My work department has this old thing we inherited, we're not exactly sure what, that we decided looks somewhat like a minion and has become an unofficial mascot. This year Mrs. B did a cake representing its halloween transformation.

VAR intervened and gave this as a penalty in the Porto game this evening. Only way I can explain it is Portugal must have hired Gordon Watson as their VAR operator. Absolutely awful decision (although keeper to save the penalty).

First time I've been eligible to vote in an election in Canada, making it my first vote since UK general election in 1987. Held my nose and did my civic duty by voting strategically rather than who I'd ideally vote for. (even wore my Canada socks for the occasion)
