A bit like how Brighton got into the EPL. Sometimes the end justifies the means.

They don't like the way he left Brighton for Chelsea

I think this is the saddest thing about Brexit, the fact that freedom of movement of labour and residency is so restricted now. The way the European Parliament works does seem to be very undemocratic, though. You vote for an MEP whose only role is to rubber stamp laws proposed by unelected...

When did they close it?

Well, we've got tomorrow's anti-football to come.

He's a bit weird. In one of the games he did an assist. This led to a goal celebration where instead of Ronaldo and the other players all running over to the scorer as one might expect, Ronaldo kind of ran backwards away from the goalscorer such that the goalscorer and the rest of the team all...

I think it behoves those who arrive in a place to adapt to the host culture.

That's true. Makes me wonder 2 things. I don't get why the Lib Dems, when finally given the opportunity, didn't insist on making the referendum about PR instead of the Alternative Vote thing. And had the referendum offered PR, would the British electorate have gone for it?

We had a referendum about a decade or so ago asking the British people whether they would like to swap the current First Past The Post system for something more representative, and they said no thanks 🙄

I much prefer it when they tell you where you are in the queue. Then at least you know you are making progress.

So Southgate is like the England version of Chris Hughton. Ugly football but gets results.

Apparently the trains in Germany are among the worst in Europe, surprisingly

I saw that Glen Hoddle has said that Pep Guardiola should replace Southgate. That would certainly be interesting.

It's a bit of a national embarrassment actually. Perhaps we need the government to do something like they did when we slumped to our lowest ever medal tally in the Olympics. They introduced the National Lottery and with Lottery funding our medal haul shot up. What could they do to help? 🤔

Sounds about right.

It's a shame we didn't take the World Cup seriously in the early days. We probably would have cleaned up in the '30s when Uruguay and Italy were winning it, but we didn't think it worth bothering with as we were so far ahead of the rest of the world (probably true, too, back then). We preferred...

Pretty good, then. Means we've won as many knockout matches away as Italy and Germany have each won actual world cups. Not as many as Brazil, though.

We won two knockout matches in Italy in 1990 (Belgium and Cameroon).

I'm hoping the players themselves are going to instigate something. They're all top professionals, some of them might even be coaches one day, they should know what they've got to do. I remember Messi trying to take the Argentina team by the scruff of the neck back in 2018 when it wasn't...

Spain fall behind to an early goal, just like England.
