    I have so many student emails explaining that ‘they might have Covid and need the morning to go see a doctor’ that I may as well cancel my classes today.

          That's what they get for not being French or German or Dutch.

          Except today, they are more German than either of the other 2.

            It's sort of funny how all this stuff now comes out. I know SFA about the game but I wouldn't have expected us to beat either Euro nation and no idea about Tunisia. According to the maths we were going to finish bottom of our pool...

            I take no particular joy in it beyond qualifying. We're $14 to beat Argentina so we're essentially fucked.

                Ze Germans are crying foul over Japans goal as the ball appeared out but the ball must be 100% over the line and I think there is a smidge on the line

                  i would have said that was a mile out, apparently the whole sphere of the ball needs to cross the line, not just at ground level though....

                      and just like that after failing to deter USA from joining the party of 16, the last remaining European Axis power was scuppered and Japan goes it alone..

                        A fun fact from ESPN: Japan scored 4 goals in the group stage (by 3 different players). They all play in Germany.

                                    Yeah. I didn’t know but I dont follow wendyball.
                                    Usually if a rule looks stupid it is.
                                    Can a ball cross “the plane of touch” in the air and come back into play (like a curving kick)?
                                    If the whole ball must cross the line for a goal the this instance look like play on to me.

                                        They couldn't hit the side of a barn. Lukaku was extremely wasteful. How many chances does a pro footballer need?

                                          One of students tried that this morning, ‘I know I’m late to your class but part of my body was inside the University at the start of class, so I’ m not really late’.

                                          That earned a fantastic reception from the class.
                                          I laughed.
                                          Then marked the little fluffybunny late.
