Great philosophy Leck. They ran their guts out, so was very proud of them. But he didn't want to hear any of that!

Random thought. If you get the chance to watch the BBC drama 'Dear England', I highly recommend. It's a documentary-drama about Gareth Southgate and his career as English Manager. Really well done.

I saw a video where someone explained the Azteca is 2 and 1/2 times higher in altitude than the highest point in the UK. Will be a huge physical effort for them. (that said I don't know how many Mexican players consistently play at very high altitudes either, in MLS etc).

I love the classics. Thank you

That Harry Kane goal was such a goal.

Thanks Leck. They got further than the club ever had, but disappointing. My son didn't talk on the long drive home. And has told me he never wants to talk about the game. Ever. So it wasn't 'laughing and joking at the end of the game' vibe but more of a Robbie Farah stewing on loss for three...

Thanks Susie. Heartbreaking loss. 1-0!! In the pouring rain.

Not saying it is going to happen but Shuster was hyped up at a very young age. Sometimes experiencing what life is like after football (or the thing you wanted to do with your life) can be a powerful wake up call. His future is in his own hands, which is how I bet any athlete wants it to be.

Not World Cup but my son plays this afternoon in the semi final of the U21s State Cup. His first semi final (playing for 14 years!). (I'll have to check updates on the Tigers Game). Wish him luck!

Good point Enz. I haven't wanted to weigh into the Izzy stuff before. I'm not an expert by any stretch. Perhaps if he had softened his views in any way eg my beliefs about this are firm and well known, but I live in a pluralistic society that allows gay marriage, so I can understand if others...

I have to guess that the club see Solo as a back replacement now, that he is playing mainly in the centres and wing.

Yeah and it wasn't the era of the 'small mobile prop'. It was the era of Petero and Steve Price.

Like when Tim Sheens played Danny Galea in the front row. Good times!

Mystery Prop takes me back! ha!

I feel a bit for kids that have to think about a new career, when they have been dreaming of NRL their whole life. So many junior rep stars don't make it. But had a mate who worked in Bunnings and really liked the place.
