To think it was only six years ago that the most controversial things in British politics were George Osborne trying to tax hot pasties and Andrew Mitchell calling a police officer a pleb.

Anderson’s comments about fifth set breakers are fair, but I like the need for a break in the decider. A slam isn’t just about winning the final, it’s a seven-match marathon. The need to be efficient in all rounds is part of the game #Wimbledon

If any of the players or management have indeed not tried their hardest tonight in order to get a favourable quarter final we deserve everything we get if Colombia knock us out.
Just need Seb Larsson to bang one in and three players who have been at Sunderland in the last three years would have scored today in the #WorldCup #GERSWE
Good to see England back on track with a victory. Winning 18 in a row in 16/17 implied they were a better team than they are, losing 5 on the bounce made them look worse. A 26-6 (81%) record in tests is probably about right for Jones's tenure #RSAvENG

Perfect for Murray’s comeback. Wawrinka’s in a similar position but a few months further down the line so is a good reference point. Also, it’s another big match for him to get his teeth stuck into, like Kyrgios. No drama if he loses. xitter.gq/bbcsport/status/101051…

Still not convinced Belgium will win the World Cup, but not sure anyone in the tournament has as much potential to rip small teams apart. This one could be a cricket score.

For all of the All Blacks' incredible talent, I find it almost impossible to want them to win in a neutral match. Every time a team looks like they're going to run them close, as France have this series, something like this happens. xitter.gq/Smallclone/status/1010…
