I just shouted "stop fucking about" at the telly while watching trained athletes at the peak of their game. I am drinking cans in a vest.

Utterly choked, but this young side gave absolutely everything. It’s a huge step forward and they’ll only get better in the future. They can hold their heads high, they did our country proud. Congratulations to Croatia.

ITV’s commentators are really skirting around the issue that this is all their fault and they shouldn’t be allowed to show England games any more.

The England team and Trump are flying into different airports right ? Bit concerned about potential welcoming mix-ups.
