WE’RE BACK! I’m talking to @JBennettWriter about his new book – ‘No Show: The World Cup Teams That Never Were’, covering some of the teams who missed out on the tournament and some of the legendary players who never made it onto the great stage.

My theory is that the Portuguese federation were trying to nudge CR out the door and treat the Wales match as a farewell, and then he just didn't retire so Jorge Jesus dropped him anyway and now it's all blown up

Spent a lot of time today thinking about how Graeme Souness went to Benfica and signed Brian Deane, Michael Thomas, Mark Pembridge, Dean Saunders, Gary Charles and Steve Harkness
Hard to believe Kevin Keegan's no longer with us - an omnipresent figure within English football for decades. Sad that he didn't get chance to say goodbye
Yeah that's true. Before the start of the tournament, I said there were 7 teams in with a chance of winning it (ESP, FRA, ENG, GER, POR, ARG, BRA). The only match between them before the semis was Spain-Portugal
Overall, a good World Cup, but not a great one. The narratives coalesced at the end nicely but very few notable shocks. The middle part of the tournament often felt like a grim march even if the football was quite good
