I think it's safe to assume a Lioness sweep in SPOTY, Team of the Year, Coach of the Year and anything else they might be available for. The England cricket teams deserve as much credit for their success in both Tests and T20s, but the Euros coverage and reaction was far more notable. Given that Sky Brown won Young SPOTY last year I'm guessing she'll win it this year as well, and potentially every year until she's not eligible (which could be a while).

Or Souness, who I am assuming is sat in a Qatar airport right now still explaining to anyone who will listen how the ball was definitely out of play for Japan's second goal against Spain. He saw it with his eyes, you know.

Hey, Infantino: Fuck off.

Funny how these awards are going to the players who are at the stadium.

Superb refereeing in the game, probably helped make it as good as it was.

I've just been playing with the settings of my TV thinking there was something wrong, turns out they've just turned the stadium lights down.

I think every single penalty went to the keeper's right, even the ones down the middle.

The referee is literally stopping Martinez going anywhere near the ball

Martinez is the ultimate shithousery shoot-out goalkeeper.

Same spot as the other two, so close to being saved. I want the nerves that run through Messi's body to replace my freezer.

Martinez looks completely lost whenever he gets a chance. I suppose maybe he knew he was offside on that one. WHAT A SAVE. MARTINEZ AGAIN. THE OTHER ONE. THE BAD ONE.

I love penalty shoot-outs, but I want this to go on to a second extra time please.

Holy shit. The most under-stated extra time World Cup final penalty in history.

THIS IS INSANE. I'm sure there's an offside in there... THERE ISN'T.

Definition of a block being as important as a goal there. Martinez's horror world cup continues...

Great save, even if it was right down the middle.

I'm going to make a hot take that Mbappe might be taking home the golden boot.

Well there we go.

So close to me posting a picture of Harry Kane laughing.

Otamendi getting out-paced and making a clumsy mistake. Always a chance of it happening.

Damn, double change before half time. Deschamps ain't messing around.

Oh my what a move. This is only going one way.

Who else but Quagmire Messi?

Di Maria showing his right foot is as useful as ever.

It's the most pointless game in football. The teams don't care. The fans of the teams don't care. The winner doesn't win anything. Both sets of players put 90 extra minutes on their legs after already playing 5 games in the tournament. Hopefully the extra games in 2026 will see it done away with.
