Didn't the Americans invade Canada in the revolution and again in 1812 thinking it would a walkover and expected the French speakers in particular to welcome them and got a bloody nose from the British and Canadians

2 from Youri and another from Timmy should do it

Imagine entering a competition which you know is run by charlatans

I suppose if USA lose against Belgium there will be an appeal and the result reversed

Imagine if Belgium, England and others said sod this we are going home. Play your twisted crooked farce against yourselves

Feel sullied just watching anything organised by this crooked outfit.

Corruption in plain sight.

Never heard of men wearing engagement ring

I do that also think that too many are only focused on their own immediate wants and gratification without considering their environment and the people around them. Not talking about the bigger world but more their close neighbours or people they come across.

And not even a cup!

The David Mitchell book is a fun way of learning more. I noticed celebrities on House of Games often way out on the history round I'm Terrible At Dating. Made me think how little people know about basic facts in our history. I guess unless you enjoyed the subject as a youngster folk bin it when leaving school

Agree with you. Even trivial things like quizzes. Ask when was King John around and some people are hundreds of years out.

I would guess a lot of people from a lot of places have little interest or knowledge of history. Too many have the attitude before my time.

Normally I would be delighted if France got knocked out purely for the shock but the Paraguay dirty tricks after the award of the penalty is against all notions of what is acceptable

Is the consensus here that Braybrooke, Alves, and Page will all be featured this coming season assuming not sold.

I think with our recent record we are entitled to wonder if Rudkin and Co are working to get the necessary players in. Everything seems so agonising waiting for deals.

But human nature not that much different

Ha. The difference being that Geoff Hurst didn't push the ball onto the bar/over the line

To be honest the real crime in the 1986 match with Argentina is that the ref and his assistants all missed the obvious hand ball.

Not something associated with the likes of Bobby Charlton or Bobby Moore for example

BBC doing more good investigative work. Hope the Police take action

I saw the episode of Canal Boat Diaries with Robbie Cumming. He mentioned that people had warned him not to stop in Leicester but he did anyway and found it interesting and all ok

And I've still not learned to take it easy in the interim 60 years

Obviously a good manager but doesn't stay too long anywhere it seems?

Nice little cameo from Anthony Gordon
