    Last minute deal getting the U21 final on CH4.

    I don't know why they bother with laws, and VAR, and pretending that they are aiming for consistency. They should just say games are officiated "in the opinion of the referee" and leave it at that.

    I doubt that decision making could be more obscure....and people would just shrug their shoulders and say "bloody ref". As it is, it's like the worlds longest running, serially shittest, game of "defend the indefensible".

    Gibbs White sent off in the last minute, on the bench, as England win. He doesn't miss the start to our season now does he? Some odd rules in football.

    Does he miss being presented with the trophy as captain?

    One of the great joys, as a football fan, is seeing the opposition when they are losers in a final. Devastated players, dejected fans, crying supporters. Delightful. Give me a Simod data systems cup triumph, and all that entails, over the endless dirge of constant league games to not be relegated. Don't let the football money men persuade you that all the thrills are to be had in a fruitless pursuit of seventh place and earning the right to go and play Penybont FC and St. Patricks Athletic. The professional game in this country was built on cup football, and the FA cup in particular. Don't let the bastards steal all the fun from you, in the pursuit of endlessly milking you for cash instead.

    Save our cups.

    No but probably means he gets a rest in the next international break.

    Likely would have done anyway, as he's now no longer qualified for future u21's international football.

    Italy and Turkey have asked UEFA to combine their bids for the 2028 Euros and instead consider them for 2032, meaning that the UK and Ireland bid is the only one entered for 2028. So I presume we're getting it.

    Canada? Unusual choice.

    But an excellent one.

    I have two citizenships, I can be whoever I choose to be. Stop oppressing me.

    Having two passports is great.

    I personally like to pretend I'm Jason Bourne when selecting which one to travel on, which is the only real reason I bothered in the first place if I'm honest.

    I could get three now, but I’m not bothering with a British one because I don’t like blue.

    Allegedly the Dutch national men's team are interested in Sarina Wiegman as their next coach. I can't see any problems there, what with their famously relaxed, easygoing and welcoming national setup.
