Moment of the day for me was seeing San Marino finally scoring a goal.

Shows the scale of football. England get into the Euros and they basically smile. San Marino score an away goal and celebrate like they won the Euros.

Hmm, pie.

Well the England team are all professionals, aren't a lot of the San Marino only part time footballers? You can understand why it would mean so much more to them.

Yeah, and I'm delighted for them. It's just I wish that kind of joy was shown by English professionals when they played. Sometimes it's down right misserable, like a chore for them it seems.

Hmm, pie.

Never thought Brazil would beat the USA this easy. I was thinking the score would be like 1x0 or 2x1, not 4x1. =o

4x1 that could have been even more.

Yep, which surprised me even more to tell the truth. xD

Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

I guess some people are Real Madrid are quite pissed off. De Gea has extended his contract with Manchester United for another 4 years with the option for another extra year

Really makes you wonder though... did he sign this new contract because there is a release clause in there somewhere?

even so, ManU gets money instead of a free transfer at the end of the season and Madrid will have to pay big bucks.. or they found a new girlfriend for de Gea who doesn't whine about being in England:

If he didn't extend he wouldn't have played a single match, accordingly, he might have missed euro 2016 and RM would've lost interest in a player that didn't play for a year. He HAD TO extend.

Can't imagine he has too much for love for RM who should have taken their interest in him far more seriously.

Not playing for an entire year would do some damage to any footballer's career. Whatever club he was considering , they would have had the upper during the contract negotiations, and I stress on missing Euro 2016, that's also a big deal. He had no choice but to extend.
