The Croatian keeper putting in more effort in this version

I used to play some kind of football management game by post. You'd be sent your squad and have to fill in your team, send it away and wait for the results to be posted back, and actually phoning people to arrange transfers thanks to the contact details being sent with the league table. Simpler*...

With the thread going five pages it's probably moved into slanging matches by now, but on the main subject I did notice last season that people were congregating in the aisles a lot more than I'd seen before. It's not something that generally bothers me until you see old folk or people with...

Don't think there's been an official team of the tournament yet, the one doing the rounds was a crafty fake - World Cup 2018: Team of the tournament leaked - Fake FIFA official XI fools internet

Reda's really lost his tan

Chris Morris ought to be getting royalties for the bit at the end.

I'm sure I read it'll be on in September somewhere EDIT - here we go Taskmaster Series 7 line-up revealed I think it'll be early September as there's an official book out on the 6th - Taskmaster: 200 Extraordinary Tasks for Ordinary People: Amazon.co.uk: Alex Horne: 9781785943584: Books...

Focusing on the girls is sexist and probably can't justify its place on a sport broadcast, but on the other hand there were plenty of shots of Gianni Infantino so there was something for the ladies too. Equality established, let's crack on as we were

Tony waiting for the right signings to become available

I like the guy behind the Salut site, shows it doesn't have to all be snarling animosity.

Next series is the last, sounds like the writers are finishing up rather than the show being axed though which is nice

That came completely from self-deprecation, it started when we were about to kick off a World Cup with Gareth Southgate as manager and so clearly we had no chance. Anyone seeing that and taking it at face value was really missing the point, it was always a form of gallows humour

I do miss Scotland being at tournaments, having nearly everyone there at the last Euros made it a lot more interesting. With the World Cup going to 48 teams in 2026 they've really got no excuse to not have reached one by then at the latest.

I'd be pleasantly surprised if there as many as three goals in the final, it's been a while since a proper two-sided goalfest. Modric was a joy to watch from the second half onwards last night, even if he looks like a witch and then moaned about the media saying that a team falling over with...

Going by the Irish eligibility as a guide, I'd qualify for a Scottish passport so if they ever did go independent and were part of the EU I'd apply. Can't give up that free data roaming on holiday now.

There's not much in the way of actual hate for the English as a whole, they do like to see our national team fail though as it's the only involvement they get in tournament football.

We watched the first episode and really liked it, feels like a proper slow burner. Pick up little elements of other shows in there too, The Sinner with the flashbacks and Bloodline for the mad sweatiness everywhere.

Croatia have a wealth of experience and know how to both chase a game down and close one out, we don't yet. Colombia were quarter-finalists last time and tipped as dark horses, Sweden saw their way past Holland, Italy and Germany to get as far as they did. It wasn't as daunting as facing Brazil...

Strange how the harder you work the luckier you get.

Oh right, so nothing.
