At the Parc des Princes tonight for France v Ukraine. Cherki, Olise, Barcola and Mbappe all starting for France

Nobody who was at the Stade de France on 13 November 2015 will ever be able to forget it. Ten years on from the terror attacks that traumatised a nation, here’s an account of what happened for @theathleticfc.bsky.social seen through the eyes of those who were there www.nytimes.com/athletic/680...

Waiting for Serhiy Rebrov’s pre-game press conference at the Parc des Princes. Thought I’d look through some pictures from Euro 2012 to see if it helped me remember any of the (absolutely minuscule amount of) Ukrainian I picked up and came across this all-timer of a menu translation

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design. news.sky.com/story/the-x-...

Democracy cannot survive if people like Jenrick, who is prepared to lie continually and without compunction, can prosper. Football in the 80s was frequently violent and, especially in the first part of the decade, awash with racism. These were not halcyon days, especially for non-white Britons.

At the risk of hexing the whole thing...are England actually really good? @adrianjclarke.bsky.social gives his verdict. And how tough a week has this been for Craig Bellamy? That's what I'm asking @tomwfootball.bsky.social . ROUTE ONE is right here pod.fo/e/33d1d7

🚨 NEW: Strasbourg, Chelsea and the Multi-Club Mess Analysing the drama with @tomwfootball.bsky.social ❓ Why did BlueCo choose Strasbourg ⚖️ Balancing the positives + negatives 🤬 Frustration over late Emegha switch 💰 Multi-club ownership: just the start? podfollow.com/1737070477

Shifted into a new false nine role by Luis Enrique midway through last season, Ousmane Dembele responded with an astonishing burst of goal-scoring form. On Monday night, the momentum propelled him to the sport’s ultimate individual honour. ✍️ @tomwfootball.bsky.social 🔗 bit.ly/4gCwnRm

Ousmane Dembele’s sudden emergence as a goal-scorer thrust him into the spotlight, but it was his tireless work as leader of PSG’s press that truly made him their poster boy. Piece for @theathleticfc.bsky.social on the newest member of football’s most exclusive club www.nytimes.com/athletic/664...

Strasbourg are fifth in Ligue 1, in Europe for the first time in 20 years and enjoying the fruits of a €160m stadium renovation. And some of their fans are livid. Piece for @theathleticfc.bsky.social on the fall-out from Emanuel Emegha’s decision to sign for Chelsea www.nytimes.com/athletic/664...

Bradley Barcola has just taken one of the worst penalties I have ever seen.

Very creditable performance by Marseille after all the upheaval of recent weeks. Deserved to lose on balance but a pity to lose to such a soft penalty

Dani Carvajal sent off for a blatant headbutt on Geronimo Rulli. Yet more evidence of the giant refereeing conspiracy against Real Madrid.

Can anyone stop PSG in the Champions League? We've got @tomwfootball.bsky.social on ROUTE ONE today discussing that. We've also got @jackpittbrooke.bsky.social weighing up Spurs' chances of survival. pod.fo/e/32b9ec

Very enjoyable chat with @tomwfootball.bsky.social & @andpscott.bsky.social for Across the Channel podcast 👍👍 We talk Marseille's Bernabeu challenge, PSG's injuries, French refs 🤨, Strasbourg's Emegha protests, Ethan Mbappé, Tyler Morton and much more 😍 open.spotify.com/episode/1Jbd...

The new ROUTE ONE is here, we're speaking to @polballus.bsky.social about some wobbly Barca games, @tomwfootball.bsky.social about Lyon suddenly being good and Feargal Brennan about tonight's Spain game. pod.fo/e/324e0a

Thoroughly convincing 1-0 win for Wales. Definitely wasn’t worried when Kazakhstan hit the crossbar twice.

Neves completes his hat-trick with an absolute rocket into the top-right corner from the edge of the box. A uniquely brilliant treble. And he has equalled his tally of league goals from last season in the space of a single game

Joao Neves having a game for the ages at Toulouse tonight: two (2) goals from overhead kicks in the space of seven minutes – both teed up by a touch on the chest, the second even better than the first. Over 70 minutes remaining for him to complete one of the most ridiculous hat-tricks of all time.

🚨 THURSDAY POD!🚨 A jam-packed show for @acjimbo.bsky.social, @oilysailor.bsky.social, @tomwfootball.bsky.social & @colinmillar.bsky.social... 🎣 A Grimsby battering w/ @lloydgriffith.bsky.social 😳 Man United's new nadir w/ @lauriewhitwell.bsky.social 🔥 Liverpool v Arsenal preview pod.fo/e/31fde4

After finishing second last time out, Marseille went into this season being tipped as potential title contenders. But it would take just one game for things to blow up in spectacular fashion. Piece for @theathleticfc.bsky.social on the latest mad week at the Velodrome www.nytimes.com/athletic/656...

Predicted that West Ham would go down this season but starting to think that that was actually a bit too optimistic.

Meanwhile in Ligue 1, this preposterously hench fourth official (Mickael Leleu) has just come on as a replacement for the referee in PSG v Angers

Vitinha successfully sending the entire goal the wrong way.

Extremely rare to see Lucas Chevalier make a mistake like that so of course he does that on his PSG debut.
