He doesn't even kick a ball properly ffs
The ability of Lingard or Sterling to actually hit the target might be my biggest problem, not their conversation ratio

I'd say I've drank about six times in last year and each time has been a disaster. Although trying to hide the whip marks from the wife to avoid extra difficulties.Gone full 'Glinner' since June 2022.

The Japanese aren't up to much at the back and all but even so, the power and directness of the Senegalese front line is impressive!

3-3 draw tonight would be mutually useful to Colombia and Poland.
Would leave them both needing to win their last game but their goals scored would be high enough to guarantee a top 2 finish.
A win tonight doesn't really get them anything more, they would still likely need to win their last game. And a loss eliminates them.

I'll underline the use of the word 'likely' in the op and hope that fixes your confusion. I doubt Colombia will be pinning too many hopes on an eliminated side helping them, so will have to go for a win against Senegal.
My point was that the downside of losing tonight (elimination) was greater than the upside of winning (you'd still likely to need to win your last game regardless) so that tonight veered towards a draw, and the higher score draw the better for both. Meh, when I tip 100/1 shots a lot of them will be missing a foreleg, or in the case of Poland the ability to make 5 metre passes across their own backline.

The rule is that the match can't restart whilst there is a player in the wrong half. Even if the 11th player left the pitch then the game shouldn't really restart anyway as the game can't continue with less than seven players on a side.
What leaving the player on the pitch but in the wrong half achieves is that Spain can't restart the game the exact second all Portuguese players go back into their own half but aren't yet in proper kick off position/formation.

Edit:I the complete openness part, not the whipping part. Could probably do the whipping, maybe.
Edit - Just so I don't sound like some zen cunt with all the answers. The untangling of myself gave rise to realising what a massive cunt I had been as a person in the past at the certain times. The past is somewhere you should visit not wishing for a time-machine but somewhere you can grow and learn from your experiences.

I'll gladly include drunken debauchery in a trip report. But there are always certain details I'd leave out. Even if there's a 1% chance a person who should see it will see it. That's infinitely more risky that 0%

Agree, being a massive cunt in secret is one of life's great joys.

Technically, although it's usually not enforced, once the team has kicked off any player entering the field of play without the referees permission would also get a yellow card.
EDIT: Armani beat me to it.You are technically correct...the best kind of correct

Job offer secured and I'm due to fill out forms pending background so on to my grown up question. What's the go to on pension contributions. I'm in the 15% bracket as I'm under 30 and employer will match 7%.
I might have a look at their funds myself and see what I like as I'm not sure the default will be the most efficient.
I think obviously go to the 7% or should I go beyond the match?Last edited by Guest; 25-06-18, 09:03.

- when do you want to retire?
- when are you planning to die?
If the answer to (1) is 'before the age of 70', then put in the max."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Someone who hasn't lived a day in my head, seen the world through my eyes, lived my experiences and you think you know me from a couple of posts on the internet. It comes back to the same problems. As humans we draw straight lines because they are easy. Understanding is a much harder thing and I am not even sure anyone can truly ever understand another person.
