As fine a reason as any to strike Americanisms out!

Quite aware of that, but not sure of the relevance of that to a job interview. First base - first interview, second base - second interview. Perhaps it is clumsy language, but it is a commonly used term in all sorts of contexts. I'll just shrug my shoulders and move on.

It wouldn’t be appropriate for a job interview, hence the reference to HR disapproving…

I don't agree with that in the workplace.

Only just noticed that Anthony Taylor is officiating the Spain-Germany QF whiles Michael Oliver has the Portugal-France gig. Must admit I've been impressed with the standard of refereeing in the tournament so far.

Sorry Spain (national team, not people) but you are filthy cheats and absolutely don't deserve to be through. Although, that winner. What a header!

England are awful and stinking out the tournament.
France says hold my beer.

I’m pleased Portugal went out last night. I’m no hater of them in particular but they failed to score in three consecutive matches, two of which went to extra time (so 330 minutes). You can’t keep scabbing your way through tournaments like that. They’re a good side who have been hamstrung by having Ronaldo there. I’m convinced if they’d picked someone else to start up top then they’d have scored and likely gone through.
That said, France are hardly ripping it up either.

Portugal of 2016 completely disagree with that! Although they won it when Ronaldo wasn't on the field, and if they had just remembered that part of the template, they'd probably still be here. Just utterly baffling, they'd be a highly likable side without him in there, alright there'd still be the shithousery and histrionics without him, but they'd be a coherent team.

Likeable is not the first word that comes to mind when I'm thinking about a team that includes Pepe, Bruno Fernandes and co.

Yeah, I'd struggle to describe them as 'likeable', but that squad is undoubtedly hugely talented. Seeing Ronaldo ineffectively lumbering around the pitch while Ramos and Jota were sat on the bench was just bizarre.

Heh I actually quite like Pepe, maybe it's just his longevity and dedication to shithousery. Fernándes is a bell helmet, granted, but Silva, Costa, Vitinha, Cancelo and Dias are all fantastic footballers. Maybe I'm just going soft.
