Already feeling matches blur into one - it might have been during the French game, or the Norway game, but did the BBC fill some time by having Mainoo read out an inspirational letter from Wazza?

1. I refuse to believe that Wayne wrote anything at all down and whoever was his ghostwriter needs a slap
2. But not before whichever producer decided that getting one of the least articulate footballers in history to 'write' to some poor lad due to some super tenuous connection and try and manufacture some kind of emotional moment. Manipulative, wooden eared nonsense.

Bring back the bloody WAGs and dentists chair, if this is the world we inhabit now with Loki and Rooney getting flowery and inspirational.

Can you imagine one of the ITV team asking Roy Keane to do something like this?

At least I've managed to avoid any Rob and Romesh/James Corden crap so far

Rather than little non league terrace sheds full of neon shirted stewards, Boston seems to have put some glazed portakabin sales offices at one end and just fuck it off for one half of the other end

It isn't all of the songs by any means - Spotify isn't that comprehensive. And I've tried to cull duplicates across days, and taken out some of the more leftfield songs that have popped up.

Oh and anything like Kiss or Weezer or Green Day. Or Abba. Or the Beatles. It's subjective, but they don't meet my personal view of what is powerpop.

Similarly some of the stuff I really love by the Jellyfish boys was excluded because I have plenty of playlists containing them already - this exercise was about giving be a nice little listening backlog to work through to find anything new and sparkly

Playlist is here - 419 songs

Looks like some of the best seats are being given to staff?

Cucurella and Richarlison are different cheating gravy.

And here comes Garnacho to piss on Spurs chips

We all know that it is difficult for any Portuguese not to be a master of Shithousery, and that the Uruguayans taught the world how to do it.

Half of the Argentine team, Rudiger, Cucurella etc. are also going to feature, but who will become the new Van Bommel, Sergio Ramos or Diego Simeone - i.e. the one who either breaks English hearts by being a better cheat, or breaks Yamal's ankle?
