"Dad games" - brilliant description. Been looking for a good term for the games I play these days!

Aside from the first 10 minutes, the first half was actually very decent. The second half was really terrible, but having half our starting XI injured and then getting our best defensive player sent off doesn't help. Malmö on a regular day is not good enough to compete in the CL and expect...

Don't you tar our national pride Volvo with the cheating stench of the Danes!

This kinda sucks. One month after a statue of him is unveiled in front of our stadium, he buys 25 % of one of our main rivals.

Other than my lingering mental scars from the Barrens, I have to say I'm really enjoying playing the game again. Been a bunch of years!

I'll be on Zandalar Tribe, horde side. Tauren Druid named Sanoe. I won't play very much though, due to life etc. It's purely a nostalgia trip so the novelty of leveling to 60 in 6 months might wear off.

Well this aged well...

If you want to follow someone who seems to have a very good undertsanding of the whole proceedings, it's @emptywheel on twitter. She makes the case that no-one really has any idea when the report is coming and that all of the pundits are guessing.

The valuations are interesting at times. Suarez at 30 is valued at £153 million, more than Neymar and Pogba. Harry Kane as a comparison valued at £74 million. Is Suarez really worth twice what Kane is?

Saw a rewrite of a Sun article in a Swedish newspaper where they claim a source at Carrington says that Luke Shaw has the highest core fitness scores in the squad, together with Valencia, and that he's committed himself to getting in shape. Don't know if we should link to the Sun here, not sure...

Last time Italy won in Sweden was 1912 according to Tancredi Palmieri! I choose to believe the stats (this time!)

I put down £1 on the draw between France and Luxembourg for fun and made myself £21! Shame I didn't have the foresight to put down more :) What a fun game that was.

Glenn Hysen of (captain of) Liverpool (80s)! Olof Mellberg of (captain of) Aston Villa (00s)! Patrik Andersson(90s & 00s) of Bayern Munich and Barcelona! Jonas Olsson (10s) of (captain of) West Brom! There's been a few at least :)

I hope some Enligsh-speaking journo writes the story of Östersund for the broader public. It's pretty cool. It's a team that was founded in 1996, and has an English manager named Graham Potter who took over the team when they were in the 4th tier. They're from a city in the north of Sweden with...

To be fair, Cibicki's card for diving was harsh. It was nothing. A proper tackle and no dive. Strandberg's was as divey as it gets.
