If we lose this match it just rubs it in and if we win, the same, thinking of what might have been
The match really isn't comparable to a world cup final. You can't read too much into it. In all those situation where in a world cup final you will absolute strain every ouch you have out of yourself to get to the ball, now you are thinking don't get injured I have a season ahead of me.
There are also numerous videos about how the armour is wrong for the period, how those are some really WASPy Greeks, and how using the racial mix of 21st metropolitan Los Angeles doesn't really work in-universe.
None of this will make a blind bit of difference to the box-office, though...
If we win, it'll be our best result since 1966. We lost the other two third place games we played in 2018 and 1990. Like it or not, Tuchel can say he's the best manager England have had since Ramsey........
The same government keeps on adding new things for which we need to prove our identity or age. So scrapping a system that might actually be half-decent for the smorgasbord of PII exposing alternatives that funnel all sorts of important data off-shore isn't necessarily good news.
Indeed. The current situation is mandatory ID without a standardised way of demonstrating it. This is just delaying the inevitable (again)
Well if he scraps all the intended online uses, that would make sense at least, but I doubt he'll do that, in fact I expect he'll likely do even more of them. This is a problem that is going to bite some future government on the arse. If you want people to keep proving their identity and age — even such mundane things as iOS on your phone insists on knowing your age now — then you ought to have a system in place that is as secure and private as possible, not scan you face or documents and send it to a server in Timbuktu. This kind of knee jerk decision without thinking through the consequences does not bode well.
Implementation is all important. I have no idea about the specific scheme and whether it's a good one. But if you require ID to vote, access healthcare, deal with your tax, have a job etc, there needs to be a universal form of it that everyone has.
No, there does not. There needs to be options people can choose from and everyone ought to be able to get one of those options, but the more fragmented it is, the better.
A single unified system is a dystopian nightmare.
Not as dystopian as the current situation where you have to prove ID and not everyone has the means to do so reliably and easily.
The key choice is whether you need demonstrate ID for government stuff.
There are many options to prove ID, everyone can choose any of those.
All in favour of making it easier to get any of them if needed, but absolutely no need to have another one everyone has to have.
Not to get at you, but this clearly doesn't solve the problem of easily and reliably demonstrating ID in the multiple ways you need to do so. And shows why you need a single comprehensive means of ID.

Also- the more established you are, the less you need to prove your identity and the less hassle it is to do so.
So you get the absurdity pointed out here from time to time, that it's harder for young British natives to prove their right to work than foreigners.
It's very British to preen ourselves on not being a "papers, please" society, but very often we are. And then we make the provision of those papers a mess.

Maybe that's part of the point. Sometimes, the way to improve performance is to take the pressure off.

Not remotely.
There are a plethora of ways of easily and reliably demonstrating ID. There is absolutely no need whatsoever for any comprehensive means of ID, there is a menu of options and pick one that suits you.

Pick which one? Passport doesn't have address and NI number. Driving licence is only for people who drive and doesn't include NI number or residency status. No other ID is accepted for photo. Neither of these will get you online...
In every case at least one ID will be compulsory anyway
The good thing is that our defeat to Argentina was bad because we thought we could win. France found out that they’re not very good against Spain. That probably explains what we’ve seen tonight.
Why is Saka showing so much desire in the dead game ? Was he simply injured previously ?
They seem a lot happier now they are free to just play without expectation.
And no ch****** referee. Our boys were having lumps kicked out of them by those b@57@rds. The sitting deep-bus parking tactics may have been poor after the first goal but the boys were probably physically hurting too.
FIFA want the Messi win so that is what they have engineered. Shame really.
Maybe I spoke too soon? After all I did suggest that Andy Burnham wouldn't win the Makerfield by election. So maybe I don't call it right all the time? 😈👿😈
So England leading 4-2 in the consolation prize 3rd place playoff in the football and beat Argentina in the rugby earlier today. So a better day for the national team to end the week

No pride.
It's a glorified friendly.
France's "don't give a shit" attitude is allowing England time and space to play.

Though I can understand them not trying too hard now.

Any explanations for this?
14 - 0 seems unlikely, though.
Mers El KébirAgincourt.But ultimately this is a meaningless match.

So let's enjoy this. Ok I am assuming we hold on 👍
Will this not improve our ranking if nothing else?
Beat France 8-0 and it becomes highly amusing regardless of the context.
I think they do care
(hint: we lost the play-off in 1990 AND 2018).
Their keeper can join him there.
Let's hang the bunting out and bang a saucepan or two.
Ahead of France.
What we can do when we share out the goals beyond 'Arry and Jude.
If only he'd taken over last Tuesday.

Bye bye Thomas.
4-5 anyone?
Losing from 4-0 would be humiliating.
This is going to be an end to end battering
Exile to Mumsnet is appropriate.
4-3.
