Have to say it's incredibly difficult when the weather is like this. Maxi kudos @Lionator

As Donald would say, wrong!

Apropos of nothing, I was thinking about the petition in Argentina to replay the final and people's reaction to it in this country, and then remembered this: https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/england-italy-euro-replay-petition-24523881

Looking forward to Mancini lifting the trophy at Wembley for the second time in 2028.

Superb Bit, it's on her shirt.

People doing loud stuff outside, like wheeling bins around, DIY stuff or whatever, before 9am. Very uncivilised.

I'm all for guillotining Farage* but not the greatest timing ever from not the most intelligent man in politics. *not really

Fair enough. Just seems to be very frequent there. What's the source by the way?

Why is this kind of attack so common in Germany? Obviously all of Western Europe has issues with Islamic extremism but this kind of vehicle attack is disturbingly frequent in Germany.

17th century East Anglia has so much to answer for

I went to Nervi for a week recently with a one year old. Just outside Genoa, very nice town. Near some lovely places on the Ligurian coast. It's a bit touristy on that stretch but quite pretty. In Genoa there's the maritime museum kids might like, plus a huge aquarium, and the 'city of children and young people' which is kind of hard to explain but good fun. Some nice beach towns nearby too. It's also pastry and focaccia heaven for luches and snacks. Locals were incredibly nice and love kids. Genoa is a pretty short flight as well, and the flight into the airport along the coast is cool.

Serie B fixtures released live on their youtube channel today at 5 UK time, for those who enjoy tying in late summer holidays with esoteric Italian second tier matches.

Heacham vs King's Lynn tonight had a hydration break, in 17 degrees

He was entertaining and positive which can't be said for most of our football over the last two years. And young, so can be forgiven for some of his more naive moments perhaps. Will miss him quite honestly.

Italy are going to miss out on 3 successive world cups and still win more than one trophy in the same amount of time Kane plays for England

Agree with all this some of the response in this country has been as ever hilariously over the top and to some extent mirrors the Argentinian tubthumping in its own way. And the lack of awareness from some people complaining about racism from one nation but simulataneously happy to tar a whole country with the same brush.

Is winning the Falklands war the worst thing that ever happened to Britain?

My favourites are the boomer reform types saying stuff like "their politicians only focus on the Falklands because their economy is crap" with absolutely zero self awareness
