Few days in Edinburgh in June (Taylor Swift). Few days in Vienna in August (same). Plenty of Euros and Olympics on TV. I tend to save my annual "big trip" for well outside the school holidays. Tentatively considering Australia in October/ November maybe.

And can run 100m in 11.47 seconds (aged 14). Edit: make that 11.31 seconds (a month later).

It's rare that the on-field ref sticks with his original decision, but it does happen. Went in our favour at Villa Park during the pandemic when Grealish tried to win a penalty right at the end, the ref went "Jog on!" only for the VAR to call him and get him to check the monitor. Review then...

There are far worse teams out there than them. Frank's side have never been the best to watch- they're generally quite direct, and rely heavily on counter attacking and set pieces. But clearly they don't play quite as negatively as they did tonight every week, otherwise that stat of having 31...

Blimey. That was a horrendous game too. Palace 1 Reading 1, I think. Imagine going to an actual football match and having to support Reading.

I was thinking maybe Yugoslavia, so with my list (including Czechoslovakia, Netherlands) and yours, that leaves one more. Sweden? Hungary?

France Spain Germany (& West Germany) Italy Netherlands USSR Portugal Greece Denmark Czechoslovakia England

Yeah, but it's good to see different teams qualifying rather than the same old faces. Pleased to see that Georgia have knocked Greece out tonight.

I can't help thinking Wales' fans would have brought more to the tournament than some of the more notorious element amongst the Polish contingent. Plus Poland are always a waste of a tournament space. Qualify, occasionally get labelled as dark horses by a few "experts": never do anything...

Every Polish penalty has been brilliant. All the Welsh ones except Williams' have been pretty dodgy (either straight down the middle or hitting the bar).

I've been waiting for Neco.... ...genuinely surprised that he scored.

Moore, you jammy bastard :lol:

You'd back Lewandowski over, say, Kieffer Moore, wouldn't you?

Danny Ward almost got Huddersfield promoted on his own with his penalty saving skills. Can't remember if Szceczny has a similar record.

I'd rather listen to a couple of Welsh blokes commentating in a language I don't speak than Jermaine Jenas and Sam Matterface, to give just a couple of examples.
