He's watched Mbappe a lot in Ligue 1 though.

You know we’d love to see it against the shithouses in the Championship.

Surely still easier to just stop the clock when the game stops

Yes, he should have stuck to Robot Wars.

Yeah but I don't get how they have been calculating it before if not "properly" ? Are they just guessing random numbers?

I always wondered, because first half it is never more than two minutes, often just one. Second half is often four or so.
I get there is more shithousing at the end of a game and substitutes as well, but it isn't always the case and yet the pattern still seems the same.
I think your guessing numbers theory probably has some grounds.
No just ignoring most of it.
to you all.

I reckon so yes. I’m guessing now maybe either the 4th official or the VAR are calculating it?
Yeah it’s never really had anything to do with the actual amount of stoppages has it - it’s just this generally agreed unwritten rule of thumb (about 3 minutes as standard, plus or minus a minute or two depending on how busy the second half has been). I’m glad they’re trying to address it.

Argentina getting an almighty kicking on the box today - There's a programme just started on BBC4 focusing on Cameroon's achievements at Italia 90.

I don't think I can ever have a bad word said about him again.

I see Harry Kane is having a scan on his ankle today. If he is out, who would you play up front against the USA?
It would have to be Rashford wouldn't it? Can't see that Southgate would start with Callum Wilson up front, just simply due to his lack of international experience.

Agreed although hopefully it's just precautionary.
Does beg the question why Southgate didn't use the warm up games to blood the likes of Wilson, Maddison etc. so at least they'd have a little experience of the setup.

Must be as they know they're being filmed. Over the top for the first game. In a working man's club it's a quick handshake with the chap next to you, and off to the bar to get a pint.

After the opening speech I think men in white coats will be lining up to take him away - he’s as crooked as Sep Blatter

This Croatia Morocco game looks like it's at double speed.
Can't stand fans that overly whistles when the opposition have the ball too.

It's like they are playing with a full team of Nicky Summerbee's isn't it.

Said it earlier. Didn't do much to improve things with Russia WC or Chinese Olympics. It's a clichéd nonsense that sport can change ideologies or politicians. North Korea have enough black cash then FIFA would probably do it.missed this part of his speech the other day, you wonder how people get top jobs like this and stay in them.North Korea could host a World Cup, says Infantino

We had 2 friendlies in March & then 6 Nations League games from June until September.
The likes of Maddison & Wilson hadn't played for England since 2019...

Tells you how dull this first half is when they can only find 2 minutes to add on.
