I have a feeling injuries will significantly hamper his whole career. Seems like a nice chap but (potentially) somebody else's problem now I guess.

Apart from one miss, the other 4 England penalties were pretty top quality.

I watched the USA v Sweden penalty shootout yesterday. And am watching the England shootout now. I don't think I've seen so many off target penalties in years (think about 4 yesterday and 3 of the first 4 so far today). C'mon England though!

The women are clearly determined to prove they're as stupid as the men.

First dropped points of the season at home yesterday. Could have been worse but for an injury time equaliser.

Does seem very odd that it has been credited to Armstrong. Surely, it it touched him, it should only be classed as a deflection given that I'm pretty sure Tella's shot was on target. If it really was AA's goal, then I am intrigued to know if Tella gets credited with the 'official' assist and, far more importantly, whether it can be classified as a successful pass. From what I can see, it doesn't appear on the pass map above for some reason (i.e. assuming there should be another gold star to denote a goal?).

Good morning folks. Lets just all enjoy being top of the league for a few hours and continue with the incessant moaning at a later date.

4-3. Could go either way.

Sail-super over-rated.

You should get one of those modern "smart" TVs which have different channels. Be warned, the technology is quite progressive though.

How often have they correctly predicted 2nd place though, eh?

Exactly. Why does it have to be all or nothing?

Alcaraz - 0 A Armstrong - 84 Tella - 0 Sulemana - 0 S Armstrong - 0 Mara - 0 Aribo - 35 Djenepo - 1 (og / pen) Edozie - 0 Finish as Champions.

Wouldn't 'family of 5' mean 3 children?

Haven't watched much of this world cup so far, but from what I have seen, the standard of refereeing has been appalling. For some reason decided to watch the last 15 minutes or so of China v Haiti. Haiti were awarded one penalty, in about the 85th minute, which was given immediately by the ref. Then for some reason it was over turned when the ref looked at the monitor (it definitely would have been a soft penalty, but not soft enough for it to be over turned) (side note, are the referees mic'd up in this world cup to announce VAR decisions over the tannoy? Looked like it/sounded like it...?). Then a few minutes later there was another penalty shout. The easiest penalty decision you'll ever see, but it wasn't given, or even checked by VAR. Then the last kick of the game there could (arguably) have been another penalty for Haiti, which again wasn't checked. Haiti's manager did get booked for complaining about it though.

What an equally strange response.

What a strange response.

Got it!

Can get that red one cheaper here: https://www.marksandspencer.com/spiderman-short-pyjama-set-2-8-yrs-/p/clp60601889 The blue one (which you haven't included a picture of) is nicest of the three. Which brings me to my next question. How do you attach pictures to posts? I'm too thick to work it out.

Bottled it. Doesn't think he can handle the pressure of playing against our biggest rivals.

Agreed, I quite like all 3 kits (though not seen any in the flesh yet). I couldn't care less about the "meaning" behind them though and can't imagine anyone else does either.

Now back in the Premier League with Burnley. Should have kept him.

Protest it. Don't waste your money.

Agreed, I have no doubt Barcelona will be signing him up too in a year or so to play alongside Romeu.

You don't have to read them through every time mate. Most tickets have more or less the same standard text / stadium rules etc.
