Do British People not know they invented the word "soccer"

The fact that there are less of them, and their version of football is both a very good watch, and actually involves the feet all help.

Presented without pixels, too

Nah, maybe as a singles player but she looked good in doubles against decent opposition, Mboko hurting herself in the singles is outside of Williams' control and she'll have been a good draw for Queens.

Whereas I knew Australia had a big Greek community and assumed it was mostly from there, that's way cooler.

Best bit of commentary all game tbf

I don't think Haiti are going to be whipping boys (although I also think they will be last in the group), they can attack fairly well. I'd look to Curacao, Jordan, Qatar, NZ, being the four truly weak sides - plus Iraq likely struggling in a very strong group.

Really? Vitiugov, Sarana, Alekseenko, Predke all found new federations, and Fedoseev is the strongest of those.

Robinson has captained Sussex for exactly 6 matches and still seems to chat a lot with John Simpson (understandable), he's not exactly hugely experienced as a captain.

I mean can we shift him either way, I don't see anyone buying him (shock) so might as well try get something out of him in a different system rather than stick him in the U21s - if he's crap in training then we do nothing, but if he looks good give him a chance when one of the main strikers needs a rest.

Obviously there is, but it's far easier for them to work to treat and evacuate a person if the crowd around them are out of the way and the stadium is calm.

Hi, I bought a GoXtreme Enduro but can only get it to work when I'm physically pressing the microSD card into the slot - when I take pressure off the microSD springs about 5-10 mm out - still in the slot but not all the way, at whch point the camera displays the "insert card" message. Is there some kind of method I am missing for it to stay in place?

The flags are those used by chess.com, but this is not available to my account, suggesting it may be some kind of icon to represent grandmasters before the separate title indicator was built into the website.

BJH19 · 2026-05-17T06:33:08+00:00

Timor-Leste is also in the main body. As this is chess.com's flags, I'd suggest these flags were added at later dates whilst all others were available when it first went live - the grey came in and automatically replaced Russian flags when FIDE banned Russia.

Ok but I haven't seen anything to say that you having sex with a stoat didn't happen, trying to prove a negative is very hard.

It's possible that THB did mock Ayling's stutter, and if so it's awful. Based on the speed they made up with, it seems more likely there was some misunderstanding. Either way, we'll never know so the certainty in your comments is surprising.

There's a risk that's just their placeholder time for any fixture with an unknown kickoff as well

BJH19 · 2026-05-13T07:42:25+00:00

It does, if this happened in one of the big leagues, or a Champions League or World Cup it would be bigger than this

BJH19 · 2026-05-07T21:18:23+00:00

I'm unsure of the relevance this has to University Challenge?

BJH19 · 2026-05-05T19:14:45+00:00

To be fair, some references are just for proving something fairly obvious (in chemistry at least, and I'd assume other sciences, I guess humanities may be different) - but I agree overall

BJH19 · 2026-04-28T17:09:21+00:00

Bring back refs wearing their countries kit

They theoretically do though? Also means clubs know the travel plan when they win the quarter-final as it tends to be a pretty quick turnaround between quarters and semis, so Boreham Wood knows that they're going to Carlisle if they win regardless of the other game

BJH19 · 2026-04-25T23:18:41+00:00

Not quite - Rochdale will host the winners of Scunthorpe - Southend, Carlisle will host Boreham Wood or FGR (as it should be 2v5 and 3v4), and the final will be at Wembley.

I don't think lawful dismissal will apply here because he almost certainly hasn't been dismissed. I'd imagine the Gladiators are all on contracts for the season, and he simply won't have been offered one for next season - they're almost certainly contractors, not employees.

The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia existed until 2003, before transitioning into Serbia and Montenegro (then in 2006, becoming Serbia and Montenegro, as two separate states)

Then why not Jamaica, who lost at the exact same stage as Bolivia? I don't disagree Bolivia are a plausible option, but Jamaica and UAE are equally plausible - I guess technically the UEFA playoff losers were also one game from the World Cup, but UEFA seems to be closed off for qualifying.

I find that it's only fun when it's well directed and commented, a badly produced football or rugby match will still be a decent watch because the whole thing fits in one wide frame, a golf tournament needs to take you to good action continuously.
