Russia losing 2-1 v Kenya at HT in a match being played in Turkey. It came up on my YouTube.

I will assume it's a testimonial for Wagner...... 🙄🤔

Guess which former CL regular club got bought for a mind bending 800m last year by a totally clueless new Owner.

Hint their fans are envious of neighbours Clermont Forande.

PS hadn't realised Nice are going so well- that was a fantastic result from our under 21s a couple of weeks ago.

Following on from that, Ajax are having a mare of a season - missing out on the Champions' League has been so costly for them. The manager and director of football have both already been canned.

Just chanced upon the details of Tyler Magloire's injury whilst playing for Northampton last season. He's our former academy and U23 defender and captain, if anyone's forgotten. Apparently, a relatively "innocuous collision" with another player left him with a rupture to the ACL and MCL, as well as a torn meniscus. I'm not familiar with these types of injuries but it sounds horrendous. He's expected back some time next year.

Marseille v Lyon called off after Lyon coaches and team bus attacked.

Lyon boss Grosso and assistant stretchered out with facial injuries

Harry Kane, genius

Turned out to be a really good game.You got the usual dives and play acting south american style but also plenty of skill.Fluminese ended up winning their first Copa title 2-1 after ET

Got tasty in extra time with two sent off one for over celebration of the winning goal and one for a slap in the face.

We say this sort of thing every time. We also have Southgate in the dug out, Maguire at CB and Phillips or Henderson in midfield.

We will have rice and Bellingham.  Henderson is a good player.  So is Philips.  Maguire has always done well for England 

[roversfan99]

An aging Henderson following a year in Saudi Arabia, Phillips who is bang average and wont have played football in a couple of years and Maguire who calamity seems to follow around. Get our name on the trophy. And the main issue, the man who keeps selecting them.

(We do obviously have some excellent players too)

44 penalties!

Girona top of La Liga. Maybe our defeat wasn’t that bad after all.

They looked a top drawer side when they gave us the runaround whilst in first gear

[wilsdenrover]

81 shots (they ‘only’ won 9-0)…

[philipl]

New Caledonia keeper saved 14 shots on target and dealt successfully with at least 10 corners- hero!

There is a potential storm brewing here as Italy qualified for the Euro's because of their head-to-head record against Ukraine and the UEFA President said before the match that it would be a disaster if Italy didn't qualify. Ukraine were denied a clear penalty in the second minute of stoppage time and there was no VAR intervention.

The incident is about five minutes in on here.

Was it clear? Mudryk clearly gets to the ball first - albeit with the sole intention to start falling and win a penalty - and it's beyond risky from Cristante but where's the actual 'contact'? A few rolls and pretending to be injured too....even if there was contact, it obviously didn't hurt. Up you get lad.

It's clear enough to me that it's a penalty. The Italian committed himself to the challenge and Mudryk's touch was before the challenge came in. The Italian was therefore late and there was clear contact on Mudryk not on the ball. What is really surprising is that according to the reports it wasn't reviewed.

Penalty or not, is an opinion. The big question after the previous remarks by the UEAF rep, is why was there no VAR review.
