I can't say I saw that coming. Argentina reaching the semi-finals after how poor they were in the group stage underlines how much weaker that side of the draw is.
-
Something that always strikes me about Mike Flanagan's shows is how many of the same actors keep showing up. It must make casting a lot easier.
-
It's been a big fuss for the last eighteen months. I must have overestimated how much it has permeated into the mainstream.

According to some reports, the newest Activision games won't come to Game Pass until next year. In the meantime, it's more likely that a few of the older games will start appearing.
-
This can't have been the first you've heard of it, surely. Today is the day that the deal has been confirmed and approved.

Someone I went to school with thought that "silver black phantom bike" in Meat Loaf's Bat out of Hell was "Cilla Black fan on a bike".

It's very unlikely, given the difference in physical size between the two models and the old digital console's lack of the appropriate ports.
-
They will also be selling a detachable disc drive separately for anyone who buys a digital console and wants to use discs later.

I remember reading that the chorus is one of the most commonly misheard in pop music. Apparently, some have heard it as "See that girl, watch her scream, kicking the dancing queen." In the same article, several people polled said that they heard Madonna's lyrics as "Like a virgin, touched for the thirty-first time."

How on Earth can you put all these bands on a single day? It seems like a nightmare for clashes.

He probably takes the Rooney Rule literally.

I've always heard "All the single ladies" as "I'm a cigarette".

The quarter-finals are looking very interesting. Based on group stage form, Wales should beat Argentina. Ireland/New Zealand and France/South Africa look like nearly 50/50 matches. Fiji beat England in a pre-tournament friendly, which adds some spice. The Fiji that played Australia would definitely win against the England that played Samoa.

Farrell running out of time to take a penalty just epitomises the carelessness of this England team.
-
This is the England we've come to know. Video technology being used to change an on-field decision a couple of minutes later? Who would have thought it?
-
On the positive side, they beat a club with another horrible ownership group.
-
Scunthorpe have a new owner. Hopefully, things will be better moving forward.

I remember reading a while ago that the Saudi government offered to pay for some Greek stadiums to support the bid. Is that still on the table? -

Presumably, the kickoff times at the start of the tournament will be all over the place. -

Three different continents? They might as well just go the whole hog and say the entire world is the official host. -

My general annoyance with VAR, issues like this aside, is the way it takes some of the "in the moment" excitement out of the game. Most of the time when I see a goal scored or a penalty awarded, I'm waiting for the inevitable VAR check. It makes crowd celebrations feel a bit more muted as many fans probably go through the same thought process.

If you want, yes.

I sometimes wish I didn't like football because there are so many incidents like this. I know it's a small minority, but it seems as if it's at least somebody almost every week celebrating the deaths of opposing fans or players.
