I was going to say yes he’s been good but he’s no little Emi.

[Bent Neilsens Screamer]

Uzbekistan with a late equaliser against Netherlands.

And Netherlands win it at the death with a penalty in the 8th minute of added time.

Scotland are based in Charlotte, North Carolina. Ginny and Deano meeting for a coffee or a beer?

Mahdii Toure on X:

The Americans' control over our players is way over the top, and it's straight-up disrespectful to me. Never again will we compete in that shithole country.

Being as these tickets went on sale a while ago, does this suggest they haven't sold as well as anticipated?

I'm guessing the timing of the games doesn't help here, or the location. Most people will have plenty of other places to watch England matches and drink within walking distance of home.

Gabby will be a massive draw, of course, I mean how often do we get to hear his thoughts on Villa? 

[olaftab]

It would show a modicum of competence if they got the offer closing date correct. An offer for the England game on June 17 that closes on July 10....
