Let’s not lose touch with what’s happening -
Predict The Score - Denmark v Spain
The final matches of Group B with Finland v Germany playing at the same time. This is the match to see who plays England in the quarter-final. Spain just need a draw, Denmark need the win. Get your predictions in by 7.30pm for the 8pm kick off.
Good luck -
Predict The Score - Northern Ireland v England
The final match of their group. England have already qualified, Northern Ireland are already eliminated, so a lot of the reserve players will probably get pitch time tonight. Even the black ones. Get your predictions in by 7.30pm for the 8pm kick off.
Good luck -
They was all white on the night
Can you believe the BBC have put a downer on the England lionesses 8-0 win over Norway by complaining that every player was white. The presenter was moaning about the lack of diversity.
Honestly BBC, to find the best England team the manager picks the best players. What colour they are doesn't come into it. -

Beaurocratic Murder (Edited)
Not looking good for the Brits who fought for Ukraine.
Mercenaries ? The entire French Foreign Legion are mercenaries as are all non-Brits serving with the British armed forces.
Mercenary = A professional soldier hired to serve in a foreign army.

I sent in meter readings as usual over a week ago but still haven't had an energy bill.
Perhaps the prospect of this meeting and what was agreed about showing how direct debits are calculated etc has made my provider (Shell Energy) focus harder on revising how they work out the incomprehensible bills that they've been sending me this year.

Predict The Score - Netherlands v Portugal
This is the later of todays matches. Earlier Sweden and Switzerland are playing. Portugal didn't qualify for these Euros but as the best placed non-qualifiers they were chosen to take the place of the banned Russia team. Get your predictions in by 7.30pm for the 8pm kick off

Wimbledon could have a Russian champion (Edited)
Wimbledon organisers are thought to be absolutely livid that Russian tennis player Elena Rybakina has circumvented the ban on Russian players by switching allegiance to Kazakhstan shortly before the tournament.
She was born in Moscow and lives there so no doubting she is Russian.
As for the final itself, I think the other finalist, Ons Jabeur, will be the favourite.
Could be the first African, ethnically Arab, Tunisian winner. Or the first (not really) Kazakh winner.
But as I've said before tennis players represent themselves, not their countries. There should never have been a ban.
I think Rybakina will win -
