Do you think the powers that be at Barcelona watched the Gordon-Rashford substitution and thought, huh?

Did we get the right guy?

Thomas Tuchel, by the way, incidentally, was very irritated if people didn't see the video.

He was seemingly very keen to watch his boys sing the national anthem.

And there was a wall of photographers in front of him.

And he, at the time, was visibly saying, guys, too close.

And tried to walk around them, couldn't really.

And then the anthem started.

So he walked back and put his hands around the English backroom team all lined up.

But afterwards, he even brought it up.

It kind of ruined what he thought was going to be a special moment.

Roberto Martinez is in a sticky situation.

You obviously know what the sticky situation is.

It's been going on for several major tournaments now, but Cristiano Ronaldo is every bit as cumbersome as feared.

We've sort of seen clips of him playing in Saudi looking old and he looks particularly old.

But obviously he wasn't substituted in the game against Congo, Democratic Republic of Congo.

They drew 1-0.

Roundly criticised.

Ronaldo now, interestingly, World Cup major tournament games and Euros major tournament games has not scored in 10 in a row.

That's a heavy statistic for your immobile goal scoring number nine.
