Any chance you could confirm what it stands for and the sport most commonly using the phrase? (I'm guessing might be American football?)

Whilst it's easy to say they should've pressed for a second, Argentina really upped their tempo in general after going 1 down. It makes sense initially that England dropped back a bit like JCPhoenix says to try and ride that out they instead ended up dropping deeper allowing Argentina to control the game.

Slystuff Link ParentSemi final form for the two teams went in Spain's favor two years ago, so they'll be hoping to repeat that. France will obviously be wanting to correct that and reach their third consecutive final.Semi final form for the two teams went in Spain's favor two years ago, so they'll be hoping to repeat that.

I think they updated it for France 98 to be a bit more World Cup.
As much as it gets over done, I don't think even winning either the world cup or euros will stop chants of "it's coming home" each time they roll around.
Personally for England football songs I'm more partial to Vindaloo...

Locally for me a combination of pub closures and increasing population has really caused pub density to plummet compared to where it would have been 10 years ago.

Not too much to say really, found it enjoyable, puzzles found a sweet spot that for a couple I had to give them some thought, but not to the point of frustration.
The books that make up the different levels worked well for, with their own little twists on what each of them are based on.All in all, enjoyable game that didn't overstay it's welcome.

As we now see the bigger "shock" increase for the end product, compared to smaller more frequent increases.
Sadly I think may mean in future that companies will be faster to pass these increases on again in future, compared to absorbing short term ones like they have in the past.
So this is a bit weird, but I recognise one of the set locations that's featured in the trailer. Happens to be the now drained pool in a well known leisure centre. There was a reasonable about of fuss about Apple filming something there at the time.
