Belgium Tin Tin inspired kit, celebrating their glorious past.. hmm quite
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tintin_in_the_Congo
In the late 20th century, Tintin in the Congo became increasingly controversial for both its racist colonial attitude toward Congolese people and for its glorification of big-game hunting. Accordingly, attempts were made in Belgium, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States to either ban the work or restrict its availability to children. Critical reception of the work has been largely negative, with commentators on The Adventures of Tintin describing it as one of Hergé's lesser works.

That’s just not true though is it.

Cutting holes in your socks. Firstly - wtf.
It's a power game to say that you've got bigger calves. The implication is that people who don't do it don't have big enough calves to warrant doing it.
A pair of socks that was designed to accommodate larger calves wouldn't catch on as you'd be seen to be a weakling by not having the holes.
Once the trend had started it catches on amongst the footballers who are sucker for things like that.

Did I hear right - this is the first match the bosnia manager has ever managed?
Caveat Wikipedia, yes.

The laws of the game require players to wear shinpads but there's nothing in the laws about the size, so the players that hate playing in shinpads wear the smallest ones they can get away with (any smaller and a ref might say they aren't "shinpads").
They're a bit of an anathema nowadays. Back in the old days of football boots were thick and players less skilful, so the most likely injury was someone trying to kick the ball, missing, and kicking your shins. Your foot being stamped on was less of a problem given the protection the older boots gave.
Nowadays the players are more skilful and less likely to boot you in the middle of the shin. You'll see many more injuries on the back of the legs/ankles (the Achilles heel protectors are more common but not easy visible). The boots are now also paper thin in comparison, so even the mildest contact of another players boot/studs/moulds on the top of the foot is very painful (and shinpads do nothing for this).

From my seat on the sofa Camavinga was great.
When Ally McCoist said at 70 minutes “time to bring on Modric” I thought “why? They’re doing alright”
