Great fightback with the ball . Stokes leading by example again .

Well I like to say see how the other team bat or we bowl but obviously not a great start ! Maybe going to be one of those low scoring affairs where the bowlers dominate against struggling batsmen? Do need to respond well so they don’t get any momentum .

Birmingham certainly being bold and ambitious with their new ground plans but will it actually happen ?

That is true - no one quite knew what they were dealing with . I suspect people will be annoyed and frustrated they are told to this and that by the same Government who then had lockdown parties and broke their own rules . But I guess COVID is the past and we have to hope we never have to deal with such a situation again .

They changed the format to 12 groups of 4 teams . I am going for : Italy Poland Turkey Denmark To get through. Probably be totally wrong though !

This is no surprise unfortunately. The Tory Government really did think COVID was a joke and laughed at everyone really . https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c8030xvvlv0o

New manager bounce in full force at Peterborough.

Probably knew he wasn’t good enough to make it maybe ?

Not sure if it’s been decided yet .

Apparently you can get it on Sky ? Sky themselves will have the other two European competitions .

Another Pay TV channel get the champions league from 2027. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cjekepglywvo

Tough ties for all the home nations and Irish . Wales at home twice potentially though . Intercontinental play off draw . New Caledonia/Jamaica v DR Congo Bolivia/Suriname v Iraq

Leave Monty alone Smithy ! https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/articles/cy8v8vyx107o

The Russians posing a threat at sea - obviously provoking a strong reaction https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx24028k7edo

Fist time where we won't know some of the teams in the draw as the play-offs haven't happened. Same as with the last Euros.

They don’t seem keen to tax the rich and powerful more in case those people leave the country and end up paying nothing so everyone else carries the can.

Yes he did it deliberately. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/world_cup_2010/8711835.stm Projected World Cup pots. https://www.dazn.com/en-US/news/soccer/fifa-world-cup-2026-draw-projected-pots-england-scotland/1lob116m1ofda1cgetz6jzw42e

Bashir to miss out and England go with 4 quicks and Root ?

Congratulations to them ! Had to be some VAR drama too . https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c14p3dmdld1o Haiti have qualified too .

So do two teams get through via the play-offs? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_FIFA_World_Cup_qualification_–_UEFA_second_round

Can they get out of their group for once ?

What a way to win the game and qualification for Scotland !

Scotland need to borrow a goal from Wales. And get the ball .’ I suspect both teams will complain about the ref .

England under 21s? Scotland have some good players but generally the depth isn’t great and defenders are poor .

Why was there 17 minutes of injury time in this game ? https://www.flashscore.co.uk/match/football/iraq-K8aAGt6r/united-arab-emirates-Knrj3QiN/?mid=nHQ6REdJ Must be one of the latest winners ever !
