    That'd probably be a hate crime though.

    If you see the world entirely in terms of sectarian violence and flag-shagging Scottish nationalism, then Rangers = England is about right. That's all there is for certain Scots these days.

    Plus, better chance of NI or ROI qualifying.

    Yeah, tournament knockout football is so good that a ridiculous group stage might be a price worth paying.

    Secondly, players in the NFL are going to be the top 0.0001% of being able to keep running when someone is trying to stop them. Hardly surprising he's good at it.

    Also falling down isn't incentivised in the NFL. If it was, they'd fall down.

    Exactly, like when you would play Join the Crew at school (British Bulldog except you had to beat the runners into submission rather than just catch them), you got clipped at speed playing that but funnily enough there was no incentive to fall over if you could help it.

    I'm becoming increasingly convinced in my mind that we'll be going back 5 against Italy, probably Saka to miss out, to get Trippier in the team for set pieces*. Italy are quite rinky-dink aren't they? Verratti, Jorginho, all the forwards are all full manlets. All out defence, batter them with set pieces. Brutal but effective.

    *as was pointed out in here, what the fuck was Sterling doing taking that direct freekick yesterday? Has he ever taken one before as a professional? It's that sort of mad shit (Kane on corners) that makes you worry about the whole set-up. Surely Mount can take a freekick? It is a bit of a problem area though, hence perhaps the need to get Trippier back in the side (you can't drop Walker though).

    Immobile is their tallest attacking option at 6'1 but he doesn't play like it. The most physical one is Belotti who I was stunned to learn is only 5'11.

    I do feel like they should play Locatelli in midfield against England but I don't think they will.

    I'm pretty sure he'll try and match them as well with 3-5-2. Can see Foden starting as well.

    Belotti looks like a mafia enforcer so yeah, quite surprised he's a bit of a midget too. He's probably more of a Sir Les Ferdinand type though with his sub-six-footedness.

    This current format seemed to provide both, too be fair. It looked ridiculous on paper only for every game to be of some importance to someone, presumably.

    Donnarumma; James, Bonucci, Maguire, Shaw; Jorginho, Mount, Barella; Sterling (only based on his England form, he’s been useless for City), Kane, Grealish

    What is this sudden horror at booing the oppositions national anthem? Am I grossly misremembering things, or have we pretty much booed the opposing teams national anthem at football for basically as long as I can remember watching football?

    This is the first time the #FBPE crowd have watched football in years, and fits nicely into their culture war narratives.

    The viewing figures are in. 23.9m for the semi final. It makes me wonder what the hell happened for '66 to top the list. Like, there wasn't a telly (or 3) in every home like there is now. The final will push the 2012 Opening ceremony out of the all-time top ten, at least.

    He must have had at least three top-ups on the original transplant. There is a 2019 interview with James Nesbitt where he says he's on his sixth.

    Love Island wasn’t on. (Presuming the figure takes into account people switching channels at half time.)
