World Cup 2018 | 23rd June Matches | Next Match: Germany vs Sweden, KO 19:00 (BST)

Sorry this is a bit late and relates to the earlier game, but listened in the car to the Belgium v Tunisia game on 5 Live earlier, the commentary provided by Alister Bruce-Ballbag and Chris Sutton, and towards the end of the first half they started banging on about colleague Terry Butcher’s difficulties in a Moscow supermarket last night. Apparently, it took him over thirty five minutes to buy three items: soap powder, a carton of milk and a packet of biscuits. (All suggestions helpful.) The checkout assistant, they joked, didn’t understand him, was sour-faced and took an age to deal with his purchases! Well, welcome to Moscow, Terry! But they added, in a tone of sheer incredulity, that much to his annoyance at the time, the supermarket employee “ didn’t recognise who he was!”. I suppose it’s because he wasn’t sporting a blood- spattered England shirt, a bandage around his head and a look of ‘heroic Thee Lions defiance’. Still, full marks for venturing out of your hotel room, Terry.

He probably spent 33 if those minutes complaining about Maradona’s handball.
 
Not quite. But a draw would mean Mexico and Sweden could collude to draw and knock them out.

Could be a great game!

Can't see past Germany winning still. Don't think this Sweden team have it in them to expose Germany like Mexico did.
