Something should have been done 9 months ago. NSWE out.

That's the spirit!

USA, Gareth getting lucky again!

The question of how positive/negative one is is highly dependant on the belief on Russian political/military aims of this war. If one thinks that Russia wanted to take over Ukraine from day 1 and destroy Kiev, kill Zelensky, install a puppet government, well, they are failing. In fact, they are a laughing stock. If one thinks that the real aim might be to call the western NATO bluff and prevent that from happening, it looks like they will succeed. They will also possibly gain the Donbas region and connect it with Crimea. Maybe Putin thinks that losing numerous planes, helicopters, countless tanks is a price worth paying. I read an interesting review saying that Russia's political aims highly outweigh the military ones in this conflict. The real tragedy of this war is that to succeed in these aims, whatever they are, thousands of innocent people and young soldiers will die.

Funnily enough the polish media praised Sweden for consistency before the game and saying how Poland lacked it. Thank god we went for a very pragmatic approach, or it could have been a repeat of the Euros.

You play the cards you are dealt. But when have to explain 'it's a big club' it looks like it probably isn't. And that season was Derby-esque.

When Poland were 2-0 up Olsen turned into a robot. Could have easily been 5-0, he was class.

''It's a big club'' The media team were not at their best.

How did the Swedish media take it this morning? First half was 60/40% to Sweden, but since we scored the 2nd we played so well. I think Poland deserved the win.

''I'm an Englishman in Warsaaaaaw''

I'd be happy if that was the main body of the kit. Something different. It will look claret on the pitch.

Never heard of him. Hope he does well.

I have no insight into Swedish football but one thing I can tell you about polish football is that we are likely to disappoint. Zieliński will be not visible, Góralski will get a red card, Bereszynski shouldn't play on the left side. Thank God Bielik is playing, he will be the one to watch and likely to get a good transfer in the summer.

I guess the issue people have is that the answers are not given by politicians, they are a twisted PR campaign.

Incredible. Will be a good game, it's a very 50/50 type of a match.

Wait, have you just invented the World Cup?!

I've heard Quatar is lovely in December. Unless you are not a middle aged middle class white haired man that is.

pricks? dicks?

I watched it a few times, and he was clipped. It's a pen. The thing is, he didn't have to get clipped, nor did he have to fall. But there was contact, it's a pen. If I was a modern football TV pundit, I'd say that's what good strikers do.

They did what??

It is. But it always happens during sporting events. Let's say the government granted us money to improve infrastructure around Aston and we'd invest in improved housing for Holte Rd which would allow us to expand Witton Lane Stand. I don't like the idea, but it happens all the time. Should we receive money that will improve the local infrastructure and housing, improve the area for the local community and benefit expansion of VP it's a conversation to be had.

2 fish and chips is 2+2. 2 fish and one chips is 2+1

You don't say?
