Really looking forward to the Spain v Georgia game this evening.

Got the potential to be one of the games of the tournament.
We will need something good after whatever it is waistcoat is going to serve up at 5pm, although I do love a kip after me Sunday roast, so he could be useful for once.
 

Southgate when asked about substituting players on for penalties a la the Euro 2020 final says "We live in a world where the outcome determines the narrative" in his usual passive aggressive way.

Well, of course it does, Gareth. When you get smart and decide that you will use subs - some of whom are practically boys - to take penalties and they miss, well, yes, people might fairly surmise that your decision was a little clownish.

Basically, he seems to think his decision to do that was right - which can only mean the players were at fault.

Essentially, he gambled, had a flutter, lost and still wants us to think he was right to do so. No, Gareth. You lost. You were wrong. And it sounds to me that you haven't learned that lesson...
 
I know England have been awful, but Slovakia are comfortably the worst team left in the tournament. Expecting a straightforward 2-0 win today despite Southgate being Southgate.

I too am expecting a straightforward comfortable win. If we achieve it I certainly won’t be on my knees thanking Southgate for guiding us through such a challenging fixture, despite the fact he will want me to.
 

Could she not run for President? She is considerably smarter than the current two candidates.
That's a very low bar. Her explanation as to why Georgia deserved a penalty against Portugal was baffling. I don't think she really understands the difference between explaining what the rules are and making a judgement as to whether they achieve a desirable result for the game generally.
