Thanks for your company, up next will be the league games, kickoff at 1200 hours.

International prize money will be paid out this week as normal, along with a bonus for every turn sheet you filled in ( thanks for taking part ) and an extra bonus for every international friendly you played along the way. The bonuses will be paid to the managers parent club unless something different has been agreed.

Fantastic gesture, thanks Paul.

Really enjoyed the International season this year, many thanks.

England Boss Ben Wilson has praised both sets of players in what was one of the most tense World Cup finals ever contested. 

'Both sets of players have done their respective nations proud, playing a part in what will go down as one of the greatest games in modern times. Commiserations to Rob, he is an epic opponent and tactically one of the hardest managers to play against. Whilst I don't want to take away from today's match, I know that with the Champions League final is likely to be an even more epic affair - I look forward to that in a few weeks time'.

'Commiserations also to Tom - nice to see Chile win the Copa America - does a World Cup place next season for Chile beckon...'

Thanks also to Paul for an epic International season and for the generosity here.

Season defining week for this week, away to Fulham and away to Paris.  Doesn't get much bigger.  A win is needed in the French capital, no other result will do.  A draw at the cottage would be a sensational result, especially due to Lucas and Willian being out.
