    I don't fully understand it but isn't dependant on the moon or something? So impossible to say with certainty what day it will land on until it's near?

    I know it’s something to do with the lunar cycle, but don’t understand how it works and why it isn’t a fixed number of days?

    Perhaps due to the year not being an exact amount of days? That's purely guesswork though and like you I don't fully understand.

    Eid has to take place on a Love Island re-coupling day. Simple as that.

    Goes by sighting of new moon < this one

    Lunar months are 29 or 30 days and also move back about 10 days every year in relation to the solar calender

    So Eid was always going to be either today or tomorrow?

    Who decides that it’s a new moon or not?

    How do you think Ramadan will effect Tunisia's prep v England.

    Do you think it affected the Saudis yesterday?

    The new moon is the thin crescent starting on the right side as you look at.

    So right side crescent is new moon, half a moon is a week in , full moon is half way then half a moon is 3 weeks in and crescent on left is end of the month

    Apparently they stopped recent friendly v Portugal for drinks and dates at sundown.

    The keeper went down for treatment mid match and players hydrated.

    Eygpt doing OK against Guayans so far, let's see if they fade like Saudis in second half.

    Do you drop a lot of body mass over Ramadan?
