It's all they've got, the sad bastards. Just humour the fornicators.
Fair play to him
England beat Japan 5-4 on penalties to reach the quarter-finals of the Under-17 World Cup in India.
The game was goalless after 90 minutes but England kept their heads in the shootout, with goalkeeper Curtis Anderson saving Japan's penultimate spot-kick before scoring his own.
Crystal Palace's 17-year-old midfielder Nya Kirby then netted the decisive spot-kick to send England through.
Steve Cooper's side now face the United States in Goa on Saturday.
England, who were without midfielder Jadon Sancho who returned to Borussia Dortmund when the German club called him back after the group stages, played in front of 53,000 people in Kolkata on Tuesday.
Sancho scored three times as England advanced to the knockout stage with a 100% record.
Here is the BBC match report of England U-17's win over japan in the World Cup.:
Three players are singled out for mention by name in this report. For two of them the club they play for is specifically identified: the third is not. See if you can guess (a) who the third one plays for and (b) why his team is not mentioned.
I wouldn't get too upset, City's own website doesn't even know what he looks like.............

It's not the fact that he was name checked, its the fact that the club he plays for wasn't - in contrast to the parent clubs of the other two players who were name checked. There was a conscious decision not to name the club the goalkeeper (whose save contributed hugely to winning the penalty shoot-out) plays for. You don't need to be a genius to work out why.I hate the BBC. But is there anything in that report whats biased?
The goalie got mentioned as he saved a penalty and scored one. The winning penalty taker got some credit. And they namechecked Sancho as he didn't play.

If you disagree, find me a report of any England game at any level at any point in the last 10 years in which a Manchester United player is singled out for special mention for a positive contribution but Manchester United is not directly named as the club he plays for.
Pressed the red button on BBC this morning to read what they thought about our game last night. Nothing. No mention at all. It's like the match hadn't taken place.
