Morning folks and welcome to match day. Hope we're all good? Inexplicably and completely without any intention, I grabbed the first football shirt that I could find in my wardrobe last night to wear today for work (desk jockey who can work from home, so I pretty much wear what I want when I'm not [...]
The football is starting to get interesting now, eh? Last night we had the Netherlands being knocked out to the Czech Republic, whilst Portugal were exited from the competition at the hands of the Belgians.

Not only did I have to sit through some of the most mind-numbingly dull football one could ever imagine, but the team's that'd I'd decided to temporarily shift my allegiance to all failed in [...]
Sometimes people do get a little too worried about stuff that they can have absolutely no influence on, don't they?
