    Nope, that's his name. He's an English winger from the 70s.

    I still swear that the Sex Pistols 'I Wanna Be Me' refers to looking for Brian Hill. Listen to 0.34 - 0.38 and tell me different...

    "Tell me why you can't explain you're only looking for Brian Hill"? Sounds pretty clear to me! <laugh>

    Some great news from the Olympics: Tomiyasu missed Japan's first game against South Africa with an ankle injury he picked up in training and is touch and go for their second match with Mexico

    For the player in white ??
    Absolutely (no place in the game for such poor displays of diving) .

    Nope. I think that there's a slight, accidental clip from the knee, but it's hard to call that a foul, for me.

    If that was a dive he has no business playing football professionally. He was in on goal and so there must have been a touch. Not deliberate though, unless the defender is a very sly sod

    Somewhere an architect is quietly pissing himself, both in laughter and fear.

    Better to have a stadium that looks like a **** than have one that's full of them...

    Brian Hill just got Spain a penalty in the Olympics.
    It's 2-2 in extra-time against the Ivory Coast and his corner was handled by Eric Bailly.
    Decent delivery, but that's really stupid defending. Oyarzabal puts it away calmly. 3-2.

    Edit: Spain didn't sit back and try to defend their lead and it worked out well for them.
    Rafa Mir, who is on Wolves' books, bagged a couple more to complete his hat-trick and make it 5-2.
    They'll now face the winner of Japan v New Zealand, which is currently 0-0 late on.
    That match is on the 3rd, which is Tuesday.

    For those itching to ask, Tomiyasu was back in the Japan team for their last group stage match, a 4-0 win over France

    He was booked after 22 minutes...

    Japan beat Australia on penalties, following a 0-0 draw.
    That means that we now face the prospect of Tomiyasu v Gil in the semi-final, though it's doubtful that they'll both start.

    They both missed the semi-final, which Japan eventually lost in injury time.
    Tomiyasu was suspended after picking up two yellows. No idea why Gil wasn't in the squad. Fitness?
    Spain will now face Brazil, who knocked out Mexico on penalties.
