It's weird, as it's such a big event to take your time getting to.

It could also be a football thing. When I head to the Emirates to see Arsenal I always seem to miss the start of the match and I'm not the only one as the turnstile queues are long before and after I get through them. I suppose it's that one final pint at the pub.

Canada were lucky and I think China deserved something out of that match. DeVos' comments were a bit off the mark as I'm seeing more and more elite clubs concede possession but play a pressing game where they contain the other team in non-dangerous positions and then use their superior technical skills to smash them on the break. While I didn't expect China to hit Canada on the break, they did look competent.
