Richarlison scores for Brazil, 1-0. And now he has two, 2-0! Brilliant goal.

Corruption rife already, nothing wrong with that goal from Ecuador. Edit: 2-0 to Ecuador at half time, Valencia with a brace so should have had a first half hat-trick. Qatar are absolutely abysmal and wouldn't look out of place in League Two or even the National League, they're second to everything and so off the pace with an erratic 'keeper for good measure. Wouldn't surprise me if they fail to score in this tournament which would be exactly what they deserve.

Will raise a glass if all goes well, hope it's a cork-er.

Ruben Vinagre gets a corrupt vote because he's Portuguese. Everyone was shit.

If we win at the weekend then tonight's game will be a massive reason why - that's surely obvious to anyone regardless of what side of the fence you sit.

Saved legs in what is a tight schedule, in a cup competition that we aren't going to win and serves nothing more than a distraction from the league. Not arsed one bit about us going out, and of course we now have a better chance in the "real" fixture. Would love to be able to compete on all fronts, but we're not good enough as a club to do so.

Yeah I was/am fine with it.

No.

It's being reported on quite a few outlets now, to be honest Hassenhuttl always strikes me as someone that's not done terribly, but not pulled up any trees either with Southampton. Seems to be able to get a few 6/10 performances that lead to a handful of wins but always on the brink of losing a game by a landslide (hasn't be lost 9-0 twice with them?).

I only go on Twitter for football news. As a social media site it's been absolutely boring for a good 5+ years now.

I don't know how in depth these stories truly are though. Did we actually attend Sporting matches and decline Ronaldo, or was it simply that we probably got passed his name on a post-it note (along with thousands of others) and decided against it. If you believe the papers we could have signed Haaland, Messi, Ronaldo, Mbappe and Pele for a combined price of about £6.5m.

Is there any way I can save the XXX selfies that @Romey 1878 sends me? I've built up quite the collection and afraid of losing it should the forum go down.

Outstanding again today, Onana has been a great singing thus far and will only get better. It's sad for us, but you could certainly see him moving to a Real Madrid in 2-3 years.

Iwobi is outstanding under Lampard, totally different player.

Zaha deserves everything that he gets, one of the biggest gobshites I've ever seen. Should have seen red for his elbow on Gordon and was hoping that someone would snap him towards the end of the game - absolute rat.

Unless he somehow manages to turn it around, that goes his chance at being Liverpool manager. He'll need to rebuild somewhere simple again, such as the USA. His stock is pretty low I'd have thought after what was a truly forgettable time with Villa and quite a bit of money spent.

Liz Truss and Steven Gerrard both gone in the same day. This should be declared a National Holiday.

I'm not sure what else to do when we've got a squad as poor as ours. We're not a very good side, and are the lesser side in 75% of all games we'll go into this season. If we went all guns blazing against Newcastle we'd be picked off on the counter, 100%.

No way is that a penalty - although seeing Anthony Gordon trying to put his head into 6'11 Dan Burn was quite amusing.

Insanity to think that we could hoof the ball up to DCL when he's surrounded by three Newcastle defenders and think it would work. It'd be nice to see us try and play our way around Newcastle, just as they are doing to us.

Proper excited for the World Cup so the Premier League can go on a break and we can stop being shit.

Been coming since KO that, shiiiiiite.
