What a feast we’ve got today: the World Champions, the greatest footballer of all time, and an underdog with enough talent to make this genuinely awkward. I’m not quite as giddy about the punting as I am for Norway v…
Safe to say I’m a bit salty today after Belgium scored from one of their two shots on target, only fashioning 0.34 xG across the 90 minutes. My under 2.5 goals was perhaps getting a bit big for my boots…
The quarter finals kicked off with France brushing aside Morocco, exactly as tipped in this column, and Kylian Mbappé stretching his legs in the Golden Boot race. That battle is only getting tastier: Kane, Haaland, Messi, and tonight’s headline act…

It all started so well for my World Cup wagers on Friday with Australia and Egypt playing out the 1–1 I’d lined up. From there, the whole thing went off a cliff. Argentina couldn’t find a second‑half goal, or even…
Rafael Leão was about an inch of crossbar away from being Tommy’s toast of the tournament. He laid on Portugal’s winner against Croatia, and also nearly took the roof off the stadium with a second‑half thunderbolt that would’ve landed a…
Another day of World Cup wagers, another day where a bet managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. How Senegal contrived to miss out on the last‑16 I’ll never know, but what I do know is I’ll be…
