Sorry for Daily Mail screenshot but this amused me - apparently this is disrespectful. I mean, it's Bacchus, the god of getting pissed and shagging. This is clearly exactly how to respect Bacchus.

Interesting Stat - this is the first England game where an opposition manager has made a substitution before Gareth Southgate in his 100 games.

@maxrushden They weren't good but neither was anyone else, so generally I'd lean towards keeping on the players that you know can conjure goals

@maxrushden @guardian_sport @NickyBandini @GeorgeElek @bglendenning Might be too late Max but I've been doing PERMUTATIONS. I think Croatia can still go through if: - Turkey beat Czechia - Portugal beat Georgia - Denmark beat Serbia - England beat Slovenia 3-0 OR by four clear goals What makes me think the last criterion will be the hardest...

This has always puzzled me in the difference between Germany and the UK. You see a lot more people drinking in public in Germany, but you see a lot more people *drunk* in public in the UK. How does that happen!? 😆

The difference between German & British culture: UK - if I go to my child's school concert and drink multiple beers, the teachers think I have a problem. Germany - if I don't bring cash to my child's school concert, I can't buy the beers sold by teachers, which is a problem.

@giulio_mattioli I'm just speculating. But now I live abroad I can see how shocking it is. My small hometown late on a Friday is carnage every single week, the like of which I haven't even seen in Italy when they've won at football...

@LovableJim Yeah good point it's probably more spatially concentrated and therefore visible as well

@giulio_mattioli ... Drinkers end up in locations and time periods with like-minded people where drinking is the sole activity and objective, then at the end of that period get turned out onto the street.

@giulio_mattioli In terms of venue, though... I feel like British authorities' responses to problems with alcohol have been successive attempts to limit where/how/when you can drink, which just results in a sort of kettling....
