    Agreed! It's shite. And when you go in there, the shelves have been stripped bare. I literally have no choice in senior cat dry food. And they are more expensive than all the supermarkets ... and even my village shop for Felix sachets!. I've given up with them

    I hope that China beat Haiti later today so that England will have to at least draw the last match against them, or Wiegman will rest loads of the first choice team and it will be even more unbearable than today!

    The NZ keeper made a right mess of that for Philippines to score. Practically threw it across her own line! And the Colombia second goal was a proper howler by the Korean keeper!
