New qualifying process for European teams next tournament

I thought there maybe more than four.So goes to show it’s still quite an achievement.Only eight hat-tricks scored at the Euros.Platini with two I think

What about our Gary v Poland 86?

Yes I remember this when he first signed.Mission is to win the WC.18 games to do it in etc.

Well I really don’t rate Switzerland either. What I mean is that to win the w/c they must beat a truly world class team enroute Spain or France and our record in such games on foreign soil ain’t great.

Thought that Norways tactic of letting England tire themselves out for the first 25 minutes was very clever.They just couldn’t take advantage enough when they finally came out.England eventually out fought them Next job on the llst is to beat a truly world class tesm

Haaland looked a bit bewildered the last 30 minutes.No surprise there

I’m in the minority and I totally understand most people (and wildlife)struggle or at least find the conditions uncomfortable. As a kid I disliked the summer and long daylight hours and much preferred the winter.Now it’s a complete reversal. The schools thing.I have never seen the need for children to still be going to classes way into the back end of July.I know that is just the way things are now and it fits with the economy going into August limp mode.For the days of the old July fortnight.Kids should be off having fun in the last week of June.Not sat in boiling hot classrooms.Towards the end of my school life and as the eight week break got cut to 6 1/2 Leicester kept the fortnight and we went back around the 20th of August.A nice gentle break in before and after the bank holiday then straight back in to the swing of it come September.This maximised the school year as it gave pupils an extra couple of weeks at the right end of the school year.Especially those taking exams where the school year effectively ends in April barring the exams.It also meant avoiding the hottest weather.

Depends what the definition of mid thirties is? 2013/14 may have been a tad under but both were long hot,dry summers.The trend has been more and more of the same ever since. September 2023 saw temperatures exceed 30c for 7 days running.People will have forgotten this.When it happens again(which it will)the general public will act like it’s never happened before

Yes records are being broken year on year which was sort of my point.Temperatures of mid 30c plus have been common place nearly every single year since at least 2013.This isn’t like August 1990 when we hit the mid 30s and it was like nothing we’d ever seen before. Prolonged heatwaves are something I’ve become used to. On the other thing.I gave a ppov to a point made by another poster.I believe being physically fit gives you a huge advantage at getting through extreme conditions.

I’m guessing you work from home or in an office?You made a sweeping statement that anybody who enjoys this weather must be lazy as they obviously can”t be doing anything.I like this weather it suits me,and my record producing months these past few years have always coincided with that years heatwave/s

I think it depends on how physically fit you are.Personally I love it.Not even like 30C temperatures have come out the blue.Summers have been like this for years now.You learn how to adapt

The way he made that pompous Sky News reporter at Makerfield look like an idiot was very funny

Switzerland0 are really well organised and have been for decades.That will only ever take you so far as they have always struggled to score goals. I’m always glad to see the back of em tbh

The in stadium English support has looked very much middle class version of coach 1 Doubt there would be trouble
