There's a British documentary about an English rugby player who has ALS / MND / Lou Gehrig Disease (if you want to know all the disease's names). It's brilliant TV but it's very tough to watch it.

Spanish boxer Enrique Rodriquez, bronze medalist in Munich 1972, died a day earlier from the same disease

60 years ago, Walter Winterbottom, the coach of the England team predicted that an African nation would win the World Cup by the end of the 20th century. Maybe he picked the wrong century...

If only they had changed the name of their country to Canadaiye, they might be world champions...

England-Iran - audience of nearly 8 million in the UK in the middle of the afternoon. USA-Wales - 9 million in the evening

Re - the women. You mean qualify for the semi-finals or qualify for the World Champs?

Well, Uruguay had beaten Brazil in Sao Paolo only 2 months before the WC Final in 1950.

The Statistics people are saying it's the 3rd biggest upset in World Cup history. The two more shocking results are USA 1 England 0 in 1950 and North Korea 1 Italy 0 in 1966.

Yes, it's an old tweet but still funny...

Great rugby tackle by the Iranian defender...

The offside was earlier in the move

And that didn't work...

I just want both teams to lose today.

If this was rugby the goalkeeper would have a red card...

Also remember that Ecuador were fined for using falsified documents to ensure one of their players was allowed to play for them.

No, a penalty! What is the referee doing? Did he not get the memo?

It was offside though, the Ecuador player in the middle was beyond the keeper and only had one defender in front of him...

Last three teams to beat Qatar have been Canada, the Croatian Under 23 team and Linfield FC of Northern Ireland...
