    Argentina have announced their squad for their September World Cup qualifiers against Chile and Colombia.
    Romero and Lo Celso both feature.

    Mason Greenwood has decided to switch his international loyalties to Jamaica.
    Jamaica, Mason? No, she wanted to.
    Schteve McClaren should be ashamed. Brolly ****er.

    Don't have to worry about Bentancur getting injured on international duty for a while: he's copped a four-match ban for the ECW tribute show

    Sonny reportedly missed a hat trick of sitters

    In other words, the scoreline should have read South Korea 3 Palestine 0

    Things that have happened since Spurs last lifted a trophy:

    San Marino win a competitive game.

    I saw a great cartoon recently specially for the flat earthers. Basically it shows a giant meteor hitting the flat disk that is the earth, which is then tilted and all the big dinosaurs fell off.

    Genuinely love flat earthers, some of the funniest people on this sphere.

    Hojbjerg scored the 2nd as Denmark saw off 9-man Switzerland last night:
    https://streamff.com/v/c450e42d
    Very well taken. Doesn't have a touch like a Greenwood, apparently.

    Xhaka was sent off for a 2nd yellow for clogging our former player, which I'm sure is a coincidence:
    https://streamff.com/v/f4bdbf5b

    The first red was an absolute travesty of a decision, though:
    https://streamff.com/v/3b8b1f15
    How can anyone who has any idea about the game watch that and come to that decision?
    Maybe without VAR, but with it? Ludicrous. Verging on the suspicious, frankly.

    The BBC endearing itself to the Scots again today:
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c3w605pxvewo

    "Scotland's capacity for self-sabotage delivers fresh horror"! <laugh> Harsh, but possibly fair.
    Probably doesn't help that the author is called Tom English.
    Something tells me it's the first time that Scotland have had 2 Napoli players score for them.

    I'm a huge fan of Tom English. The quality of his writing combined with the dour Sottish sense of humour makes him an enjoyable read.

    In stark contrast to McNulty, whose quality of writing kills brain cells.

    I thought the Scots were the better team in the first half and very unlucky to go 2 down. Szymanski was the Polish hero in the first half not Lewandoski. And Zalenski was headed for goal when Hanley clattered him. English might write nicely CK but content is not his strong point it seems.
