How would the best teams knocking each out be good for the world cup?

England u17s have won 7-5 v Germany in Duisburg tonight. Also home wins for the u18s and u19s against Canada and The Netherlands respectively.

Is there not a bit of a difference? A pivot more of a ball player from deep and a holding midfielder would generally have less influence on the ball but is instead be better at breaking up play

Luis is supposed to be a holding midfielder rather than a pivot, according to Benfica fans, at least.

Lowerhouse are now an astonishing 64 points clear at the top of the Lancashire League with one game remaining.

Would this be the biggest winning margin, Adam?

Shared his birthday with Harry Secombe, oh, and me!

And me too! I am just 28 years younger than him!

I can hear the crowd noise at Damson Park from my back garden which is just across Elmdon Park from the ground. Looking forward to the 21st and actually going to the ground! 25 years I've lived here and never been in! (Although I have played walking football on their 3g+ pitch behind the ground)

At a lower level, I played the whole game as the striker for my Birmingham Whites today as we won 4-1 with me getting our second and also having 2 assists.

Sometimes this walking football is dead easy!

That freekick when we played Leeds. We lost, but still an absolute belter.

Balanced by that miss at Norwich that may have gained us a point and possible safety!

Interestingly, a report from Wales Online after 11 p.m. last night said the deal was still being worked on. I've been told that, as long as a deal agreement signed by both clubs was submitted before the deadline, the deal has an additional 24 hours, or possibly 2 days to be completed. I don't know ...

That’s awesome they will be able to play the top teams next season Cricket is a game for those at all levels, whether it be a youngster learning how to be the best you you can be or a senior player trying to hold onto the best you you can be! Or even, like I always was, a player with limited skills...

Not only that, but without membership, I can only buy 1 ticket per game.
Outrageous

You don't have to pay for a membership but you can only buy home tickets if you have a Clarets Number. You can't just go and buy a handful 'on spec' as it were.

As dire as United were last season they remained unbeaten against the 3 newly promoted clubs. Huge gulf in class between the Championship and PL.

ManUre have W20 D3 L1 against promoted teams over the past 8 seasons! (and the L1 was their 1st game 8 seasons ago!)

Squad values.jpg This says we have the lowest valued squad, according to TranferMarkt, in the Premier League but will make around £50m profit on them when they move on. They reckon our squad is worth £200m which is just over £21m less than even Sunderland and is less than a fifth of Arsenal's, Chel...

Clowns the lot of them. I've reffed a few times. It is incredibly difficult even in kids football and, more recently, walking football when there is absolutely nothing but pride at stake. Professional refs have endured a harsh learning curve through junior and non-league games and have to follow st...

their professional pride took a massive hit last night

Only a couple of decent results against teams already 'on the beach' at the end of last season kept them from finishing 17th. I think any thought of professional pride has long since disappeared at Old Trafford.

I suspect every one of them will play a full reserve team. So they're trying to solve a problem that scarcely exists.

Isn't that what we did last night? 0 starters from our win over Sunderland even in the matchday squad.

Like I say as well, the Standing charge is a complete and utter joke. You should only pay for what you use - if you don't use it, in no normal world should you pay extra. How the hell the Government allow that is beyond me. So who would pay for the maintenance of the gas pipes or electric cabling i...

Workmanlike - but what else could you expect from a squad containing 0 starters from last Saturday's win over Sunderland, and players such as Ramsey, Bashir, Broja, and Tresor, coming into the squad in order to get some vital game time after long-term injuries.

I used to enjoy going to the Cricket Club for a pre-match pint, but won't bother now as it will be a long walk to my seat in the CFS rather than the few steps it has been previously.

Tarks made a move towards the ball and his face showed he knew it had hit his arm. Ref couldn't see it clearly, consulted his line assistant and gave the pen. No reason at all for VAR to overrule the decision. SHOULD be a penalty every time it happens.

One thing that sorts out where players bat in the order is CONSISTENCY. You may have a couple of centuries at 9, 10, or 11 - but you'll also have lots of 0s and single digit innings to go with them.

Dan Salpietro top scored with 51, a knock that also took him past 1,000 Lancashire League runs for Lowerhouse. A remarkable 96-run stand for the 9th wicket between Paddy Martin (37) and Francois Haasbroek (84) – the second highest in the club’s history – added five valuable batting points. #UTH 💛💙 ...

Banal was the most pointless one of the lot. Going into the final run of the promotion chase, he was never going to contribute. Utterly pointless I think he was a player they foresaw a value uptick from. One of those, "If it works out great, and if it doesn't we can get back more than we paid." sor...
