Qatar tops out at just 103m. Switzerland bottoms out at Lake Maggiore, ~193m.

Canada v Bosnia & Herz. is the World Cup's only group-stage match where each country creates a break in another country's continuous land access.
For the USA, Canada separates Northwest Angle from Minnesota, and Bosnia splits the southern tip of Croatia from the main country.

Happy #FingerpostFriday. An excellent footpath running through Warehorne vineyard in Kent. They are doing very interesting things with their red wine thanks to the cunning use of a 🇨🇭 grape variety 🍷

Seven in ten people describe the current economic situation as “bad.” This economic anxiety is profoundly reshaping consumer behavior, especially in the grocery aisle as 58% now report paying more attention to the per-unit cost vs total cost of food items.

If the Football Association want to do something useful, they might consider inviting Omar Artan, the Somali referee refused entry to the US for the World Cup after an 11-hour interrogation, to officiate at next May’s FA Cup Final.

Statement from Omar Artan is far more graceful and reserved than FIFA deserves. It is a stain on this tournament that one of Africa's top officials can be blocked from the biggest month of his career.
