A very impressive second half from France last night. Real quality goals. Great starts to the tournament for Mbappe, Messi, and Haaland. Can England hit the ground running?

I think we will, tho a draw ain't a disaster, even if it would get hefty criticism.

Mbappe 2, Haaland 2, Messi 3, Kane?

Just watched the Portugal game - can now add to your list, JR:
Messi - 1 game, 3 goals.
Mbappe - 1 game, 2 goals.
Haaland - 1 game, 2 goals.
Ronaldo - 1 game, 2 touches!

Seriously, Ron, it's time to call it a day.

Portugal have every chance of winning the tournament - providing they bench Ronaldo!

It was the same at the last WC, Cleggy.
I've never seen a more selfish player on a football pitch. Is he so obsessed with breaking individual records instead of putting his country first?

Correct Cleggy, I too think Portugal play better without Ronaldo than with him. I watched the Portugal v DR Congo game, and when Neves scored, the Portugal players were all smiles, except Ronaldo, who was wearing his best "why not me" scowl.
