Fun #FRAVENG fact for #mastodaoine
The English scrum-half Charlie Bracken is the son of Kyran, who was born in Dublin, but chose to win a World Cup and 51 caps with England instead 🙄
Not been watching the World Cup this year, but I read about yesterday's match. As an Irish Spurs fan, let's just say I'm deeply conflicted about Harry Kane's penalty miss.
Apologies to my English friends, but England winning the tournament would have made the English media completely insufferable for about 15 years, so I can't say I'm sorry they lost.
But I have a lot of affection for Harry Kane, so I am upset about the manner in which they lost.

Some genuine heartbreak, some OTT self pity.
That said, the outpouring of English grief following defeat against France may be embedded in a false expectation that winning the World Cup would have been some sort of global retribution - and one in the eye - for a world that now considers England as a political and cultural laughing stock.

Play well France. Maybe one day soon we won't have to count our visits to mainland Europe to 90 in every180 days. Vive la France! #fraveng #WorldCup2022 #ScottishIndependence

Had intended to watch #ENGvFRA #FRAvENG with a French pal I’ve made in #psychiatric #clinic in #France (where I’ve lived and worked since 2008). But my pal who I share a table with in the #refectory (#cookhouse in old money!) is down with Covid. Confined to his room. Although testing negative I’m on ‘light confinement’: meals in room. Avoid proximity. #PPE. Want 🏴 to win obvs. Had wanted 🇫🇷 to go on & win if 🏴 lost. But now The #Moroccan Conundrum. Great if an African nation won. #PTSD

Second half is kicked off and the rain has started back up, 15 knock-ons in the first half, more to come I'm sure. #FRAvENG

🇫🇷 🏴 #FRAvENG Match Thread
A new era begins for #France in Paris on Sunday as Fabien Galthié and Shaun Edwards take charge for Le Crunch.
It's an incredibly young, rebooted squad, all in prep for RWC 2023, so today should be interesting. Both teams are fielding debutante fullbacks.
England has a few changes, but nothing eye popping given their RWC outing.
This is the first match for England post-Brexit, so here's hoping the French fans have plenty to say about that debacle.
