So happy to see the Yanks out. To be honest they started well and limped into the knockout rounds. Better sides grind results out and get their momentum back in the next fixture.

It is a bit sad there are only two Americas countries left. Just speaks to our level of football.

France advance. As expected.

Going to be an all European tournament except for Argentina.

Almost comical to see England trail by 1 against a nation of 5.5m people.

Bellingham: whatever.

Besides me living across from Ronaldo for a few days, my barber did the hair for the Croatian coaching staff - twice because they had two fixtures here and my barber is across the street from the St. Regis.
