It blows my mind how much this man has screwed over his country, and the future of Russia.

Farewell to football's 2025-26 season. Beyond big-league winners, this was the year of the underdog, of shock champions and of dynasties falling. Contrary to popular belief, European football is in good health. 𝗙𝗥𝗘𝗘 𝗧𝗢 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗗 @theathleticfc.bsky.social 🔗 www.nytimes.com/athletic/731...

How many points do you think will be needed to stay in the Premier League this season?

A consortium led by U.S. businessman David Storch has completed a takeover of Sheffield Wednesday, who are now out of administration and have had next season’s 15-point deduction in League One waived by the English Football League (EFL).

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, you are a delight.

Incredible performance by Hossein Vafaei.
