In my football ignorance, I have always wondered why more players don't hang further back to take advantage of poor clearances or deep cutbacks.
It's still being discussed on French tele, btw. Various angle replays.
A Spanish player interviewed saying this is not football, not respecting the sport. (in English) Worracunt.

What a result, would have loved to have been there tonight
GIRFUY Spain, bunch of diving/cheating wanks
They really don't like it up 'em when it's backed up with football. They reverted to the Latin sides of the 60s and 70s with their 'gamesmanship'. (cheating) f**k 'em.
Well done Scotland, best telly watch game in decades for me.
I'll now continue my decline into pishedness.
Wish I was in Tennents right now.

Watching this alone on French telly. Shouting at that telly. But enjoying the excitement.
Come one Scotland!
Don't let these 'reverting to type' latins cause a red card.

I'm sorry to see religion playing any part in Scottish political discussion.
I'd like to see an end to religion having any power over people.
Never going to happen, I know. It seems actually to be getting worse.
The French tried it but have had religious nutters killing their citizens recently.
Maybe we need an 'aetheists' vs 'rest of the world' all out war. I'd start it, but I'm going down the pub now.

Hmm.
Think I'll watch Celebrity Lingo.

Noticed this typically top quality reporting in the BBC report of the France match. Not only is 4-1 a smaller winning margin than 4-0, Austria aren't even in the same group as France.
France though were kept off the top of their group by Austria, for who Manchester United's Marcel Sabitzer scored twice in a 4-1 triumph against Azerbaijan.
I couldn't find that on the BBC, but I did find it on several African sites. Strange.

There is constant talk of keeping us on summer time.
I just wish they'd do it and be done.
I know, darker mornings in winter, kids going to school, blah blah.
Even on current winter time, it's dark in the morning.

There's quite a few links with France going back to the Auld Alliance, like in a chippie in the WOS you would get an ashet pie supper, a steak pie in a foil tray. Just like the French assiete. Also Burns writing about a silver tassie, like the French tass meaning a cup. I was told a few more at school but cannae remember them now.
But there's just as many Scots words linked to Scandinavian words from the days of the Hanseatic traders. Like bigging a house or the word 'ken' meaning to know. People in the west laugh at us east coasters for using it but it's a word with a real history/etymology/whatever. Scots have always been Europeans. More reasons to hate all these brexity c***s.
Dinna fash yersel' = dont get angry/upset from French 'facher'
The windae got panned, from the French 'en panne' meaning broken down (usually a vehicle, I guess it came back from WW1)
At the toot, meaning immediately, from 'toute suite'.
san ferry ann = that doesn't matter ( ça ne fait rien)
My mother used these and more. And I take this opportunity to agree with your brexit view.

I was cheering on England today, for the first time. ( I wanted France to top the table)
They let me down. Typical. Perfidious Albion.

There will be a temperature issue at a few of the locations as well, the picture below is from a Miami Dolphins game (the Vikings sideline was in the sun and Dolphins in the shade) this October so christ knows what it'll be like in June/ July , even if it'll be an evening kick off unlike the NFL game which was mid-afternoon. Would guess the Mexican stadia and LA would have similar issue.
I think only 4 of the stadia (Dallas, Atlanta, Houston, and Vancouver) have roofs, and not aware of any of the outdoor ones having any sort of cooling- the oens in America have been built for a winter sport.
A thermometer placed in sunlight gives a meaningless reading. Even a Scottish summer day would give a nonsense reading if the thermo was in full sun. It's the temperature in the shade that counts.

Typical Telegraph headline.
BBC 'capitulated' by allowing Gary Lineker to return to Match of the Day
Tory b*****ds.

You'd think they would have learned from that. Unless of course they're doing all of this on purpose in order to get out of Government before the economy completely implodes.
Then they can blame everything on whoever is next.

Saturday's Match of the Day was reduced to 20 minutes with no presenter, pundits, or commentary
Viewing figures for Saturday's show were up by half a million, to more than 2.5m

It was started in the 20’s, and was widespread in the 80’s…but now the kids working the register at food places give blank looks to it.
Oh, “count back the change”…means nothing now with the register telling you how much to give back…the look of panic when they type in a wrong amount, or the register fails, is priceless.

Big deal, Mr Modern Transistor Man!
My old wireless uses capacitors, diodes and vacuum tubes and works just great. Vera Lynn sounds as good as ever!

Incorrect. My dad is a huge rugby fan (he used to play it loads before a knee injury) and he despises the Tories.
My older brother is a big rugby fan who also used to play a lot and also despises the Tories.
Both actually poster anti Tory stuff in our family group chat today.
Also, I'm going to the Scotland game with my old man next week. I'm not really that in to rugby, but I have always despised the Tories too.
When younger I didn't find rugby interesting to watch and never wanted to play (too fkn brutal and my school only had red blaes pitches) but over the years they have tweaked the rules and I now find it enjoyable. (especially today)
Whereas association football has tweaked the rules and made the game less enjoyable to watch.

Scotland v Spain 28/03/2023

Could we have less of the "Spain were were pish" stuff please?
Scotland took them on and neutralised them. (ok, a wee bit of luck, but that's fitba')
