The 'snicko' goal! Ball technology means Sweden goal is given.
Sweden's fourth goal against Tunisia saw the use of waveform technology similar to that of cricket's Snickometer. A piece explaining the technology, how it works and why Mattias Svanberg's goal was correctly awarded. bbc.co.uk/sport/football/art…

The Winning Lotto Ball on Saturday June 13th is ball 44 owned by Colin Sutcliffe.
To clarify on the new draw system it is the bonus ball on Round 1 (First draw of the two) that is the one we will use for our Saturday Lotto Draws.

Look at the amount of detail they use to include about the ref in the matchday programme. Just missing Mr Borrett's inside leg measurement and house number! 😂

Ongoing France vs Ivory Coast friendly. Kessié body-checked the referee thinking he was an opponent and sent his teeth into orbit. Lol 😂
