Our record against Argentina probably includes the game in ‘66! It’s nothing but an historical stat

I don’t recognise the premise of the thread title.

I mean that’s the whole thing about the black economy- it’s cash. As a society. We’re still largely not cashless - the better off you are the more likely you’re cashless.

Not a comment on the politics of it but the general under estimation of the black economy that exists right across Western Europe same would be true here although we really should be in a position to have a better handle on those who are here given the fact that we are an island

Looks like Brendan has told them to get him sacked from white ball responsibilities too

Spain decided to give an amnesty for undocumented migrants. They expected 500k to come forward and apply for legal status. The number that applied was 1 million.

problem is that if it goes to ET and pens then it’s not finishing till 11:00 will there be many trains on Sunday evening at that time ?? local residents may not want thousands of folk hanging around late on Sunday either

It might be easier to reference the ones that weren’t terrible ……

I think they’ll fiddle around with the tee times on Sunday to ensure it’s all done and dusted by 7:00 (especially if England get there)

Wonder how much 2 hours in the Miami heat has taken out of many of the players in addition to the travelling to and from Mexico with the altitude.. possible that our supposed physical advantage of youth may be tempered by this. At least it’s inside so if we are fit enough, then no reason why we can’t ‘suffocate’ them

Happened in group game Paraguay v USA with almiron and reem because almiron didn’t have a yellow already it was a lot less consequential

I don’t think Colina will be happy that penalties are being re refereed that’s not the purpose of var

Does bringing burn on in this situation hand the initiative to Norway and ask for trouble ?

Was similar last weekend in Philadelphia when France played Paraguay otherwise these are the most sapping conditions of the tournament so far

We look ragged not sure what the shape is supposed to be

There are some players in the squad that the coach clearly has no trust in mainoo is an obvious one square pegs in round holes atm

Madueke needs to be braver and take on his man that will create space for others although obviously Konsa isn’t getting forwards like o’Reilly

They do get sea fog at pebble beach ! Maybe Scottie saw the forecast and thought ‘F that’ !

We offered Monga a multi year deal at 40k (from what we’ve been told) How many years are we offering Chaplin ? obviously his salary will include a portion which is his inflated s/o fee

We’re no longer in a position to make anyone the same offer that Monga had

Mcilroy just fatted a tee shot about 140 yards on a 170 par 3! amazing

Madueke and rashford won’t be in the euro 28 squad unless saka and Gordon are injured Dowman and ngumoha will be the back ups in two years. Monga has a lot of work to do to get ahead of those two.

Farewell jannik ………..

So onto tonight despite the ballsy nature of Sunday nights performance in Mexico City, they didn’t convince me from a football playing perspective whether we could have controlled the game last half hour with eleven players is obvs unanswerable norway had 66% possession v Brazil. That was a hot evening and tonight will be the same. Brazil screwed up by bringing on neymar after they went behind. That effectively meant them playing with ten men without the ball. Norway completely controlled possession after he was subbed on. If we want to win tonight then we have to be brave with the ball - something we decided to ditch against Mexico (and had little option once we went to ten) we absolutely should win tonight but nothing I’ve seen over the 5 games so far makes me confident we will

Has to be an intentional pass to the keeper
