@cm9798 I’m wondering if it’s psychological by Panini. If you can’t easily be reminded how many stickers there are in the book, you’re less likely to question the sanity of trying to collect them all.

@Cardinal27 @FBAwayDays I was thinking the opposite. On the opening weekend the most sociable game times are Qatar v Switzerland and Germany v Curacao. Hardly gets the blood racing.

@bttsmatt @brucemillington I remember thinking the Euros would be rubbish in 2021 with so little jeopardy in the groups, but it ended up being engrossing from the start.

@Coo84_ff Those 5ams are brutal though. Flashbacks of MNF double headers…

[James Cooper @RealJamesCooper]

@Coo84_ff Is this actually a great squad? They have two Palace players in there 😆

A fortnight ago I attended the York City victory parade, and continued my World Cup sticker collecting journey!

@maxsbetclub I'd be shocked if the averages didn't shoot up in terms of goals per game, as we saw at the Club World Cup last summer. If you are convinced that there will be the same average goals per game you will be able to get some very good odds about that happening.

In part two of my series collecting Panini World Cup stickers, we manage to unearth some star names! #Panini #WorldCup2026

@neilroarty Didn’t they have to leave the stadium immediately for security reasons?

[James Cooper @RealJamesCooper]

@dklappin Where are you looking? 🤔

[James Cooper @RealJamesCooper]

@ben00n8 @BobbiHuyton Exactly. Who the hell wants Man City to win again?!

[James Cooper @RealJamesCooper]

I've decided to collect the Panini FIFA World Cup stickers for the first time since drunkenly buying packs at university for France '98. #Panini #WorldCup

@and_yt @nfluk_tickets The official site 😆

[James Cooper @RealJamesCooper]

@nfluk_tickets I’ve never had this in the past 3 or 4 years for Jags presales. Always been able to select a seat.

[James Cooper @RealJamesCooper]

@NoShimmer @nfluk_tickets Some of the Cat 7s are further back than the Cat 8s in the same block 😆

[James Cooper @RealJamesCooper]

@fabionyc @nfluk_tickets Yeah, waiting it out. The question is, how long do we wait? 😆

[James Cooper @RealJamesCooper]

@nfluk_tickets Feels like a big number given it’s only historic buyers!

[James Cooper @RealJamesCooper]

@stuco72 @nfluk_tickets Mine seemed to chuck me out and rejoined also. Maybe that was just the randomisation process. I got stuck back in at 8,700.

@SC92kfr @CllrNormanWork @Every1IsaGenius @Nomadicscotsman I'd still argue that it's impossible to tell from that image. From the only angle the ref appears to have made his decision from, it's impossible to say whether it hit his hand or not. Plus the reason his arm is in that position is the Celtic player knocking his arm that way!
