Some strange results today!

I am looking forward to the England Wales game tonight on free television. Apparently the Welsh have a man pulling a cart past houses from which they throw their Covid infected people onto and have sent them all to England for the game tonight.
They wont let English into their country because of Covid. Ladies need to wear a white doily around their heads and a bell bottom black skirt to pass the border checks. If the guard hands you your papers at the checkpoint and says " good luck ", make sure you answer in Welsh.

I've got a Welsh name, so I should be OK.

If I have to be serious for a moment, I have nothing against the Welsh. Its a nicer place to live and Id live there at the drop of a hat.
I spent many family holidays there when I was young and each one was wonderful.

England/Belgium HT. Watching England was reminiscent of watching BWFC yesterday - didn't even look like scoring before Henderson's dive.

Jammy win but it was against (most of the) world's top ranked team and we stifled the Belgian attack second half which was pretty good. 7 out of 10?

I am pondering whether to watch the Wales game tonight rather than England for a change. Would like to see crowds allowed back because they arent the same without.

Finland 0 Rep Ireland 0  so far.
Finland played 3 with 6 points, Rep Ireland played 3 with 2 points.

England. Appalling.

Terrible team selection and fearful, negative tactics. Reminds me of......

I have enjoyed the Merseyside derby on the Radio. Everton has just equalised 2-2. Id rather listen to football on the Radio than watch on telly, its much more exciting. Radio is unobtrusive, also, and you can get things done while its on. Bliss.

Watched the 2nd half, was a good game

Don't think the third Liverpool goal was offside. VAR is killing the game.

There had been a sending off just before this. I couldnt believe ( some excitement ) when it was announced  a while after the 3-2 goal when they suddenly said they were checking for offside. Then there were individual screams of joy ( could hear them over the fake crowd noises )when it was announced it had been disallowed.

Was it offside?

Wigan v Chorley match is live on BBC Sport online.
There are cardboard cutoutseating pies in the crowd.
It hasnt clashed with Turandot.

BBC 2 has some great around the grounds FA Cup live coverage at the moment.

Good comeback from Chorley.

Extra Time, enjoying this.

Chorley take the lead. Well done, well taken chance. Wigan on ten men.
