Fun game. Gives them both a decent chance of going through.

Good game, think Canada might be a bit disappointed with the result, they probably should have won that

Disappointed with that but not too bad.

Bosnia dealt with a lot of crosses and corners easily and we probably needed to get it on the floor more around their box but we are missing a player who can unlock a defence.

Felt we were probably the better side overall and the chances Bosnia had were set pieces or poor decisions we made with the ball.

Need to win against Qatar but that's always been the case. Do that and we are likely through.

Our best player today definitely Ismael Kone, made some mistakes but has all the tools to control a midfield.

ITV vs BBC is always a big thing for the World Cup.

Usually the BBC win that battle, but it’s ITV’s year this year.

Everything about the BBC seems so cheap this year.

I can see the BBC reasoning, licence fee getting spunked on a fancy looking, mainly green screen studio on a New York balcony thousands of miles from the game they're talking about and putting up their pundits on a 6 week jolly or a studio set up in Salford thousands of miles from the game they're talking about and not paying a fortune for the pundits to be on a 6 week jolly. And that's ITV who say they are always having to cut costs as advertising revenue gets harder to generate.

Think the BBC have done right given how widespread the games are, with more people questioning the funding model it wouldn't be a good look spend a fortune having lots of pundits and hangers on there.
