Makes me sick that we’ve qualified for the World Cup in the worst possible country. Ffs. Infection (hilariously predictive text corrects infantino to that), should be removed from power. Of course he’s doing absolutely what the big companies want so he won’t. Football is dead (yes, I’ll still watch).

No Partey for Ghana in their first game. Canada won't let him into the country.

He’ll just wait until they’re asleep and come in anyway…

Don’t think there’s been a World Cup like this for players and officials being refused entry.

I see the England team have been robbed.

It's normally them doing the thieving at a World Cup. Now they know how the poor jeweller in Bogotá felt.

Surely, from their perspective, they get robbed at every major tournament. It's just normally at the semi/quarters/whenever, not before a ball is even kicked?

Tunisia have sacked their manager after their 5-1 loss to Sweden.

You might have to explain this to our younger viewers

40 years ago today, Diego Maradona scored a sublime header against England, then went and dribbled past 14 players on his way to scoring a second.
