That’s rubbish. Many fouls are calculated. The vast majority have little danger.

A stupid and dangerous challenge is a red card offence.

Did they have the five flavour one too?

They’re gluttons for it!

Got to go down as a surprise result in match 1. Oxford Utd 2-1 Ipswich Town - all three goals were lovely finishes from the edge of the penalty area.

I only checked on Red Star v Steaua as it definitely sounded like something I’d have watched in the early 90s

We picked out all the right teams, just not necessarily in the right order!

As it turns out the only issue with Pot 1 in our draw is that France and Germany would have swapped places. Pot 4 is a little more complex. Six groups remain as drawn but the others are shuffled up a bit.

I'm putting together a blog post now to explain all. I bet you can't wait!

Try not to feel bad about it when you see these on sale in supermarkets next year for £8.95 a pop

OK, so we got it a bit wrong. As we mentioned on the pod we were working on the same basis as previous FIFA draws, especially WWC 23 which had a similar PO structure.

The guidance dropped the day after we recorded, which introduced seeded teams in Pot 1 and placed constraints on all PO sides 1/n

It might be club-wide. Michelle Agyemang has cited her faith in almost every post match interview I’ve seen. I hope it’s helping her through her injury
