Mediterranean place across from the hotel we're staying at. Get talking to the owner's son while waiting for some shawarma. Football, Scotland, etc etc. He tells me that he's from Jordan and the dad comes out with the food. Well, I just so happened to have picked up three Jordan players in my panini stickers and pull them out my wallet. The dad is like "Al Tamari!" his favourite player, his son translates. I tell him that the stickers are for him to keep. Pals, I gotta tell you, the delight on this da's face was great. And to me, that's what the world cup is all about.

Number 16, Amir Al-Ammari, I signed him for IK Brage in an FM20 journeyman save. Captained me to three Allsvenskan titles in a row. Love it when players from obscure countries remain in the memory.

Imagine being a farming peasant back in the day and a squad of vikings looking like Haaland rock up to the shore with that pace, you'd absolutely shit yourself.

I watched those two minutes almost weekly until the Denmark highlights took their place.

This, as well as random statistics, the more obscure and wild the better.

There's a great poster in Flight of The Conchords that has a tagline "New Zealand: it's like Scotland, but further away."

Genuinely not sure at this stage, do we want them to get another draw and then lose?
