Lovely strike by TAA.

Commanding performance by Dunk. He can be happy with that. Should be enough to get him in the final squad.

Here comes VAR to liven the game up.

Apparently there's Football Cops on Channel 4 after the match has finished. Probably just as well as this game's not much cop.

True.

Build it up, tear it down.

With the convoluted qualification process, England will almost certainly qualify even if they finished 3rd in the group. Top 2 go through automatically, 3rd and 4th go into the playoffs where England would be seeded in both games. "In the first round, the eight teams finishing third and fourth...

"As with all the Women’s Euros qualifiers at this level, there will be goal-line technology in use but there will not be a VAR." - Tom Garry https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2024/05/31/england-vs-france-live-score-updates-womens-euro-2025/

Plenty of French pace on the break. With Bronze defensively suspect, Bright not the quickest, Williamson back from serious injury and Carter on a yellow, it's a concern.

When any manager has failed domestically, it's highly unlikely that he'll succeed internationally with a major footballing nation. With 2 weeks to go, I'm not convinced Southgate knows his starting XI, let alone the most effective formation for them. If England do succeed, it'll be purely on...

With Susanna Hoffs on lead guitar and backing vocals, that's perfectly understandable. Yeah Baby!

And to think it was staring us in the face all the time.

"Congratulations on your purchase. You have made an excellent choice." That's an excellent strategy, but I'd honestly make an exception for the remaining 3 episodes. There's nothing like seeing great TV as it's shown at the time, especially in an age where whole series are released in one go...

Yes please. Good to hear that Gurjit's taking some time off at last for some well-earned R&R. He couldn't have picked a nicer destination.

Since it's been a quiet week politically and there's little to speculate on Albion-wise, this should provide some much-needed escapism. Episode 4: CTRL, ALT, ESC 1 min clip: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0hvvn7j And for next week... Episode 5: Curse of the Ninth An Edwardian chiller...

These competitions really help to bring the tournament alive with the vagaries of yellow/red cards, time of first goal, etc. Big thanks to @Theatre of Trees for running it once again. I'm in. :)

Sorry to disappoint you H, but Benjamin Zephaniah's probably going to be a bit quieter than the others.

To be fair, those basic rations of venison steak aren't going to eat themselves. "Some folks are born silver spoon in hand Lord, don't they help themselves, Lord? But when the taxman come to the door Lord, the house lookin' like a rummage sale, yeah It ain't me, it ain't me I ain't no...
