Ivory Coast 1-3 Norway France 3-2 Sweden Mexico 1-0 Ecuador

What a mess of a shoot-out. Bono didn’t even dive for any and still won 😄

Again, I wanted to go to bed. 😆

Wow! Germany are going to feel hard done by. Paraguay missing three chances in a row to win and then still winning is crazy. Italy have stole all of the headlines by not qualifying but Germany’s last three World Cups have been awful too!

Don’t think it was a foul but the commentary is a tad over the top.

Ffs I was hoping this was going to finish in 90 minutes so I could get a couple hours kip before the 2am game.

(07) Michael - £137,967 (-57%) Weeks: 10 (£52,754,198) Falling out: Masters Of The Universe (3 week) Star Wars: The Mandalorian And Grogu (5 weeks) Cocktail 2 (1 week) The Devil Wears Prada 2 (8 weeks) It feels like this summer, films have either been massive successes or major flops with no in-between and that trend has continued this week where ‘Toy Story 5’ has trounced its competition to gain a second week at #1 with another £9 million and a 40% (36% without previews) drop. With £29 million already in the bank, this is ahead of where ‘Toy Story 4’ (£26,989,023) was after two weekends and even further ahead of where the last big Pixar-sequel ‘Inside Out 2’ (£23,250,882) was at the same point. I have no idea if its helped or hindered, but the government has introduced the Great British Summer Scheme where VAT has been reduced on children’s tickets for attractions (including the cinema, theatre, restaurants etc) so, in theory, kid’s tickets should have been cheaper this week than last. Underwhelming on debut at #2 is ‘Supergirl’ with £2,725,612 (£2.1 million without previews). This is well below the £6,992,902 that ‘Superman’ opened with last year and was not the way DC wanted their new universe to kick-off, especially on a $180 million budget. The slight good news is that this is better than two of the films in the disastrous end of the DCEU in 2023 (‘Blue Beetle’ (£1,189,812, #3 and ‘Aquaman and The Lost Kingdom’ (£2,489,068, #2). However, ‘Aquaman’ didn’t have previews and had the nice Christmas extended run and ended with about £10 million which I cannot see this troubling. It’s even worse news in America where it has opened with just $38 million (compared to the $125 million opening for ‘Superman’ last year). The rumours are already suggesting that James Gunn might be relieved of his duties as the head of DCU films after just two releases. For comparison of how bad superhero films have fell off in recent years, the £7,206,458 debut of ‘The Marvels’ was seen as a tragedy. Although with such a low budget, I don’t think it was possible for it to be a flop but ‘Jackass: Best And Last’ has an underwhelming debut at #4 (£781,483). Not the way you want to bow out for a film marketed as the final entry which this only marginally beating the opening for the franchise’s lowest entry (and my favourite entry) ‘Jackass Number Two’ (£735,274, #5, 2006) despite 20 years of inflation. The fourth film, ‘Forever’ was released only four years ago and had the best opening (£2,091,017, #2, 2022) and best total gross (£6.3 million). Although, if you want to count the narrative spin-off, ‘Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa’ (£1,940,476, #3, 2013), this then becomes the top grosser with £6.5 million. I think this has been hampered by the fact that it’s a bit of a clip show and not all new material. It’s definitely made me think that I’ll just wait until I can watch it at home. The next best opening is anime release ‘ Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War: The Calamity’ (£210,660, #7). This is a package of the first three episodes of the final series of the popular anime. The full series is set to be released on Disney+ in the UK. This is the best result so far this year for a new anime, although the re-release of ‘Akira’ (£884,729, #5) is definitely the high point for the genre overall. The final new entry this week is the latest National Theatre release ‘Les Liaisons Dangereuses: NT Live 2026’ (£162,940, #9) that has made over £600k when you consider its midweek showings. This one stars Lesley Manville and Aiden Turner. Can it become the first NT release of 2026 to gross over £1 million after ‘All My Sons’ (£867k) and ‘The Playboy Of The Western World (£635k) have fallen short? ‘Disclosure Day’ completed a satisfying #1-#2-#3 run after a 49% in week 3 which is enough for it to join the £10 million+ club, the 17th such member directed by Spielberg. But the most impressive holder again is ‘Obsession’ which bags a seventh week in the top 5 with a 37% drop week-to-week. ‘Michael’ bags another week in the top 10 after a 57% drop while the final two holders are ‘Scary Movie’ (-60%) and ‘Backrooms’ (-56%). There are two further new entries in the #11-15 section: ‘A Private Life’ (#11) and ‘Carry On Jatta 4’ (#15). Next week sees the openings of ‘Minions & Monsters’, ‘The Invite’, ‘Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie’, ‘Alpha’, ‘Birds Of War’, ‘Bat Out Of Hell: The Musical’, ‘My Father’s Island’ and ‘Oh My Goodness!’. We also get a re-release of ‘Taxi Driver’. Can any of them top the charts? ~ Jackass openings: Jackass: The Movie (£1,314,740, #2, 2003) Jackass Number Two (£735,274, #5, 2006) Jackass 3D (£1,696,909, #2, 2010) Jackass Forever (£2,091,017, #2, 2022) Jackass: Best And Last (£781,483, #4, 2025) ~ Summer Box Office Top 5: 1.

I thought Brazil deserved it. I don't feel like Japan have lived up to the expectations at all in this tournament.

Brazil 2-1 Japan Germany 2-0 Paraguay Netherlands 2-2 Morocco

Pretty rubbish match overall but never felt like it was going to be South Africa that got through.

South Africa 0-2 Canada

Who knew there was more demand for an M Huncho album in 2026 than a Fredo album?

Bloody hell, where did that end of the Austria Algeria match come from? They had been passing around for 20 mins and looked like they had both settled for a draw. Poor Iran who have been knocked out with the last touch of the game after their drama yesterday.

Rooney, Lucas and Richards are talking some rubbish saying that the offside Colombia goal wasn't offside.

Dr Congo are tonight and set to play England! The Uzbekistan goal was a banger and the (unfairly) ruled out equaliser was brilliant too.

Was focused on the other game but did have this on in the background as well and the VAR for Ghana’s goal went on forever.

Pretty rubbish but at least we finished top.

Croatia 2-0 Ghana Panama 0-3 England Colombia 2-2 Portugal DR Congo 2-0 Uzbekistan Algeria 1-1 Austria Jordan 0-3 Argentina

For Scotland to go through, they need all three of these things to happen Ghana to beat Croatia by three or more goals DR Congo not to beat Uzbekistan Austria to beat Algeria by two or more goals OR Algeria to beat Austria by four or more goals

What drama at the end of that Egypt Iran game. Iran had a goal ruled out and then hit the crossbar in the last 3 minutes of added time when it would have saw them in the knock-outs for the first time. The offside was literally be a tie as well. Now they need to wait and see. They would need all three groups to against them tomorrow for them not to make it.

What a night for Cape Verde! I think Bielsa might be gone tonight.

Senegal have given themselves a chance. The missed penalty ruined any chance of a Norway comeback. Scotland now need four from the final five groups on their favour if they are to go through. Could be out by the time the late kickoffs finish tonight.

Norway 0-2 France Senegal 3-0 Iraq Cape Verde 2-1 Saudi Arabia Uruguay 1-2 Spain Egypt 2-1 Iran New Zealand 1-3 Belgium

I wish we could have had Australia and Paraguay both doing out and Turkey going through instead. I had a feeling that Turkey were going to win tonight but I bottled it on the predictor and put a draw (and was about 30 seconds away from getting 5 points for it).

I think Japan have been pretty disappointing in this group stage and wouldn’t have begrudged Sweden if they found the winner. Another group gone for Scotland. It’s not looking good for them.
