Côte d'Ivoire vs. Norway: an entertaining watch and an insane listen. Danny Mills telling us he used to have a cat called Bob who "jumped in the back of a Royal Mail van" never to be seen again. Steve Bower declaring "he is the distance" as the camera panned to Erling Haaland at full-time. Gabby Logan saying you "couldn't write a script like it" whilst Erling Haaland scoring in a narrow Norway win was the most likely outcome at any given point. Should've given them a longer break after the group stage... 😅

Never in doubt. 😉 Erling Haaland taps home ANOTHER Turbo Boost winner.

👀 | FACT: Amad has now scored more World Cup knockout stage goals than Cristiano Ronaldo.

🤔 | Lionel Messi? Kylian Mbappe? Erling Halaand? Just who has impressed @officialbarnesy at the World Cup (and which player has the best chance of winning the golden boot)?

🇳🇴 | Erling Haaland has only played two World Cup games and has already scored four goals... Will he show up against Ivory Coast?

My grandad saw the genius minds of Johan Cruyff and Rinus Michels revolutionise the beautiful game in the 1970s. My dad watched Marco van Basten, Ruud Gullit & Frank Rijkaard lead Oranje to eternal glory in the late 1980s. Even the Netherlands sides of my youth boasted the brilliance of Wesley Sneijder, Rafael van der Vaart, Arien Robben, Robin van Persie and Ruud Van Nistelrooy. Yet here I am, in 2026, struggling to stay awake in front of a Dutch side playing Micky van de Ven as a winger and lads from Sunderland and West Ham up front. Rough. 🤢

You know what, it might have been worth two hours of some of the worst football we've ever seen to watch Germany go out in a penalty shootout for the first time in World Cup history... 😂

🤔 | Should Germany's extra time goal have stood?

"Something just a little bit different," shouts Guy Mowbray as Germany score from their 376th cross of the night...

Just a reminder 🫡

Manuel Neuer at this World Cup reminds us of when the 50+ year old bloke at your five-a-side reluctantly goes in net and he'll save anything that comes straight at him but as soon as it's mildly out of reach he'll just watch it roll past him and blame the nearest CB...

Leroy Sane in 2026, stoppable player, beatable on his day, makes the impossible still impossible, believable.

🇧🇷 | Brazil needed a hero and in the dying embers of added time, Gabriel Martinelli answered the call!

English commentators have started referring to the sections of the game as 'quarters' and I think we can all agree this is where we need to put a stop to this nonsense...
