I like the little bit of insight into the way international football's run...

"Estonia will be without full-back Raio Piiroja, who will miss the game through suspension. Piiroja was expected to start in Tallinn until Uefa contacted the Estonian FA to inform them the defender, who plays for Fredrikstad in Norway, was not available."

[Phone rings]
Estonian FA: Hello, Estonian FA - How may I help...
UEFA: Hello, UEFA here. Just a quick phone call. You know that full-back of yours...erm, Piiroja?
Estonian FA: Yep...why do you ask?
UEFA: Just phoning to let you know he can't play against England. Thanks, bye!
[Conversation ends]
