Insusoect if he wasn't a footballer

I did some background reading. I am somewhat surprised that even with a clear itinerary and evidence of a temporary visit, suspicion of criminality is enough. I can't recall aajor sporting event being effected like this before though.

It is indeed very rare.

England have their equipment stolen from their training camp.

If this had happened in UK, Trump would be on X telling everyone that we were an unsafe Crime ridden Hell hole

Well it’s obviously due to all the foreigners they’ve had to let in for the World Cup.

Ok, what's more annoying? Lee Dixon or hydration breaks?
On another issue, am I right in thinking there are significantly fewer Saint George flags around this world cup. Tainted by the flag sh*ggers or just less enthusiasm for this world cup?

Doesn’t “officially” kick off till next week.

Eh? Starts (and probably ends) tonight.

Not for the St. George flag shaggers.
Fairly sure it will still be mathematically possible for the St. Andrew flag shaggers regardless of the score tonight. Just need to beat Brazil. As ever…😉

Hydration breaks are not a new thing.

Lee Dixon, however, is a constant irritant.

Hydration breaks when it is 23c in the stadium are a new thing. Brought to you by coca cola.

I didn't realise that Kansas City is in Missouri.

Another pointless fact, 'soccer' is actually an English word, not an Americanism. It comes from As soc iation football.
