Anyone else feel funny/uncomfortable that we're only talking about, in my case just even knowing about, books and vaccines re Dolly Parton.
Books 'n' vaccines not quite as catchy as tits 'n' country.
Sounds like a good woman. RIP.

That finish, and MVdP hanging on, reminds me of the Vuelta stage where Tony Martin soloed for 160km as training for the world's ITT, but he didn't hang on and got caught in the last 10m.

I wonder how much Cav is 'hating' the new Pog super dominance, but can't really say that.....
Come on Mathieu, 12s gap...

Is this Infantino begging to keep his post?
I hadn't realised Argentina had been ignoring protocols the whole tournament. Were there others. And FIFA just ignored it?

I'm convinced the Argentina football team thinks they have a sanzaar body, like rugby, that maintains a different set of disciplinary standards and guidance from the rest of the world.

Fernandez sent off within seconds, for a 2nd yellow.
Immediately waving a finger to call for a review, or something....can they upgrade it to straight red?

Simeone really is a little piece isn't he. That's solid braced shove, out of nothing.
Meanwhile, General Galtieri conceding an indirect free kick for invading sovereign territory.

We have reached peak US TV director influence. Never mind excessive views of fouls/incidents affecting our team, we have instead reached max celeb spotting in the crowd. FFS.
And they've got the next f***ing Olympics too!

Wtf is this. I know you can do a stupid half-time show. I'd just assumed ITV would ignore it and give us punditry and analysis instead.
In addition, it would have been a subtle finger to FIFA.

Spain are going to get the first yellow card, aren't they, for an average one. Meanwhile, Argentina will have committed 3 or 4 reducers....

Wouldn't this constitute prejudice of a possible trial.
I mean, quite apart from the fact Farage is possibly just making it up.

🚨 NEW: Nigel Farage says Ann Widdecombe murder suspect Joshua Kerry is a "hard-left activist" who expressed hatred of him many times
"I have it on good authority that the murder suspect was a hard-left activist. He attended various marches and hated anyone with an opposing view"

England defending narrow again, inviting Argentina to play with width.
Dodgy grounding, 2nd tackle is round the neck but ignored.
Hmm.
