Al-Hilal penalty award overturned in the 1st half, and further attempts booked for diving in the 2nd. Bet that didn't go down too well in Riyadh, there's a ref who won't be officiating any World Cup games any time soon.

We sure we are all talking about the same Soumano? All mention of Brentford interest (and apparent 3M bid) for Mousa Soumaso back in April originates from just one article from "AfricaFoot" - however Brentford are also linked with 2.5M-rated Sambou Soumano of recently promoted Lorient, which seems more plausible. What's the chances they picked up on the wrong gossip?

True, opportunity missed. Or they could've had us down for a shock reunion with an unsettled McInnes to replace [insert English Championship club]-bound Thelin. Clearly not trying.

Pretty sure there would have been "Miovski to..." stories lined up in case we had drawn Celtic or Sevco as our opening game rather than Hearts. A Hearts-Hibs derby on the first day would be "Hibs considering Shankland", and so on... Bait and click.

Unlike Inter Miami, who are basically Messi's +10 on the guestlist

Interesting read - feels a little Pape Gueye MkII https://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/football/portsmouth-fc/portsmouth-fc-news-kusini-yengi-australia-transfer-5127783

Ambrose would've saved that. 1-3 Iceland

Sub keeper is having a nightmare. 1-2 Iceland

Depends who's better at dealing with penalties, I guess

Thats...mental. Surely they should be delighted he managed to bag them all that lovely Champions league money without the usual faff of having to win all those tedious league games?
