    That’s an expensive mistake, don’t let go of your pint when they cost £10.

    More seriously, local reports of either a container ship or an oil tanker on fire, at Jebel Ali Port. Hope everyone’s alright, but it’s always a very busy area, at and around the port.

    England’s last three semi-finals went to extra time. Looks like this one is too.

    Followed by penalties, which the Danes win. Some poor sod misses for England and becomes the new Southgate, a quarter-of-a-century later. The circle is completed.

    There was a really coarse individual on PB who used the phrase 'X is going to get pounded like a dockside hooker.'

    Fortunately he classed up and now uses the phrase 'X is more fucked than a stepmom on pornhub.'

    Ha ha - not yet!

    To be honest, dig into the data and the curse of ITV is more apparent if you only look at regular time. I think England have squeaked through extra time/penalties a couple of times on ITV.

    It's actually more qualitative. Even when England win on ITV, it's never comfortable. It's just squeaking through against Trinidad and Tobago.

    Objectively, I know there can be no reason for this.
    And yet.

    Because the authorities didn’t like not knowing when a game was going to end.

    Also, the very first golden goal should have been disallowed for offside, but the officials bottled it because all the Germans had run on the pitch.

    The riff to Seven Nation Army if a pretty common song in European football. Apparently Club Brugge did it first. Sometimes it has words. (Oh, Kevin de Bruy-ne). But usually it doesn't.

    I think they might actually play it over the PA half the time.
