I don't care about the coaching, either. What is the problem?

Tunisia manager booted after last nights loss.

By one of his own players? They kicked everybody else.

The hydration breaks are really just a sop to American TV being able to squeeze even more out of their advertisers, but there you go.  Now they're a thing, I do think that it's right that they're in all games.  I also think that there needs to be some ruling as to when the referee calls them.  In the Switzerland-Qatar game, it was just as Qatar had conceded a corner which meant after three minutes they had to go straight into defending it.  It would be better if after 22 minutes it should be either the next goal-kick or if a goal is scored.  Oh, and stop the bloody clock for the duration.

Fifa seeks explanation over VAR official's hand gesture

When the camera cut to the VAR room on Sunday, Evans was standing with his arm by his side - and then could be seen making the fingers of his right hand into a upside down 'OK' sign.

Such a gesture has two very distinct meanings – one harmless and the other connected to an expression of white supremacy.

Tbf I would never have known that was a White Power symbol. I was aware of the circle finger arm punch game, though.

The epitome of doing something for the sake of being seen to do something!  ;D

Lamine Yamal only on the bench, perhaps understandable as he hasn't played since April, when he tore a hamstring.

There aren’t any 1745 kickoffs in the Champions League, are there?

Yes, but only if you're away to a team from somewhere like Kazakhstan.

Edit: not just Kazakhstan, seem to have been about two early kickoffs per week, with the exception of the final league game where everyone kicks off at the same time. No English clubs had to play Home games in the early slot, so hopefully we avoid that.

It's a tied game after the first quarter. C'mon Cabo.
