Re: Coronavirus Thread. Virus v humans
London - very few people about on the streets. Several chain stores closed, especially American owned. I expect most non-essential shops will close soon. But until they are ordered by the Government to stay home many employers expect staff to travel to work. Supermarkets cleaned out. Supply of foods...

Re: Build Up to the Crunch
What a poor weekend. Six Nations and only one team turned up try to to play entertaining rugby.
England regressing. Hard to find any positives in tactics, team selection or execution.

Re: Do the living outnumber the dead?
But what form do the dead take? Do we measure by volume, weight, age or absence rather than number when comparing to the living? I once irritated a living person trying to convert me to their cult by asking "if there are "old Souls" like your revered leader (who asks you to donate 10% of your salary...

Re: RWC: Pool D: Fiji vs Uruguay: MATCH THREAD
It's proving a better game than expected. But why don't the commentators talk the game in front of them instead of saying repeatedly "of course Fiji will win". How about respecting the effort of Uraguay as it plays out? I have NZ commentators and they are not saying that, which do you have? ITV (UK)

Re: Official Wales v England Pre-RWC Warm-up Match Thread No
Poor game. England kept making the same mistakes. As if they were drilled to play a certain game and when that didn't work they kept trying like it was practice match. There was too much slowing down the ball going unchallenged, both sides. For sure players want to win a match, a tournament, but whe...

Re: Official 2019 FIFA Women's Football World Cup thread
First Half England tried to play from the back and when that didn't work they tried to play from the back. Sweden capitalised from defensive errors they knew England would make under pressure. Second half was always going to be tough as heat and physical and mental tiredness took their toll. England...

Re: Official 2019 FIFA Women's Football World Cup thread
England have done well against opposition who failed to take advantage of some awful moments. Frequently giving the ball away will result in being starved of possession by technically superior teams. Their composure threatened by more theatrical players. However well they play, it will sadly all dep...
