Thought Bolton were great, Preston were dreadful though. Saying that it should've been 2-2 with a golden chance missed right at the death. Bolton 1000% deserved winners though, huge 3 points to start the season. Think Preston could be in trouble this season...

Competitive game, thought Blackburn played very well and surprised people. Had them playoff chasers myself. Wolves will still have a strong season despite the setback tonight. They just need to settle down after such a poor season, their players have too much quality to be anything but top 3. Highlight of the match goes to my prophetic comment though, I felt it minutes before the penalty.

The world cup final is over. This tournament has been incredible, and this community has made it far more enjoyable. Thank you to everyone who has played a part in this incredible community. I have loved posting my penguin GIF throughout the tournament. Thank you for making posting a short clip of a penguin kicking a ball infront of a second tier spanish side's badge special. I was born in Sutton on October 7th, 2006. Just under two years later my brother was born, and a year after that we moved to South-West London, where I have lived ever since. I may not be a Castellon fan, but I am an Arsenal fan, like my brother and my parents. We sit and watch all of the matches together, unless we're at the Emirates. I was introduced to Bookd by my brother. I saw him talking on this app and it looked intriguing, so I asked him what the app was, and I downloaded it. Thank you, @elz , for introducing me to Bookd. I found the penguin GIF simply by typing "football" into the GIFs tab. I am unable to recreate this. Perhaps it was fate that I found that GIF. I am 19 years old, and entering the second year of my Games Design university course at my University in central london. I have always had a passion for games. I hope to one day unite my passions for game creation and for football. If anyone wishes to check out my work, play my newest, and by far my best game, Leviathan, at https://spitefulcurb43.itch.io/leviathan . I will continue posting my penguin GIF throughout matches, but expect me to speak actual words from time to time in the Bookd chat. This community is excellent, and recently I have been wondering what will happen after this tournament ends. I have decided we need a Discord server. Everyone is welcome to join. Here is the link: https://discord.gg/Y9Yf7NHBe Once again, thank you to Bookd's developers, community, and most of all, thank you to the gimmicks. I will be able to answer any questions you may have in the replies. And now, for the last time this WC:

How one day you think you have it all, then the next absolute heartbreak and devastation... I've had to redo this review because this was one of the influential Youri Tielemans games. What a player, what a guy. When he first arrived, we were told by some Leicester fans that he was "finished". He was "slow", "overweight" and wasn't any good. How wrong were they... He took a few months to adjust to the Emery system, in and out of the first team. But when he settled, man we had the best ball playing midfielder in the Premier League. I've shared this story with @leslieee ,when Youri and the Villa squad went to visit Birmingham Children's Hospital, he was so kind to my friends sister. Amazing human being that will be deeply missed by all of us at Aston Villa. I'm glad he left on such a high note. Good luck Youri, we love you 💜💙

Really good game, very tight from both sides and also a great goal being scored by Yazmeen Ryan. Deserved a winner but sadly did not get that. Sonis put in a insane shift, had the most touches in attacking areas and created the most chances as well so she’s easily the best player this game. (Cant pick her though in potm)

Great game from Seattle, huge upset because i had Portland winning this one somewhat comfortably. I can name them all but honestly all the defense and midfield of Seattle put in a shift and a half, a shit ton of defcon from all of them but especially McClernon. Cassie Miller fantastic too with 9 saves. Portland with 26 shots but no goals is just so bad. Makes the title race really fun.

First id like to say fuck Ronaldo, 2009 will not be forgotten. I would also like to say that as I’m known for my tactical analysis that Roberto Martínez is a fraud and should give his coaching licenses to me because i genuinely think i would make a better manager than him. I think the first half wasnt as bad as many people said. To me it was okay, ive seen muuuuch worse and there were some exciting moments. Cristiano Ronaldo played disappointingly as expected, but theres something beautiful yet weird about watching one of the greatest of all time to be this washed, i dont quite know how to explain that feeling because i also just really dislike him as a human so maybe that impacts some of it. He had zero touches in the box throughout the first half which for him is just disastrous, long gone are the days of him being the best in the world. Vitinha has been very disappointing too, just plays very safe but its also necessary because if he risks things than the attack will not be able to do anything useful as they are awful lmao. A super defensive Croatia too, not too many attacks from their side which was disappointing to see. Second half started incredible honestly, immediately some chances and who else than 37 year old Ivan Perišić scoring the opener. Most goals on World Cups now for Croatia. Almost a insane equalizer from Rafael Leão right after, im a huge hater so seeing how he hit that woodwork made me a bit nervous lmao. What a hit though. Ronaldo finally scoring a knockout goal! But it was offside, brilliant goal if he timed that run better. He got his knockout goal anyway though, not the best pen he has taken but it went in anyway. 100% pen too, no way around it. With that he becomes the oldest goalscorer in World Cup knockouts at 41 years and 147 days. Another fun fact i saw was two of the 7 oldest goalscorers scoring within 15 minutes of each other. Also as many international tournament goals as Ronaldo Nazario now with 25. More in comments

Bad match, bosnia looked poor, awful goalkeeping on that second clean sheet, US is a cringe nation in its entirety, honestly nothing good at all to say about this match. @ernad in an attempt to cheer you up I have attatched a photo of miscellaneous snacks that I was given by my local bosnian mosque on Eid, along with some more cat videos as they have been getting positive reviews as of late.

I am under the impression that the more English of a day I have on an England matchday, the higher England's chances. I went to a seaside arcade, played the 2p machines, and had fish and chips for lunch. For the first hour and a half of this game, my superstitions seemed futile. England seem to take dangerously long to get going. It was a difficult watch. I was watching the game begging for a creative attacking midfielder to come on. Eberechi Eze performed silent miracles after his substitution, Saka and Gordon should undoubtedly start against Mexico alongside O'Reilly and Spence. Elliot Anderson played excellently. He was by far our best player, particularly for the first sixty minutes. I am terrified for the Mexico game, but I believe we can do this. Come on England. @alf I am very glad that the "Hello Freddie" GIF has arrived!! Thank you for creating it, I smile whenever i see it. (GIF attached below.) @labubu I found a Labubu in the arcade 2p machines. (Image attached below.)

This morning I went for a walk around a park and I went to the beach. I am in a seaside town and it is wonderfully quiet as the summer holidays have not yet begun. I have had a great day and this match was a cherry on top. Japan function excellently as a unit and are a joy to watch. Brazil's display was twice as exciting. Their individual brilliance and flair was on display all throughout the game as it always is. The winner was a clear example of this. I find this result therefore gives me a lot of hope for the state of football. I believe that creativity is what should come to the surface at the highest level of competition. Japan played an excellent game tonight but Brazil have got stars of which can come up with moments, and those moments were on display tonight. We love Gabriel Martinelli.

Writing this review this late will certainly reduce like ceiling (#bookdterminology), but I shall write it regardless out of love for my nation. Follow @taha for more #bookdterminology👍 Honestly not at all a good match, South Africa took very little risk going forward, and Canada played like the entire team was sleep deprived. It was incredibly annoying seeing us repeatedly getting into semi-dangerous positions, just for an improperly weighted pass or poor first touch to give South Africa sufficient time to recover. I can see why that would be boring to watch as a neutral, as an active supporter it was painful. Alphonso Davies is good at football. Tl;dr boring boring boring follow @carbonfiverr for more match analysis. 👍 The ‘FIFA Fan Festival’ is a disgrace to this sport. 18,000 people in a field in 30 degree heat with 1 singular water bottle refill station, wonderful. Thankfully you can purchase a bottle of water from the Coca-Cola concession stand for the low low price of $6.00 - Dasani water at that, not even a decent water brand. My ongoing theory is that Coca-Cola Corporation intentionally makes Dasani taste like pool water in the hopes that it makes soda seem more appealing to water in comparison, although I have no evidence for this. Completely corporatized event that sucks the soul out of the sport. The environment at Nathan Philips Square is significantly better despite having a miniscule screen that 95% of the crowd is unable to see as it feels as if it fosters a genuine sense of community, ‘FIFA Fan Festival’ kills said sense of community. Follow @mcsauced for more left-wing talking points. 👍 Wore my Spurs home shirt today, surprisingly only received 2 “what do we think of Tottenham”’s directed at me, and one was from my friend from high school. Very surprised at the kindness shown by Toronto gooners. Follow @coys for more Spurs content👍 follow @elz for more Gooner content (#doubleentendre)👍 Took a picture of CN Tower for bookd review👍
