Am I right I  thinking that o my two LCFC players have played in the semi-fi Ald of major tournaments?  Izzet and King?

 

Welcome to the party, Vardy.  And Slabhead.

Pretty sure Gordon Banks has played in a World Cup semi-final. Don't ask me how I know.

After I was born! As one of my early memories is a local news report of him moving to Stoke, shocking, I'll give you that one.

He'd be worth double if he'd have chosen and played for France.

True, and FT would have been all the better for it

17 games undefeated

England currently have an impressive 17-game undefeated streak in red. Their last loss in a red shirt was in 2010, in a 4-1 World Cup defeat to Germany.

 

But in the semi-final with Croatia, the Three Lions will be playing in all white - despite being the designated "away" team.

Croatia will not wear their famous red and white chequered shirts in Wednesday's match

According to FIFA, the team assigned as the "home" side gets to wear their regular strip.

If the "away" team's kit colour clashes, the away side wears their reserve kit.

But because the Croatians normally play in red and white chequered shirts - which clash with both of England's strips - they will instead play in blue and black.

The increase is not until 2026 and there is only 3 extra places for uefa so there will still be the odd occasion where a big team misses out.

Not Leicester but thought it was a good one.

 

Inter Milan have had a player in each world cup final since 1982.

 

Clearly England need their whole squad to move there pre 2022.

Ricardo Pereira has provided as many assists in his first two appearances for Leicester, as Danny Simpson has in 124. (Two)

And they we’re both in one game (vs Stoke at home in 2017)

[StanSP]

Leicester finally won back-to-back away league matches at Southampton for the first time, on their 40th visit there (W5 D14 L21).

[urban.spaceman]

This was the first game in his Leicester City career that Ricardo Pereira failed to provide an assist. Simpson.
