1st time in a Euro game.
Not convinced by him as a captain.
Think he will be a great captain eventually.
I think so, too. Surprised he wasn't made Ireland, captain- seems to have that quiet effective demeanour.

Steady on there. Wiggy was still employing the 'hoof and chase' approach against Scotland. This "change" has only been in place for two matches, and has a 50% success-rate (via a last-minute droppy) so far.

Re: Israel declares state of war

I find it fascinating that the death of seven aid workers, mainly non-Palestinian, are suddenly seen as the "final straw" and not the deaths of more than 30,000 Palestinians who have died before this.

Re: LRZ

I see that the Chiefs have posted LRZ's top speed in a match as being 2mph (24.something mph) faster than Tyreek Hill's fastest game speed. That is some interesting marketing right there. I bet Tyreek hits his top speed a lot quicker than LRZ does, though. A few points: TH made that run with helmet...
