The glory days of an 8pm kick-off in the UK.

I really, really enjoyed this game.

I thought Egypt were absolutely fantastic.

I thought the way they transitioned and got a Belgium and they just should have got.

a set of second goals, shouldn't they?

If they'd have gone 2-0 up, I think Belgium would have probably gone under, but credit to Belgium because they have gone under in previous tournaments at going a goal down to teams that maybe they were expected to beat and they didn't do that.

Again, just lacking, a bit like Spain, I just felt Belgium were lacking something and then Lukaku came on and a bit of a throwback goal, Mounir getting down the wing and putting the ball across.

I mean, Lukaku will get no goal and no assist, but he was definitely...

involved in that goal and it was an instant impact but I thought Egypt had I think I read that Egypt had five players that play for the same club team and I felt it showed because I thought they were really fluid and the better of the team for the majority of that game until Belgium made the changes

It's a bit more than that, and I'm struggling because it's 4.49 here to come up with an alternative to your goal of the tournament.

That's the thing, the Cape Verde game has put the jitters on that kind of prediction now, I would say.

I mean, a lot of pundits have called Haaland for the golden boot as well, and the main reason will be because of this game.

But Cape Verde showed yesterday that you just never know what can happen.

I expect Norway to win, but I think it's a bit of a stretch to say that they're dark horses.

I don't see Norway coming anywhere near winning the tournament.

I'm not a massive Trump fan, but I'd quite like to lift the World Cup in Venice.

I think in my world, a lot of people I know are actually at the World Cup.

So I don't feel like it's a topic of conversation I've had with many people.

But I'm enjoying it.

Like Barney said, I think the games have been really good.
