A South American double for this round, and 4 winners all for one game... Game 67 had a 21st-minute first goal, and the winning picks... 3 points! @Toinho bags 3 more points and he's on a roll! @Faithcore with 2 points for 22nd minute, and @nudge on 23rd minute gets 1 point. Game 68 had a 63rd-minute first and solitary goal, but no winners. Table after Game 68 New leader! @6666 rises to the summit with his latest and 2nd Exact score. @Toinho also rises up to 4th from 9th with a 2nd Exact, whilst @nudge moves on to 11th but stays in 5th. She now has @Faithcore for company on the same amount of points.

I know it's for the PM to decide. Was just wondering when everyone thinks he'll do it.

When does everyone think a general election will be called? Has to be done before January 2025, but I doubt it'll be left as late as that. Perhaps May 2024, or later in autumn perhaps Sept time?

I am not surprised in the slightest that this government carried out shady dealings and were attracted by money like a fly on shit.

What's all this stuff about UK government being involved with PIF in order to sort the Newcastle takeover? Even though government said they had no hand in it...

They'll be fine. Luton, Burnley and Sheff Utd are all worse off. I'll actually be surprised if they don't survive even with the points deduction in place. Last season should have been the season they dropped.

Had a quality World Cup but yesterday was annoying for me when Aus were batting. At that time you'd want someone to really psyche up the players and keep the momentum (after first 10 overs) going. But when Head/Labuschagne started to get settled, his body language was absolutely pathetic. It's like he knew the game was lost and gave up trying to influence it or get the momentum back. He looked bored and uninterested.

Game 65's first goal came in the 36th minute, but no-one close enough to bag points. Game 66 on the other hand had a few successful picks after a 21st-minute first goal: 2 points @Toinho grabs 3 more points with an exact 21st-minute pick @Faithcore gets 2 points for a 22nd-minute pick, while @nudge gets another point for her 23rd-minute choice. Table after Game 66: Lots of change as @nudge and @Lucas go up to 5th and 6th respectively and now both on 10 points. @Faithcore and @Toinho were big movers as they head up to 8th and 9th respectively, with the latter getting his first exact score of the season.

We probably wouldn't have been as dominant but what have we done to adjust things in our favour? Genuinely curious. The pitch thing before the semi final didn't give us any advantage. Sometimes it comes down to the toss and winning or losing it so that conditions favour a specific side. Like today, Aus won the toss, made the right call and played their best game to win, deservedly. I think to say it's only been conditions that favours us (not saying it's not had a hand, but I think it's being exaggerated) is quite a slap in the face to any players that were talented and professional enough to rack up runs or wickets.

Australia have been very good, deserved the win. That turn around from those first two losses is impressive.

By winning games ?

Gutted to lose this. Not good enough under tough conditions.

Very sad

Good thing about both teams. They know when to reign the other team in and momentum swings back and forth. Kohli and Rahul just need to consolidate for a bit and get settled before pushing on again.

Would love to be in the stadium right now

Fail.

IDF making shit up

I'm a million percent ready for no Mansfield goals given Clough's celebration comments, despite their very good form...

10 point deduction for Everton.

Mad revelations released last night in a lawsuit that Cassie has taken out against him. Serious sexual assault and abuse over period of years. Much more recent as well. Some of the detail is quite horrific as to what he may have put her through.
