That's harsh. I don't think Vini is as bad as some. He's played with hundreds of players - is Vini really the worst lol? I'd say Casemiro and Ederson look as bad for a start. Either way that is a totally unnecessary and harsh question to ask Neymar. I think he's just saying Vini for banter tbh.

Fell asleep and missed them - well done to Canada. Think I predicted 1-1 there. I am still annoyed I keep missing these games but there isn't much I can do as my sleep pattern is set to be awake fair early and asleep by about 11pm or midnight at the moment. How did Argentina play? Seen it was a...

I have seen a few recent photos like this and it's worrying how emaciated he looks. He's a professional athlete and shouldn't be this slim. I hope he's okay behind the scenes because I have been really skinny like this before (not now) and it is no fun. You constantly feel tired, headaches etc.

Ok, so what do people think for Group E tomorrow? I assume people think Belgium will defeat Ukraine. But Slovakia-Romania looks really difficult to call. It could be a draw which would send both through if there's a winner in the other game. I have predicted 1-0 Romania though.

It's just from playing and watching football all my life, It's an obvious thing that often a team can be better than its individual players - and other teams can be worse as they're just a collection of ballers thrown together with no coherent plan, clue or idea. Coaching really is a very...

He's definitely better than the other two but still not entirely sure. Then again, I am willing to acknowledge I may be underrating him.

Yeah I like Simons, I agree with you there.

I have watched them mate. They are decent, I just wouldn't describe them as 'top'. I agree Aslani is a talented guy. Maybe it is splitting hairs. I am not saying they're terrible. Just that I don't believe they are top or world-class players. Anyway, this is all said with respect as I am not...

I understand that, Austria are better than the sum of their parts. But I don't think there's a great disparity with the Dutch, to be honest. I'd say Baumgartner gets in too. So those Laimer, him and Sabitzer would all be in the Dutch team I would say. I am not saying they're world beaters, as...

Birdy? Yeah he seems a good lad. I just don't know why he is rating those players so highly.

He seems a very nice guy, Birdy. I just don't understand how he can call those players 'top players'. They clearly are not. Then people will slag off similar players from less fashionable countries. Football is not played on paper, it's played on grass. You don't win anything through being...

Yeah I don't get how anyone describes nothing or at best decent players like Reijnders, Maatsen, Dumfries and Malen as 'top players'. No chance he'd say that if they were wearing an Albanian top.

Furthermore, all of England's best players are Kane, Stones and the wingers/attacking midfielders. They are top heavy. It is like when idiots slagged off Messi cos of how 'strong' the Argentina squad was - even though their best players were all forwards and only so many can play at once. There...

What makes them top players exactly? They're big 'names' but they rarely impress to be honest. As an example, I have watched Malen a lot, and I would never describe him as a 'top player'. Ditto Maatsen. If they were Slovenian or Georgian and not Dutch, would you still describe them as top...

Not sure on Dumfries, De Ligt, Maatsen, Reijnders, Malen. Depay is ok but not a world beater. I mean people say that netherlands are much better on paper than Austria. Are Reijnders or Koopmeiners better than Baumgartner or Sabitzer? Or just more hyped? They play in good clubs mostly but still...

Yeah both have been very underwhelming.

So the third place teams are becoming a little clearer. England will play either Netherlands or the third place in Group E. Portugal will play Hungary or Slovenia. Spain will play third from E or F.

Austria or Switzerland can beat them.

it went to disciplinary points.

Peak time in USA is later, lol. Although there's lots of time zones over there so who knows.
