Peru are impressive.

No idea where they got Carrillo from, but he's not the player who was at Watford last season

This 5 mins of injury time at the end of matches is getting silly.

I like it. It stops players dicking about wasting time as it’s going to get added no matter what.

[Puggit]

But why are all matches 5 mins? Surely there should be some variance?

They were always 2 at the end of the first half and then 3 at the end of the second no matter what.

Croatia v Nigeria coming up - should be a good one. I think Nigeria have a lot more to show than what they served up against England.

Their squad looks impressive IMO and they turned it up quite well against England in the second half of that game.

Looking forward to this one

Agreed, second half was a taster of what they should be able to do.

McCoist - throwback to 70s punditry.

Dull viewing so far.

Did that go down as an OG? Guessing it should have.

Imagine doing that during a game like this, ouch!

Had to turn it over at half time, I've had sts more interesting than that lot in the studio.

Keane does look displeased, is the hospitality bar closed?

Garbage game on the whole, I was hoping for more.

Good to see a penalty for holding. Not nearly enough of that in the modern game.

The BBC always make a far better job. Although I'm not seeing what the females add to the panel as yet. The couple so far don't come across as having the knowledge or conviction when discussing points.

Their primary aim is to add to the quota. Hopefully their input will improve, it needs to.

On the flip side, Gabby Yorath is excellent when used for links. Or is it Logan now?

Alex Scott my favourite pundit so far, not so much for what she says...

I think she talks a lot of sense.
