Four-nil to In-ger-lund. Next, North Macedonia at Old Trafford on Monday.

Is this some sort of competition, Mr. L? Or minnow practice for Our Battling Boys?

The Colemantator just talked about this massive England win.

That’s a bit premature, there’s still 6 mins to go.

Mr Larrington · « **Reply #866 on:** 19 June, 2023, 09:39:10 pm »

England 7 - 0 North Macedonia

Next qualifier September 9th against Ukraine at a location TBA.

WTF? Coming to Scotland and being surprised there is precipitation?

In discussion with a student we googled how much English league 2 (that's the third division) players make. On average £2.5k

Cudzoziemiec · « **Reply #869 on:** 22 June, 2023, 10:24:11 am »

League 2 is the fourth tier.

Peter · « **Reply #870 on:** 22 June, 2023, 10:43:08 am »

There are an increasing number of clubs in the lower divisions where players stand a good chance of not getting paid at all. It's presumably cheaper for the owners just to lose the points.

Right now there is a guy trying to break the round-mainland britain kayaking record.

The record is 67 days.

He's weeks ahead of schedule.

Absolute monstering it. He's been averaging about 100km a day.

Self-supported, carrying full camping kit.

He's still going strong, but has lost the tailwinds. Still managing 50-100km per day.

At this rate, he'll finish in 50 days - taking more than 2 weeks off the record.

Totally incredible performance.

He's punching headwinds now, and physically suffering. Back and hip pain (they take a real hammering in protracted paddling).

His hands look like sunburnt ulcerated meat.

Fingers crossed very hard that he can keep going for a bit longer.

If he sustains his pace, he'll finish under 50 days.

If the weather gods are kind, he will finish around 40days.

Truly incredible performance so far.

My guilty pleasure today is being at the Royal Albert Hall for Giants Live. Having watched Worlds Strongest Man since about 1976 it is comforting to watch 4 grown men struggling to lift a Superyoke into place
