I had to revisit their scores because I thought they beat Norway. Just a point and then demolished by Henri Michel's Morocco.

I was meant to be doing homework but was sat with the below book open:
Toggle Spoiler
Every team in the tournament had at least one player in there so it featured superstars such as Erik Mykland, Colin Hendry and Eric Wynalda.
Sure I had that book, Welbz.
Zamarano and Salas
Lillian Thuram
The Reggae Boyz
Cuauhtemoc Blanco's bunny hop
Ronaldo's seizure
David Batty
Dennis Bergkamp, Dennis Bergkamp, Dennis Bergkamp, Dennis Bergkamp
Class tournament.
Me too actually. Did they sell it in school or with those England coins or something?
I had that book too.
Uh, I'd also like to express my fondness for that particular book.
That book and this:
Were a lot of my childhood.
This one for me. Might have just been American though.
The best non-fiction book ever written for children is Incredible Comparisons by Russell Ash. FACT.
Not a book, but this always brings back the memories of school playground swapsies.
Scotland did well in that shootout considering their entire team appears to be left-footed.
All my copies of Black and White Magazine are lost to time. Or somewhere at my parents'. I want to find Football '95 which had all the Euro 96 hype that went with it. Cantona was on the cover and a smiling Kenny Dalglish.
I think I had this at home. It has my chicken shit handwriting in it as I update the scores and the scores go from the actual games to things like Man United 9 Chelsea 2.
I had the World Cup 98 book as well. I think my mum bought it from Sainsburys.
I reckon I might still have it in the loft.
I had the Euro 96 equivalent of that book as well, which profiled the 'star' of each team. I can remember half of them to this day. Julen Guerrero for Spain. Stoichkov for Bulgaria. Florin Radicioiu for Romania (why?). Djorkaeff for France. Shearer for England (it's easy to forget, looking back, just how massive a star Shearer was at this time. Almost bigger than the team. Had arguably waned a touch by '98 because no one cares about Newcastle). Colin Hendry for Scotland. Turkyilmaz for Switzerland.
I remember going into CM and looking up all the players I expected to be mega and I'd just not heard of them because they played in exotic foreign countries.
Turns out Eric Wynalda was not a goal machine.

Oh yeah, and because of a misprint somewhere (or maybe just me mis-reading it) I spent a good 3 or 4 years believing that the Turkey manager was called 'Faith' Terim, like a shit R&B singer, rather than the sabre-wielding patriarch he is.
I wish I still had the book so I could look through and see who the most lol inclusions were but it must be long gone. This is the sixth place I've lived since then and my parents have moved too.
On of the Ireland players who did 90 minutes last night has tested positive
Your man Vida for Croatia played the first half against Turkey too and was then informed at HT that he was positive as that's when their results came through.
No mention of this unnamed PL player who has been arrested on suspicion of false imprisonment and rape?
It's not the person people think it is.
It's a white player?
Who do people think it is, then? I assume the Twitter mob have their prime suspect.
It's Gomez innit? Fucking tendons, my arse.
Is Raheem the victim in that scenario?
I saw Willian mentioned.
Who was the wrong'un from Southampton (?) who was up to no good against a partner/former-partner recently?
Yan Valery.
I'm a twit
My ITK sources saying the person mentioned in the Mail story is based at the other Manchester club.
I heard it was Garry Flitcroft (christ how old is that reference now).

"Player in his 20s"
If it is indeed City you have the following in their 20's:
Foden (20)
Ferran Torres (20)
Ruben Dias (23)
Gabriel Jesus (23)
Zinchenko (23)
Rodri (24)
Ake (25)
Sterling (25)
Stones (26)
Laporte (26)
Silva (26)
Mendy (26)
Cancelo (26)
Ederson (27)
De Bruyne (29)
Mahrez (29)
Plus a handful of other no name chumps.
My money would be on Ruben Dias.
Christ, imagine being raped by Kevin De Bruyne.
It’s definitely Benjamin Mendy.

Salah had tested positive for COVID. Dirty Scouse bastards. Half their team seem to have caught it all at different times
