Danny Mills - "Brilliant stop by De Gea...the outstretched arm over the top, which is an unusual technique for a lot of goalkeepers."
No it isn't. Some expert.

Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.

Never mind changing clubs; in the official Team GB football programme Joe Allen has changed nationality

Allen, 22, is set to feature for Great Britain on Thursday in their opening match against Senegal at Old Trafford.
The mistake follows the humiliating episode at Hampden Park when the South Korea flag was shown next to North Korea's women footballers.
Games organisers Locog have been asked for a response to the latest blunder.
Allen, a fluent Welsh speaker from Pembrokeshire, is one of five Welshman selected in the men's football squad. But under the title "Nationality" in the official programme, the Swansea City midfielder is listed as English.
Compatriots Ryan Giggs, Craig Bellamy, Aaron Ramsey and Neil Taylor have all correctly been identified as Welsh in the official programme.
Allen, who started for GB in their warm-up match against Brazil last week, is expected to make the starting side for their Group A opener in Manchester.
The Football Association of Wales, who had urged Welsh players not to play at the Olympics, has also been asked for a comment.

Before the first day of competing at London 2012 was over, organisers had already been forced to apologise after the flag mix-up when North Korea faced Colombia In Glasgow.
As the North Korean players were being introduced before the match, South Korean flags were mistakenly displayed in the video package.
The squad walked off and could only be persuaded to return when the teams were announced again with each player's face displayed next to the North Korean flag, delaying kick-off by about an hour.
In response to that blunder, London 2012 spokesman Andy Mitchell said: "A genuine mistake was made for which we apologise."
