Iceland did beat England once.

In a similar vein, the Faroe Islands (pop. 55,000) beat the Czech Republic and are now poised to make the World Cup playoffs. Which is astounding.

And iceland equalizes…wow…

He merited a call-up to the main squad last summer, but got kicked to the Olympic squad instead (along with Michael Olise). He got a silver medal out of it, and scored 4 goals in the tournament, including France’s last-minute equalizer in the final to take it to extra time.

England destroying Latvia, 3-0 up at halftime. Assuming no drama, that’s the ticket booked to North America next summer.

They might come to regret that.

The EPL is back, baby! Full slate of matches tomorrow, with a top-of-the-table clash happening between Palace and Bournemouth. In recent matches, this has been a notoriously low-scoring fixture, so we should not be expecting fireworks.

This starts an insane run for Palace of 6 games in 18 days. In fact, starting next Thursday, we play 4 games in 9 days, involving a European tie, and trips to Arsenal and Liverpool.

Story of the first half:

Bournemouth - two scrappy chances, scored
Palace - two (arguably three) nailed on chances, missed

Bournemouth look better than Liverpool, and Semenyo is a cheat code.

Wow! Somehow in this game Mateta is both the GOAT and the goat.

Bad Wow. He puts that in the net 999 out of 1000 times
