*FIRST ROUND OF 32 POST*
South Africa v Canada is the World Cup's round of 32 match that has the longest straight-line sailing route between the two countries, at 12,071 km (7,500 miles).
BONUS FACT: It is also the round of 32 match that has the most latitude between the two countries' extremes.
Northern Canada is 83°04′ N, and southern South Africa is 34°50′ S. A difference of a whopping 117°54′, or 13,840 km (8,600 miles).

Dalglish leaving Liverpool stunned me at the time, although in hindsight what he had been through regarding Hillsborough left him mentally and physically exhausted. Wouldn’t put it past Stokes to hit the winning runs, but NZ big favourites.

#Onthisday in #WorldCup82 a momentous day for football for differing reasons. #WestGermany & #Austria played out the Disgrace of Gijon. In Valencia the Irish humbled the hosts

I often wonder what the fuck is wrong with society 👇
Heartfelt congratulations to the person who dug up the pitch at the Crown Hill Cricket Ground to prove their "success."
You succeeded in your mission.
Westcroft Cricket Club has, with great regret, been forced to withdraw from the league because it is no longer possible for other teams to play in this constant environment of vandalism.
You did not just damage a pitch; you stripped away the favorite sport, the joy, the friendships, and the healthy activities of over 80 children, youths, and adult players.
Congratulations on impacting an entire cricketing community.
Congratulations on undermining the hard work of volunteers who dedicate their time, money, and energy to promote the sport.
Congratulations on disappointing the parents who wanted to see their children engaged in positive activities.
Cricket is not just a game; it is a source of discipline, friendship, respect, and community cohesion.
It is tragic that someone’s negative mindset and destructive actions have washed away the happiness of so many people.
Hopefully, you are satisfied today knowing that a single action of yours has affected dozens of matches, hundreds of hours of hard work, and the happiness of countless individuals. But remember, grounds can be rebuilt, pitches can be prepared again, and the cricket community can bounce back stronger than ever.
Our full support and respect goes out to Westcroft Cricket Club, its players, volunteers, and supporters.
We hope this difficult time passes quickly and that the voices of children and youth will once again echo through the cricket ground.
A Call to the Community
We request all readers to strongly condemn this shameful act. The person who damaged the cricket ground and pitch did not just dig up soil—they attacked the happiness of dozens of children, youth, and athletes.
If you also believe that damaging sports fields, youth activities, and community hard work is unacceptable, then please raise your voice against this act.
Express your condemnation at least once, so a message goes out that our community will never accept such negative and destructive behavior.
Your single comment, a word, or even one voice can serve as proof of standing with this community.
Show solidarity with Westcroft Cricket Club, its 80+ players, and all its volunteers.
Sports stand for love, unity, and positive engagement. It is the responsibility of us all to discourage those who destroy them.
Westcroft Cricket Club.

Scotland v Morocco is the World Cup's only group-stage match where both sides' national animals are impossible to see in the wild.
Scotland's national animal is the mythical unicorn. Morocco's is the Barbary lion, which is now extinct in the wild.
Come on, Scotland! 🏴🏴🏴
Stay tuned for more cutting-edge, geography-based World Cup analysis.

They've met before......#Scotland faced #Morocco in the final group game of the 1998 #WorldCup but it was a game to forget for the Scots.
The highlight was pre-match as the #TartanArmy belted out the 'The Flower of Scotland' with Sir Rod swaying along side to side whilst John Collins makes love to the camera 😆🦁
