I predict an England victory as ITV aren't broadcasting it.

In Test cricket, each side has two referrals in the space of 80 overs. If they are correct in challenging the umpires decision, they don't lose a review.

Maybe something similar could be used in the large competitions like the World Cup or European Championships with all the dozens of cameras being available for evidence.

RFID chip inside ball.
Sensors on goal posts.
End of arguments....but they don’t want that do they? The debate is part of the entertainment!

They're already using something similar. I do know they were trialling hawkeye as well.

Just about to head out to the school production of Les Miserables; hopefully by the time I get home there will be lots of people in Englandshire who are miserables too.

Settling down to this. Couldn't find a Tunisian beer in Morrisons - they have Peroni in Tunisia don't they though?

According to the Beeb:

England have won one of their last eight World Cup games

Probably a similar record to Scotland.

 

[Reynard]

Yay!!!

Was a fabby save from the keeper from the initial header though.

 

[Seevio]

That was easy.
