Rio comes on at HT for England. Playing on the RW, seeing plenty of the ball so far. edit: puts in an excellent first-time pass to Toney in the box but he can't control it.
Saw the Rio highlights. There were so many it seemed like they took them from 4 games instead of part of one. And that was playing on the right.
Christian Eriksen collapsed after the hour mark against Ukraine. Horrible. Hopefully he makes a full recovery.
"Christian is doing well and walked off the pitch by himself," said Denmark's national team doctor Morten Boesen. "As I see it, the pacemaker responded as it should. He was briefly unconscious, but regained consciousness very quickly, and we were quickly in contact with him. "He will now undergo further examinations at the hospital to determine what caused the incident." ---------- Even if he recovers 100%, he should retire from the game, immediately. Putting his family and his teammates through this again would be intolerable.
Multiple people were injured in a mass shooting that took place Saturday morning, nearly five miles from England’s World Cup base in Kansas City, Missouri. At least nine adults were taken to nearby hospitals after police responded to reports of shots fired on 79th Street and Troost Avenue around 4 a.m. Saturday, police said. The intersection is roughly 4.6 miles from England’s base camp in Swope Soccer Village. All of those injured were taken to hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries and are expected to survive, Captain Jake Becchina of the Kansas City Police Department said in a statement. No suspects are in custody at this time, but the Kansas City Police Department is investigating the shooting. England’s players and staff were not on-site during the incident, as they are currently training in Florida.
Nothing to see here - except to note - if you are into hip-hop, avoid the late night parties... Cue - accusations of stereotyping here. (But I'm betting no-one wants to take bets on the kind of morons who were involved in this.....)
Reports of quite a few Scottish fans having their visas approved, buying flights and accommodation, then having the visas withdrawn.

Hahaha ... what else is going to go wrong .... https://www.theguardian.com/football/2026/jun/09/stadium-hotel-workers-strike-world-cup Hospitality and food service workers in several US cities hosting World Cup games are warning of looming labor disputes and possible strikes as the largest single sport tournament in the world gets ready to kick off on 11 June. In Los Angeles, California, cashiers, dishwashers, cooks, bartenders, concessions workers and food attendants at the SoFi stadium reached a tentative agreement on Tuesday afternoon, but the union noted it had a contractual right to walk off the job if it determines that federal immigration enforcement is threatening worker safety during the World Cup. The US’s opening match, against Paraguay, is scheduled to take place at SoFi Stadium – rebranded as the Los Angeles Stadium for the tournament – on 12 June. About 2,000 workers at SoFi Stadium represented by Unite Here Local 11 had voted 96% in favor of a strike authorization before the agreement was reached on Tuesday. Workers are seeking a new union contract with wage increases and protections from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). “We’re just trying to make things fair,” said Eva Miles, a bartender at SoFi stadium since it opened in 2021. “Without us, they don’t have a stadium. Are they going to cook? Are they going to pour those drinks? Are they going to serve these people?”
