I was referring to a domestic game being live on one or other of the main channels but somehow forgot to mention that bit!

| Surely Japan’s exploits have to constitute footballing terrorism? Turning up at the World Cup and beating Germany to then lose to Costa Rica. I sometimes think that nation exists purely to fu(k with everyone else’s minds! 
 Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!! | |

 Like when Japan beat South Africa at Rugby Shame they didn't beat England too - if we could get rid of Eddie Jones.

| If memory serves me correctly its because we did so badly in that tournament that Eddie Jones was appointed. Didn't we get beaten by Wales ( making a mess of a last minute play where we should have come inside instead of going down the line which was easier to defend) & failed to get out of our group ?

Edited by Stirlingsays (27 Nov 2022 2.39am) This has probably veered too far away from the OP and I disagree with your views to such an extent that there is little point in either of us spending any more time on this. In other news, Morocco beat Belgium! A World Cup that keeps throwing up surprises. England take note.

Didn't get out of our group on a home world cup. However, there was progress maybe 2-3 years ago, but a downward trajectory ever since. Look like also rans in the upcoming world cup in France. Only thing that could possibly save it - sack Jones.

| Shame, they always got along so well! In other news, is anybody as fortunate as I to sit at home half working, half watching the WC? Cameroon vs Serbia certainly shook the theme of the bore, goalless draw!
