I wonder how many copies of this are on my phone. Probably 12-15

time to open a can of fish

Sometimes I think about stuff like “how did someone come up with a word like wanker” and then I see the English coach and I’m like “ahh, yeah, that’s a fuckin wanker right there.”

let the record show that I've had nothing bad to say about VAR ever

Isn’t it tall, Norwegian wall

If VAR were a person

incredible flopping here

NORGE!! 🇳🇴

Norway v. Neitherway

uh oh, looks like Harry Kane got that orange man doo doo stink all over him!

It’s been nearly four years, and I’ve adjusted to most things about Charles in charge by now, but I’m still not quite used to it being God Save the *King*

finally found an original, uncropped version of that one meme

I wonder how the Netherlands has to feel about no longer being the number one thing people think of when they hear /ˈhɑ.lənd/

Ahead of England v Norway in the World Cup, enjoy this classic from my old pal Patrick Kidd in The Times

Can’t quite put a finger on why, but crossing the Betsy Ross Bridge gives me bad vibes

I'm here you fuckaas bitch

Think I’d be great at soccer. I regularly go 90 mins without accomplishing one goal

Spain showing the value of following up for the rebound today, cementing their place in the hearts of every dad who stresses fundamentals at practice

"Well, well, well. Not so easy to find a center back who doesn't get dunked on by Ketelaere, is it?"

RIP bonnie tyler. lotta folks tonight are gonna learn the extent to which 'total eclipse of the heart' is outside their karaoke range

I keep thinking about this Alex Ross painting of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen that is, for some reason, also the cast of 30 Rock

Ooh, what a beautiful penalty save. Punish that stutter step!

Horrible new bullshit from the sea every time. It’s never ‘oh we found a new pink fish that is so happy’ it’s always stuff like this, the crush-depth screw-headed dongwongler, and it’s got to have big long creepy bits. Sick of the ocean tbh.
