Semi scores the equaliser and is generally perceived to be MoM for Nigeria against Lesotho

Reads like Semi was the Daddy  8) .

Wales got robbed another awful ref three penalties two looked certain not given, the one for Turkey was similar to Rico Lewis if not a dive, VAR didn't look at any of them, a Win wouldn't have helped Wales anyway who have to go through the Play Offs

Saw this commentary compilation from the Scotland v Brazil game in the West Germany World Cup of 1974 earlier. Just thought I'd share it as the Scottish commentator is so hilariously biased  ;D .....

Great news for San Marino with their win first win in 20 years vs Liechtenstein plus similarly ranked Anguilla's first win in 14 years, not to miss also Iceland getting their first nations league victory (meaning every European nation now has a Nations league victory), the best story for me from the international break is American Samoa.

American Samoa beat the Cook Islands 2 days ago to register their first win in 9 years. Most famous for losing 31-0 vs Australia, goal keeper Nicky Salapu was the only senior player playing that day due to elligbility issues on the eve of the game. 23 years later, a 43 year old Salapu played in this weeks win.

On the subject of American Samoa, i recommend, to anyone, watching the 2023 film 'Next Goal Wins'. It begins after that 31-0 loss if i recall and is centered around their team being taken over.  There's also a documentary about them by the same name.

Brilliant redemption story.
