Watching the Marocco v Norway game and ITV had no commentary for the whole of the first half. Hope that's not a sign of things to come from ITV this World Cup! Second half they now have commentary from an American broadcast ��

If I were him I'd be considering medical retirement, not continuing to push my luck.

Sounds like a technical issue with the sound, which I'm sure they will fix.

Watched the whole game and it didn't get fixed so whatever the technical issue was it must of been a big one. Hopefully they won't have any issues when the World Cup starts.

On my third Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) now and l am surprised they are allowing him to play as l cannot even do swimming as a exercise because of my heart function because of my dilated cardiomyopathy.

Having had several shocks from the ICD its quite a thing when it gives one a shock.

Re: World Cup 2026

Hopefully Christian Eriksen will be okay but agree with other he should now retire.

Re: World Cup 2026

Opening Ceremonies - the most tedious viewing ever, whether its the Olympics or World Cup. We"re not interested in dancers with their ribbons unless they're kicking a football or each other...

It is just temporary. I mean better him than naming a street after the orange balloon.

He'll be jealous of having a street though. He will want one.
