Rooney in the studio said he lost 7kg in a WC game in the heat. But he didn’t say he ate 3 KFC buckets before the game so actually he broke even on the day.

So the question now turns to - will Brendon start tonight for US? (I'm assuming not, but be nice if he gets some minutes).

No clue, I can tune out some commentators. It's Americans commentating on "soccer" that does my head in. As bad as an English voice on an NFL commentary

Well, that is the very FIRST point that Canada has ever earned in World Cup play. I think they could have won the game. But Bosnia played some ferocious defense and got a bit lucky as well. On balance this is a good result for Canada. Something to build upon. They play their next two games in Vancouver and I think the atmosphere will be electric!! Happy for our friends to the North. :tup: 8-)

Smoked Back Bacon, lightly toasted bread or roll or brioche or whatever, margarine or butter and lots of marmalade. The marmalade cuts through the saltiness of the bacon beautifully. (In fact I butter the bread then fry it for a minute in the bacon juices, but that might just work for gluten free bread products as they can be a bit like cardboard when toasted or they fall apart if left as bread)

That's a bacon sandwich

Totally agree, Malcolm.

I'm sick of watching footballers making a meal of taking a throw-in, which is a simple action.

Well thank you neighbour. Even though you told me to f**k off, I still appreciate the sentiment. 8-)
Yes BC Place will be a cauldron. Its quite a big stadium and very noisy when full. They should beat Qatar, but Switzerland could be too much for them. But advancing from the group would be amazing for the game in the country.
You do have to give credit where its due. Jesse has brought this squad together and the fans too.
