One day someone will break Usain's but you and I will be extremely old as this guy may not even have been born yet.

Dušan Tadic, José Fonte and Cédric Serbia vs Portugal UEFA EURO 2016 qualifier Kick-off time: 5pm BST Should be bloody interesting. Might try to find a stream for that. Incidentally, I once came across an old mate who was playing for another team. I was playing in Tadic's position and he was Cedric, so to speak. I knew he was a better RB than I was a winger. Any pace I had previously had gone. But our friendship had been based on my ability to make him piss himself with laughter, so I made him laugh and kept making him laugh. After 30 minutes he was finished. My team kept feeding me the ball and I'd round him, a la Le Tiss [ie no pace, just bamboozle him] and I could hear him hysterically giggling away unable to tackle me, while I was just a couple of points back from the hysterical myself. But I still beat him every time. I think we blew the opposition away that night. The pub must have been good after.
Playing against a mate must be difficult. If I had played against a good mate I think we'd have been substituted for just trying to nutmeg each other all the time.

Big game for Steven Davis and NI tonight, chance for them to make a bit of history. Big game for Scotland as well but think they've left themselves too much to do. Wales should qualify this week, so 3 home nations this time? For all the stick international football gets I actually think this qualifying has been very interesting with extra teams to qualify so NI, Wales etc. getting a chance. The Germany, ROI & Scotland group has been great to follow as well.
Players possibly in action for their nations on Thursday: Maya Yoshida for Japan v Syria at 2pm (Away but being played in Muscat ) Steven Davis for Northern Ireland v Greece at 7.45pm (Home) Shane Long for Ireland v Germany at 7.45pm (Home) José Fonte and Cédric for Portugal v Denmark at 7.45pm (Home) Dušan Tadić for Serbia v Albania at 7.45pm (Away)
Fonte not playing, but he went over to shake hands with Clattenberg and his officials. Little suck-up. Cedric playing though.
