new contract and gone to Eastleigh on season long loan

East Preston vs littlehampton fc tonight in a PSF local derby

That Belgium win was a victory for football throughout the world.

The 3rd and 4th Belgium goals were hilarious and embarrassing in equal measure - I’d recommend the highlights if you haven’t seen them yet… That Balogun guy still has to serve a suspension after having been convincingly schooled - he’s probably Championship level if he ever came here, but that America goalkeeper might be National League standard!!

Carabap Cup tie Sat 3pm kick off which is nice

You would hope all this would mean the U.S. never get to host the World Cup again. But when you realise how much money Infantino will have made you could understand him not giving a solitary shiny one about what anyone thinks.

2.5 years more:-)

Why does Trump do it - he does because he knows some people are too weak to stand up to him

No doubt that if we lose to Norway, various comedians will be reawakening the spirit of that guy, presumably who Leddy named below ;-/

I watched the Belg game this morning, well up to 2nd half hydration break. People questioning what the US keeper was doing for the 3rd goal, but the no13 defender seemed to do his best to get out of the way from the shot. Quite hilarious and good that they're out.

Donald Trump, can you hear me? Donald Trump, as they say in your language in the boxing bars around Madison Square Garden in New York: your boys took a hell of a beating! Your boys took a hell of a beating!

Trump confused that out means out and not the best of seven

Trump trying to get Belgium result overturned. Infantino considering options.

One good thing to come from his intervention is the appeal process on red cards in a tournament and how to deal with them. I think most people could sympathise with the player who got booked, my view it should be yellow. But the appeal process, should be viewed immediately after the match, like some F1 decisions. This, if the VAR people aren't going to overturn a verdict, that would mean the ref sending him off, but the VAR people saying, foul but not red card.
