    He played against Scotland, though. It's the system used. It's working, but it's so, so negative.

    Good. He's got his military exemption/reduction and he's done his training, so someone else should have the opportunity.

    Some media outlets ran a story about England fans cheering when a tearful German girl came up on the big screens at Wembley.
    It's like they've never seen football before. Of course they ****ing did! <laugh>
    I doubt the Germans were too put out about it, given that they've got a word specifically for that sort of thing: schadenfreude.
    It's so good that we nicked it.

    Gee, I wonder why I actively cheer on England's opponents in football tournaments...

    Bayern's translation of Thomas Muller's post, following his late miss to level things up. Ouch.

    The translation is incorrect. Mueller actually said :

    I profoundly apologise to all those people who lost their houses
    betting on me scoring there (given my proven Teutonic efficiency at
    international level) .

    The coronavirus restrictions, presumably.
    They also had a very hard group, on paper. All four teams are now out, though. I doubt that's what he was referring to.

    Can't think why I thought of this in relation to the world's largest Wetherspoons at Wembley last night...

    I suppose Jaden Sancho will be an automatic pick for England now he is a Man Utd player

    If he happens to score an injury time winner at the Etihad, just think: that would have been avoided if they included him in the deal for Kyle Walker, but no, they had to have their cake and eat it...

    Could his signing possibly lead to Spurs getting Martial?

    The only way to nullify those match officials is :

    1. put more Spurs players in the team
    2. play to the game at Wastelands

    Really good game this. Switzerland aren't scared by anybody. Hopefully Ukraine don't put up a fight like this tomorrow <yikes>
