By the end of Trumps term he maybe so under water with republicans that they run against him. And this means running against his court.

Yes, disaster in the first game - last minute win against Morocco and then all we need is a draw or a win against Brazil in the last game.

There will be at least another three years, possibly with 12 months of strong anti Trump feeling (possibly from The Dems and GOP). Can the current set up of the court survive, or will both campaign in 28 on major reforms?

Okay. I’ve googled this and they have a good reason, that probably means they won’t be excluded.

Would a better argument be that Isreal isn’t in Europe? I know there are good reasons for it competing as a European nation in terms of football etc. and I know other nations have been invited in. But surely this is an easy way to say they are out?

It’s just a thought experiment to them. Then they seek evidence to prove their hypothesis - seek reassurance from SM they are right, and then slowly go insane.

We sat too deep and just let them throw crosses at us. Dante went up the pitch but tried to play a ball for (I think) Nisbet, when he could have gone to the corner.

Naive really.
