Iโ€™m old enough to remember when Sarina Wiegman did this in 2022 and 2023.

A fantastic dayโ€™s cricket at @SomersetCCC. Impossible to pick a player of the match as a great team performance against a very good Essex side who are likely to be fighting for title in September โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ

As a Newcastle fan I recognise this is probably good for us. But itโ€™s an awful decision for English football. Give me a FA Cup replay under the lights with a David v Goliath story over any European tie. To dress it up as good for the competition and smaller clubs is a joke.
The FA and The @premierleague have reached an agreement to strengthen the #EmiratesFACup format and increase support for grassroots football. Swipe for details โžก๏ธ

Make no mistake we were battered and Liverpool should have won by 4+ goals but this is ludicrous. For both penalties the slightest of contact has seen players throw themselves to the ground seconds later - VAR needs to help refs. Or is any contact now an automatic foul? #LIVNEW
HOW ON EARTH HAS ANTHONY TAYLOR GIVEN THAT๐Ÿ˜ฑ Biggest dive youโ€™ll see all season๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Sympathetic to groundstaff as conditions were horrendous. But in 2023 when radar is predicting heavy rain is imminent - and it was clear to everyone at the ground it was about to rain - why leave it so late to cover key areas of pitch when players were taking drinks? #ENGvIRE
Rain stops play! โ˜” A storm has arrived in Bristol and the players are off!

Still @englandcricket were very good for 31 overs and enjoyable to spend a few hours watching it with my Dad. Just wish we could have seen more. Right decision to abandon it rather than make fans wait for hours unnecessarily.

โŒ TAA shouldโ€™ve got sent off (but was fouled before 1st yellow) โœ… Van Dijk red card โŒ Should never have subbed Tonali /Gordon (MOM for first 70min) Bad result for #NUFC. Looked better 11v11 than 11v10. Not sure either makes top 4. Liverpool win papers over weaknesses #NEWLIV

Amazing end to an amazing campaign. Twice seen losing SFs so gutted to miss today but happy to sacrifice that for a win. Hard to split between Dickson and Henry for MOM.

Note of caution RE #MOTD. The last time it was cancelled by @BBC (due to COVID) they replaced it with Mrs Brownโ€™s Boys.
