I cannot believe what I've just seen
ELFYN EVANS AND SCOTT MARTIN ARE WORLD RALLY CHAMPIONS! 🏆 Oliver Solberg crashed TWO CORNERS from the powerstage finish while on target to win the title 🤯

My theory is that the Portuguese federation were trying to nudge CR out the door and treat the Wales match as a farewell, and then he just didn't retire so Jorge Jesus dropped him anyway and now it's all blown up

Spent a lot of time today thinking about how Graeme Souness went to Benfica and signed Brian Deane, Michael Thomas, Mark Pembridge, Dean Saunders, Gary Charles and Steve Harkness

Hard to believe Kevin Keegan's no longer with us - an omnipresent figure within English football for decades. Sad that he didn't get chance to say goodbye

A rather joyless final. The best team in the tournament won, but I'm sad that Argentina chose Bilardoball over anything meaningful. They were very poor and every sub made things worse. Some great players on this Spain team but they do feel like the ersatz version of 2010

Overall, a good World Cup, but not a great one. The narratives coalesced at the end nicely but very few notable shocks. The middle part of the tournament often felt like a grim march even if the football was quite good

The better team one. Considering their wobbles at the back, England defended really well but Norway made it easier for them. It's amazing that the team that made direct football cool in the 90s is now all about insipid sideways passing

Dreadful performance all round from Colombia. They absolutely blew that. Argentina-Switzerland is incredibly underwhelming compared to what it could have been

Even if the Swiss beat Argentina, it would leave me cold. They could win the whole thing and I'd feel nothing. They're a team that exists
