I’m not able to make it out to tonight’s games but everyone be sure to give Raz a rousing good by for his last outing with the club.

Lima hoping Shashoua goes off eventually and Raz gets the armband.

Your starting XI

[Timothy Belin @TimothyBelin_]

@zo_demalia Yes, definitely wait until the transfer window closes (Sept. 1) and for the club to officially announce squad numbers as some might change.

If you do want one before, new signings (Senesi, Robertson and Van Hecke) who had their number confirmed are safe to go for.

@zo_demalia If you want a reliable news source, @AlasdairGold is a top Tottenham reporter who also does weekly (sometimes more) YouTube vids on everything going on at the club

Canada - Qatar going to a hydration break 10 minutes after play was stopped for more than five minutes due to injury just further shows “hydration breaks” have nothing to do with player welfare.

lol FIFA temporarily had my account blocked and removed a video I took in the stadium because of “copyrighted material”

I can now say I’ve seen my country win a World Cup game in person. Pretty great day.

Birmingham Legion were minutes away from only their third win of the season in Oakland.

However, a late equalising goal ensured the points were shared on the West Coast.

Recap for @BirminghamSport

[Timothy Belin @TimothyBelin_]

Got confirmation from Jay Heaps that Ramiz Hamouda will be back for Saturday’s home game v Loudoun. However, that will be his last outing with the Three Sparks.

If you want to thank him or wish him well in Germany, make sure to come out at 7pm Saturday at Protective Stadium.

[Timothy Belin @TimothyBelin_]

@EBRINDLEY Absolutely. Before the game starts you take that in a heartbeat, only tough because of the timing of the equaliser.

[Timothy Belin @TimothyBelin_]

FINAL: Oakland 1-1 Birmingham Legion

Probably a fair result, but one that will sting for the Three Sparks, who led in the first half against the run of play and maintained that lead until second-half stoppage time.

Sam McIllhatton getting interviewed by the Australian press that are in Oakland for the World Cup.

[Timothy Belin @TimothyBelin_]

90+ Massive save late-on from the Oakland keeper as Tregarthen ran through with Damus unmarked in the middle.

1-1

[Timothy Belin @TimothyBelin_]

90+ Great build-up undone by an Amir Daley slip. That was probably Legion’s one chance to get back on top.

1-1

[Timothy Belin @TimothyBelin_]

90+ Goal Oakland

You could probably say it’s deserved, but Birmingham will be gutted to lose their lead so late in the game.

1-1

[Timothy Belin @TimothyBelin_]

As we enter six minutes of stoppage time, here’s some insight into Oakland’s penalty preparation of Legion.

Joke’s on them, two of those four weren’t even in the squad today.

[Timothy Belin @TimothyBelin_]

90’ Ronaldo Damus is down off the ball as we enter stoppage time. No more subs left for the Three Sparks, so hopefully it’s just a cramp

[Timothy Belin @TimothyBelin_]

89’ Serge Ngoma picks up a yellow for kicking the ball away. The ref putting him in the book provides a significantly longer delay than what he was doing.

0-1

[Timothy Belin @TimothyBelin_]

88’ Diarbian cross for Damus blocked.

Legion putting on some pressure here late in the game.

0-1
