Football

What a call this is as well.



Also had a good wee laugh at all the memes popping up on twitter after the match, especially this one of Daizen.

It's definitely been an exciting group stage - very chuffed for Japan, especially considering I'd thought they'd bottled it after losing to Costa Rica.

Yep. Obviously I've had it bred into me to support England, I can't help but get emotionally invested there, but Japan have honestly been way more fun to support.

Here's hoping for an ENG JAP final! (Or, slightly more realistically, third-place play-off . . .)

While your teams chase domestic trebles, take control of title races and compete for Champions League qualification, there was my team in the background there, posting pictures of dead pigeons.

Actual dead pigeon:

Typical Peterhead welcome that, be thankful it's not Anfield otherwise they'd chuck it at the team bus.

That's still a better mascot than that boiler WBA had.

There’s a conversation needing had about shite football mascots in the future, but right now there’s a Scottish Championship to be decided. What a league this is by the way - everybody plays their final game of the season on Friday night, and nine of the ten teams still have something to achieve. There’s a title decider happening, two promotion play-off places and their order to be settled, a relegation play-off place to be confirmed and automatic relegation is still to be decided as well.

Inverness Caley Thistle have a Scottish Cup Final to look forward to against Celtic as well. There one upset away from a guaranteed eight games of European group stage football, and Celtic absolutely must throw the game. It’ll utterly hammered the co-efficient, but this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for having a Billy Dodds-led Scottish Championship side full of loanees from diddy teams like Port Vale and Walsall to be set up against AC Milan and RB Leipzig.
