Don't think Evo-Stik have been sponsors since 2019.

Been scraping the barrel this week for football to watch.
Last night saw Belgium beat Serbia 1-0 in a friendly played in Leuven in an empty stadium after the match was swapped from Brussels due to a waterlogged pitch.
Romelu Lukaku was sat in the stands looking incredibly bored every time the camera focussed on him, mind you it wasn't exactly like the two most recent Chelsea games.
The Belgium Captain Carrasco scored after 2mminutes and that was that.
Tonight' treats are European Qualifiers between Liechtenstein and Portugal or Slovakia V Iceland.
I've chosen the Portugal game, after all they're full of stars and ranked 6th in the world, and have played 8 won 8 so far in this competition.
Portugal have scored 32 goals in their first 8 games so far yet curiously it's 0 -0 @ Half Time.

Defending Italian Serie A champions Napoli have sacked Rudi Garcia after less than 6 months in charge & replaced him with former Watford manager Walter Matzarri until the end of the season.
Urs Fischer has left German side Union Berlin after a remarkable couple of seasons which included promotion & eventually getting to the Champions League for this season.

Mo Salah scored four of Egypt's goals in their group section match.

Not a game that will live long in the memory, it was more like a Testimonial match.
Ronaldo scored just after half time and Portugal won 2-0.
They had over 30 shots but less than a third were on target., still only conceded 2 in 9 games.

Everton have been docked, immediately, 10 points after being found to have breached the Premier League's profit and sustainability rules
Now do Manchester City.....................................

I'd expect that penalty to be at least halved, if not suspended, on appeal. The football governing bodies usually have a bark worse than their bite... until a club small enough to have the book thrown at it fails to dot the i's and cross the t's correctly (exhibit A, Luton Town).
Though I agree that Manchester City must surely be in a similar position even with their greater levels of success (and resultant revenue) over recent years.

Man City face that many charges and is breaking profit and sustainability rules one of them? If not then there is no comparison between the two cases. Besides City will drag any findings that go against them through every court that is available to them and it will years and cost the FA a small fortune.

They were considerably better when they had the 1883 addendum, once they went back to the original name they reverted to type.

Bit of an understatement!
Yes I guess it was!

One of my sons tells me that for most of the match, once the England team got 30 yards out from the Malta goal, the midfield and forward players seemed to forget they were supposed to press onwards and have attempts on goal and decided to play like extra Malta defenders and to return the ball back to the England half of the pitch.

Gibraltar would have pulled it round at 3 - 0 but we had a man sent off.
Interestingly, Ireland, who needed to lose to still have a chance to qualify, lost.

Gibraltar managed to lose twice to R of I.
How embarrassed must Gib be about that !
Couple of games this afternoon at 2.00, think I will watch Hungary v Montenegro as I can't see Bulgaria troubling Serbia.
Don't fancy either of the 5pm games then Spain for the evening game.

I'm with you on that, Spain V Georgia looks better than Portugal V Iceland but later on in the evening San Francisco 49ers V Tampa Bay Buccaneers appeals more.

Half Time sees Belgium 4 up v Azerbaijan with Lukaku scoring them all. Rather embarrassing for whoever sorts out the music as the Swedish National Anthem was played before the game instead of the Azerbaijani one.

Tell you what, Belgium might be a dark horse for the cup.

I’ve seen some stinkers among the England games I’ve attended over the years but that was easily one of the worst.

It seems Haaland's best hope of appearing in a major tournament rests on Yorkshire gaining independence.

Scunthorpe 2 v Darlo 0 - FA Trophy - another defeat but not as bad as Tuesday. We took until the 80th minute to have a shot. Suspect Scunny took thier foot off the gas in the second half.
More important are the 2 home games this week v Warrington & Rushall. 4 points needed from those games. 6 would be better!

Scotland have done well to qualify, but amidst all the media euphoria up here it seems to have been forgotten that they have failed to win any of their last 5 games!

Expect zilch, then anything more is a bonus! The Darlo v Rushall Olympic fixture, however, is a real "six pointer", even at this stage of the National League North season.
