One more for luck. Not the cleanest of goals by any stretch, but off the shin still counts as his.

Because I'm a lazy git, based on your evidence, I won't bother downloading cropping and uploading the footage. However, I think your camera angles may be misleading. On the clip I watched, the ball passed close to his leg (maybe 6"), but did not make contact. Whatever, a goal is a goal, Ukraine were stuffed 2-0, and England didn't have to shift out of 1st gear. It must be coming home

I have to say my first instict was that he shinned it, but, quite frankly, who cares?

As I had mentioned previously, usually if there’s any suspicion that a “goal” wasn’t a “goal” they’d be plenty of comments by the media - I’ve searched and there’s absolutely nothing, so as far as I’m concerned it was a legitimate HK goal!!

Well, a fairly depressing scoreline for Wales, losing 2-4 to Armenia at home FFS.... The play acting however was disgraceful - stereotypical of Wendyball

Armenia's Goal-keeper getting Moore sent off with an Oscar worthy "Dying Swan" act, miraculously leaping back to life to accept the hugs and kisses of his teammates as Moore left the pitch.... Seriously, WTF?!

Thankfully P2 in F1 has started!!

[dtaai-maai]

But I'm sure Armenia are a jolly good side...

To be fair, they were 3-1, then 4-2 up before Moore got sent off. And apparently he wasn't sent off becuse of the play-acting, but because he lost his rag:

"The keeper has also been booked after the pair came together but Moore definitely lashed out with the boot behind the referee's back. However the linesman spotted it."

And...
"Nathan Blake
Former Wales striker on BBC Radio Wales

You'd think the scoreline should be the other way around, Wales 4 Armenia 2.
But Armenia have come here with no fear at all, they've played some fantastic football, they've controlled the game largely and scored some fantastic goals.
From Wales' perspective it's a reality check.
The question was there what were Wales going to do after Bale if they went one goal down.
Rob Page is going to have to be a tactical genius to get Wales above or level with where they've been in the past.
On tonight's evidence it's going to be extremely difficult."

EDIT: Never mind, Pietro, after England's magnificent 4-0 victory against mighty Malta this evening, you have our game against North Macedonia to look forward to. Date for your diary, dear boy.

^ I hate you......

But....... Around the 7 minute mark: -

Now that's play acting..... Although there were others guilty.

Not tested with Malta obviously but with the options of in-form and sought after (tournament tested too) Kane, Bellingham, Foden, Saka, Walker, Rashford, Grealish and Harry Maguire—we'll be the favourites to win it again.

Fingers crossed

[Big Boy]

Well. I didn't think Malta justified a loss of unnecessary beauty sleep. Looking at the scoreline, I think it was a good decision. An own goal and 2 penalties against the mighty Malta tells quite a story. Still 3 points though.

IT'S COMING HOME!!!

[dtaai-maai]

Well, after 4 pretty tense days of Ashes cricket, I wasn't sure if I was up to England vs North Macedonia, but at 7-0 up with 10 minutes to go I'm starting to relax...

EDIT: Not that N Mac were any good. Some bloke called Philips snuck on to the pitch disguised as an England player and even he managed to score!

And Saka’s 2nd goal the pick of the bunch!!

Go to bed, man FFS ...
