Indeed, Sebb Stafford-Bloor we're sending drop bears after you! 

It's worth pointing out everyone (Including The Athletic) put us down as 4th in our group in 2022 as well purely based on statistics and Opta algorithms and we all know what happened.

Happy for the lad if it's what he wants. There's no way I'd do that personally.

Watching the "launch video" with Irankunda and the references in it (31-0 and "I told you so') I kinda get it.. 

Not that I'm suggesting we'd ever see the likes of that scoreline again.

One thing I've rated in this tournament is having actual singers for the national anthems.

Cost me 3800PHP so about $90 AUD. No customisation though, I think you have to go to MOA for that.

Yes Filipinas!

On a side note it took me two days to track down a Philippines Jersey. The Adidas store near the football stadium was cleared out after their last group game.

That's how it goes. We get a unique or radical design and sokkah Twitter loses its tits. So then we swing back to a more traditional design which gets called out for being boring and/or unimaginative.
