I honestly think it is variation between the balls themselves that is causing them to swing or not - essentially a fault in the manufacturing process where each ball is different. Tim Southee took 7 for f%ck all against in England in CWC2015, swinging the ball late by a foot. When it was England's t...

He's been in poor form, but was a lot better this game I thought. In theory, he brings elite level physicality in tight channels.

Re: 23 seconds from ‘have a word’ to ‘time on’
Never kick the ball across your own goalmouth in soccer.
Always play to the whistle.
Never trust the referee when he says "go back and talk to your team". It needs to be taught to kids that this phrase means nothing. No one should be caught out again.
