Where I live the biggest problems are caused mainly by young women speeding in large 4x4s and BMWs at school pick up time.

Could be interesting Xtra time.
Morocco livened up for the last ten mins.
Hope they are better at penalties than Japan 🤪

Now the hard work begins.
Fabulous so far but it gets tougher and tougher.
No gain without pain.
Is that definitely a 07pm KO.? I have an important date to return back to reality at the 365 next Saturday.

What a problem to have. A wealth of available and very competent players.
All this media speculation as to who will or won’t play is just that speculation.
No way Is Southgate going to release details to the likes of Sky and Talk Sport etc.
The beauty is not only who starts but also who finishes. We have an amazing bench waiting to come on.
This is a squad not a team.

Another event costing millions/billions No money in the coffers for anything else though apparently especially for those trying to make ends meet It’s immoral and in reality an absolute disgrace The media will come out with the usual crap” It will bring millions of pounds into the economy.” Dont see much financial change in my cash in the bank.

Unfortunately I could not watch the game last night.
How did Harry do?

Just watched Notts Forest mngr Steve Coopers post match interview.
It would seem they are off to Greece next week for training.
Don’t know where they are going but the weather out there this time of year can be awful !
The only possible place I can think of is Cyprus which is technically not Greece.
Just a little piece of Trivia 🤪

Pundits have already given SCFC a mention, including a cold, wet night in Stoke😀 !
EDIT. A simultaneous post with above.

'You can have anything from the strawberry tart down... I know you want the vanilla slice but you need to get to the semi's to unlock them' 'Anthony Taylor- there's half a pack of mashed Rich Teas in the back of that cupboard ' You have to be exceptional to get the Vanilla Slice...can't just go handing them out to some ref because he let a game flow etc. That's more of a Gingerbread Man from Chatwins thing . Not sure if they have Chatwins in Doha Does this revolutionary change in Referee assessment and timing of the competition, mean that the officials will either get a large slice of Christmas cake with brandy cream or; A-measly slice of Jam Roll and sour cream? 🤔

Easy for the Dutch. The yanks need to stick to rounders and netball They are gradually getting better. They have lots of players now playing in Europe. With four years to continue developing and playing on home soil it will be interesting to see how they do. My only hope is that in the next World Cup FIFA ban all drums 🤪

The good Refs rarely get talked about because nobody notices them
The official today Netherlands v USA was IMO excellent.
Never got flustered and dealt with the game excellently allowing the game to flow.. When yellow cards had to be shown no problem or prima doner flamboyance.

Bloody great. Did not get to know about this and so missed it. I had to watch Switzerland v Serbia in some international competition in the Middle East. I could have been watching Forest Reserves instead. 🤪

An annoying scenario today which I am sure many others have had in the past. Two vowels in the correct place and nothing else. The answer could be anything. Got it eventually in five.

Tough one to call but by the most minuscule amount I suspect it was in.
With all the technology you would think they could prove it, but it would seem they can’t.

Well the qualifying rounds are almost over and we will soon be into the cut and thrust of the final rounds.
So what of the officials so far?
On the whole not to bad I would say. The last possible discussion point is to be seen this evening with a all female team of officials for the Germany game.
The only major controversy’s seem to have been caused by the very factor introduced to eliminate controversy. VAR
What a farce on occasions it has been.
Without a doubt the standard of Refereeing has been better than we see in the Championship. However as the tensions become higher and the threat of sudden elimination become more important will we see more controversy and how much will VAR effect the outcome and results of the games and the competition itself?

Watched the Belgium game well into the second half and started to Knob off. Switched to Morocco v Canada. What a difference . Very enjoyable last 20 mins. [br Whatever floats your boat I suppose hope you used a Kleenex 🤪😂 My you are quick. As soon as I posted I spotted the (preemptive) mistake and corrected it. Well done 😀

Harry’s in with a reasonable shot of facing either Messi or Lewandowski next. I reckon being rested vs West Brom must be giving him sleepless nights 😂🤪 If the £8500 pd is true it’s a few extra Bob in the bank. Maybe pay the turnstile operators a raise, or reduce the ridiculous price of a pint in the concourse ? I don’t think so somehow.

If he goes for less than £30 Mil there will be the biggest demo since Sir Stan went to Blackpool.

It should but no way will we ask for any more than 20m. We just can't seem to do it. When Brentford were in the championship I remember every time someone even mentioned one of their players they said 30m Just don't know what's up with us at all Watching this 30M is cheap, when you think what Van Dijk went for - and when he went the bin dippers he wasn't the finished article. But yes you're probably right, they'll probably balls it up. I hope he stays until the end of the season, at least we'll have 1/2 a chance of remaining in the league. Two tackles and a header in the second half gives us a extra £10 Mil Every time the commentator says “ And yet again, guess who it’s Souter” is + £500K. Sadly it also probably means he is going.

I watched Senegal yesterday and was not over impressed.
However as we know watching Stoke and England we must not be complacent.
The hard work starts now. Let’s hope they are practicing penalty’s . 🤪
