Awful deflection and France have a goal that they never looked like scoring. 4-1

 

that looked like it was off target too before the deflection.

 

Nice touch -

 

Hello, just popping in to say: Fonte made his debut for Dalian Yifang today along with Carrasco and Gaitan.

Only an 8-0 defeat? He really is going for glory isn’t he?

 

You'll never guess who conceded the penalty.

 

You mean he’s lost his invisibility cloak as well?

 

VAR to be used at world cup

 

Or maybe the opposite. Here's some highlights for pre-match entertainment.

 

Sounds great, me and Tom can talk about refereeing decisions for a whole month .

 

And I can meltdown about one of the biggest sporting events around being ruined.

 

And how much is our erstwhile hero being paid to be as **** as that?

 

I'd laugh but I doubt Fonte gives a flying ****. Let's face it, he's not there for the football.

 

Still hoping for a World Cup place though surely?

 

I don't know what the competition is like for CB in Portugal, but if they're still considering taking him then it's quite embarrassing really! He's 34 and has been on the decline for 3 or so years now.

 

I'm playing a bit of FM with Saints at the moment and bizarrely I've been drawn against West Brom, Watford and Fulham in the FA Cup.

 

I was happy to see Blackburn 2 nil up....suggesting that Wigan are poor enough for even us to beat, but now it is 2-2.

 

I watched it. Blackburn scored twice against the run of play, before being better in the rest of the half. Second half Wigan through a second striker on earlier and they scored two goals and could have stolen it at the end.

 

England ladies came back from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 with Germany in the Shebelieves cup in the USA.
