    I dunno. Is England capable of putting together that many wins?

      Of course!

      As Alan Shearer said:

      "This World Cup is only just getting started, but England are where we want them to be - comfortably into the last 16, and the only problems Gareth Southgate has right now are good ones ...

      We looked lively in the forward positions and our midfield was strong, plus the defence did whatever was asked of them - the same as in each of our three games in Group B.

      The team are full of belief, which is great to see, and we look like we are in a good place in every way.

      I am happy with what I've seen - and excited about what is to come."

      Congratulations on yesterday's result.

      USA is undoubtedly capable of putting together that many draws. It is entirely possible that the world will be lulled to sleep and awake on Dec 18th to find team USA in the final.

      Alan Shearer surely never saw the draw against the Yanks. (That sounds rather verbise for Shearer...I'm thinking that somebody scripted it for him.)

    How low can the C of E establishment go:
    https://www.israeltoday.co.il/read/good-news-of-great-joy/
    “Just as the Advent season (celebrating the coming of Christ) got underway, news came of the Church of England advising parishes to consider rescheduling carol services in order to avoid a clash, as someone put it, between the Three Lions and the Three Kings – assuming England will get that far.”

    Yes, Jack saw that on the Church Support Hub:

    "On the 18th December, Churches often hold Carol Services in the afternoon or evening, and this could still be possible if you choose the time carefully…but what if there are penalties?! It may be best to avoid that day altogether and host a carol service on Saturday 17th instead."

    If the target audience for carol services is the unchurched, maybe it's better to avoid clashes. Otherwise, it's a bit sad that the CofE assumes that its members will put football before God, although to be fair the CofE puts everything else before God and the student is not greater than the teacher.

      I suppose that in the spirit of fairness the Carol service is probably the one service that people who don't normally go to church attend and whilst it may not be the best evangelical tool, you may ot want to compete with the football particularly if England are in the final.

      Yes it looks disrespectful in some ways, but perhaps it's simply dealing with the reality of the situation?

      Maybe we are at risk of leaping on to a bash the CofE bandwagon??

      Yes, if it's a service for non-churchgoers, it's probably best to avoid clashing with the World Cup (not that I even knew it was on this year until I saw all the posts here!).

      I imagine it's probably too late for churches that scheduled carol services for the 18th to change them now, though, especially if they've been advertised locally.

Unasked and Unanswered Question?

May God receive these three children into His loving arms while their parents are left asking how the evil He permits fits with His Divine Providence.  Bebe King, aged six, Elsie Dot Stancombe, aged seven, and Alice da Silva Aguiar, aged nine. Perhaps not the right time for these questions.  There will be blame aplenty apportioned to the various agencies who failed to identify and prevent this horrific murderous attack.  Not to blame them, but any inquiry needs to focus not just on the agencies who failed to pick up on the developing madness of this child. It also needs to look at the mother and father of Axel Rudakubana.   Where are parents amidst all these agencies? Is the State responsible? Given all their previous contact with numerous agencies over years, one is forced to ask what the parents needed to help them contend with and help this young, autistic teenager; an isolated child with evident growing mental health problems. What support were they offered?...

"Peace For Our Time" or "A Deal with the Devil"?

Melanie Phillips , writing last week, observed: There was one immediate and very public effect of the hostage deal that was prematurely reported to have been agreed between Israel and Hamas. No sooner had this news filtered through on Wednesday than thousands of jubilant Arabs poured onto the streets of Gaza brandishing weapons, uniforms and insignia, and chanting that they had won the war. These men were demonstrably well-fed, well-clothed and equipped with smartphones. So much for the libel - the ludicrous calumny that has been amplified from Gaza throughout the length and breadth of the west - that Israel has been conducting a genocide against the Palestinian Arabs. As was bitterly observed by some of those watching the euphoria in Gaza, this must be the first genocide in history where the victims have emerged to declare victory. Those Arabs were ecstatic because they believed that the deal would enable them now, finally, to destroy Israel and the Jews. “Jews remember Khayba...
