Completely agree with everything you wrote TIOM and I fully expect England to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

We're mere days away from the final ties of the first-round of CONCACAF World Cup qualifying, and I'm certain you're all very excited to hear about Canada's progress. They currently top the table after wins over Bermuda and the Cayman Islands, but their chance to progress will almost certainly come down to a single pivotal game on the final day of the group stage, against their chief rivals in the group: 141th-ranked Suriname, captained by one-time West Bromwich loanee Ryan Donk and featuring a whole host of Dutch players in their 30s that figured they might as well play international football for someone (this isn't even really an exaggeration, there are only four players in their squad with 5+ caps). Surely the most-exciting international competition of the month of June, with the winner advancing to face the winner of a group featuring such powerhouses as Nicaragua, Belize and Haiti for a spot in the Octagonal. This has been your semi-annual update on the Canadian men's national team
Good appointment for them, that’s where Bournemouth went wrong this season, had the squad to get promoted and put two cheap options in charge, which has ultimately cost them a lot more than the wages of a decent Championship manager by failing to get them back into the PL.
Is that 5 overturned reds for the season? Anyone know where we can find the per season numbers for that? Be incredibly embarrassing for VAR if the average was less than 5 per season. Saying that, I think it's pretty bad for VAR that 5 decisions have been overturned.
Yep, VAR has muddied the water further rather than solved anything and just added another layer of scrutiny and can't continue in the current form. And yes we know you told us so Libby...
Tonight I learned that the Italian name for a referee is “guastafeste” - ‘the one who ruins parties’. And so my birthday is complete!
