The draw:

Group L: England, Croatia, Ghana, Panama

it could have been better but also worse.

The big plus (for fans in England watching on television) is that it's just been announced that all of England's group games will kick off either at 9pm or 11pm British Summer Time⚽
World Cup 2026 draw begins in a few minutes (5pm GMT)⚽

Like many, I'm trying to pick England's best and worst group scenario.

Best: England, Austria, Qatar, Curaco

Worst: England, Columbia, Ivory Coast, Uefa Play-off B(unless Italy win A)

Day 5: women guitarists who also sing

Day 2: two songs of love

I'm going to try thinking of Christmas songs. I've got one straight away, then my brain had a clever idea. Admittedly, the first one since March 2023.
