You think the contract allowed a very specific 5 day period for everything to be agreed and finalised?

Yes, but that doesn't mean it couldn't have been triggered BEFORE the season ended.

Great showing from Sweden here despite not necessarily deserving to be here.

Well no idea when the second shot was but the bet has paid out, get in.

That'll do it. Kerching. Edit; bollocks, an offside about 30 seconds after the shot FFS so it won't count.

And another blocked one. Really annoying.

Need another shot from Isak. He had one earlier but blocked shots are counted differently by betting companies 🙄

Potter is going to sub Isak off before he gets another shot on target, you watch. Come on just a pea roller into the keepers arms will do.

No idea who the woman presenting is on ITV but she's absolutely grating on me, doing the pretentious thing that I really hate where she's putting over the top accents on words to make sure everyone knows that she knows how to say them, even Carney seemed pissed off with her then when she suggested not being critical of a player because it was his first world cup.

Aye. One more Isak shot on target and a goal for Victor. Valéry nowhere to be seen there with Isak running down his flank.

What a hit.

I'm looking at Isak drifting out wide and being up against Valery and thinking he'll make an impact.

You'd think so. Got a decent bet reliant on those two doing well - Isak 2+ shots on target, Gyokeres 1+ shot on target and both players to score anytime, 31/4. Tenner returns 80 something quid.

Not a bad amount for both parties tbh.

Rubbish.

Played really well, made a difference since coming on. Should be able to get a decent fee for him if he continues to impress.

Think the reaction by some on here is odd to be honest, I wish him all the best and fully understand why he would want to take the opportunity to get one last big contract/play at a higher level. People talk about loyalty, we could have shown it by extending his contract at any point of the second half of the season when he was a big part of what was happening. Instead we were waiting until after the playoff final - why? The most likely reason being that if we got promoted we wouldn't want to extend him. No loyalty there from us.

If that were the case we'd still be able to extend his contract surely. Pretty sure he's a free agent now.

Do we have anyone else? Sugawara I guess but don't really consider him ours.

Didn't expect to be watching George Lucas eat a donut live on TV at 2:29am. Not sure I'm actually awake.

USA look annoyingly good. Their cocky fans have been doing my head in during the build up to the tournament. Even with average players, Poch can get a good unit going. Atmosphere is fucking shocking though.

Ready for the Canada game later.

Large scale alterations to the cultural outlook of the country is not a necessary sacrifice anywhere else in the world, so shouldn't be here.

I've been against mass immigration and called a racist for it for a long time mate believe me, however I still saw the value in controlled immigration. Now i'm at the point where I think we should just shut the borders down, immediately deport everyone awaiting a refugee or asylum claim regardless of consequences and then just operate a strictly one in one out process, with the ones in being strictly vetted. Jesus, even Australia's system is more strict and they're letting in too many.
