    there is not a good chance ukraine qualify @Doubleme

    italy are huge favourites to qualify, they only need a draw.

    as to your comment on belarus vs ukraine, yes while it would be an interesting game; in the past russia and ukraine weren't allowed in the same groups as eachother such as EURO 2021 so likely belarus vs ukraine would be prohibited by UEFA.

    The "Arsene Wenger offside rule" is expected to be implemented in 2024-25.
    If the offensive player's body "completely" passes the last defender; offside. However, if a "small part" of the attacker's body is forward, he will not be considered offside.

    Just get rid of offside, it might make the game more interesting.

    Sky may reduce crowd noise to silence Everton f-word protest.

    Fans inside Goodison Park are planning to chant ‘Premier League corrupt as f***’ in the tenth minute of their match against Manchester United on Sunday.

    Sky Sports will take steps to prevent offensive language from a planned protest by Everton fans being clearly audible during the live TV match against Manchester United on Sunday. To comply with Ofcom’s rules, the broadcaster may turn down crowd noise, or take other steps to lessen the clarity of the audio from Goodison Park.

    Organisers of the protest against Everton’s ten-point deduction for breaching the Premier League’s financial rules are calling on all fans inside Goodison Park to chant “Premier League corrupt as f***” in the tenth minute of the game.

    The broadcast regulator Ofcom’s regulations state that broadcasters should avoid televising material that could cause offence to viewers, and as the kick-off time is 4.30pm there are concerns that families and children will be watching in large numbers.

    Sky Sports has had an internal meeting about the issue, and insiders said it took its responsibility to protect its viewers seriously and would look to mitigate any offensive language being heard on air. Any action by the broadcaster would be to ensure it is following Ofcom’s regulations rather than to take a position on a protest.

    In the past, broadcasters in such circumstances have reduced the volume of sound from the crowd and even introduced pre-recorded crowd noise. It is understood Sky do not intend to use fake noise on Sunday.

    An Everton fans group, the 1878s, has raised more than £40,000 from a crowdfunding campaign to fund protests and said it planned to hire a plane with a banner to fly over the Manchester City v Liverpool match at Saturday lunchtime, as it will be dark when the Everton v Manchester United match is played.

    There will also be 38,000 pink cards, with the Premier League logo and the word “corrupt” on them, distributed to Everton fans from the proceeds of the funding campaign. Manchester United supporters have been in touch with the group and 3,000 will be made available to them on Sunday.

    The thing is, and I have no horse in the race, until Man City, Chelsea and others get hammered with relegations and the like then the Premier League is corrupt as f**k

    Never a pen in a million years, but to be fair, Newcastle were very lucky to get the draw, their goal led a charmed life & a 4-1 loss would not have been unreasonable.

    PSG xG was 4.7, Newcastle's was 1.48xG
