It would obvs be best for Scotland win a point or more against Brazil, which would guarantee the last 32. But they can lose, even heavily, and go through as long as the third-placed teams in four other groups have 2 points or fewer. A, E, G & H likeliest I think.

England wins* the World Cup for an eighth successive tournament! sportingintelligence832.substack.com/p/england-wi...

Crystal Palace will have more players (12) at the World Cup this summer than Real Madrid (10).

Lawrie and Cloughie, Keegan and Birtles, a trip down memory lane via my autograph box sportingintelligence832.substack.com/p/lawrie-and...

I grew up in Nottingham in the heyday of Forest's European Cup-winning years, as a Southampton fan. Clearing out my house of the past 20 years, found this letter from Saints manager Lawrie McMenemy to me explaining why he couldn't open my school fair in April 1981!

Villa move to 21 major trophies.

Football. Bloody hell. What a match at St Mary's tonight. And we still don't know if that will mean a trip to Wembley. But for Boro fans tonight: kudos. 295 miles home starting at nearly 11pm. Are we all insane?

Loads of coverage of David Attenborough's 100th birthday. My fave fact from his career: as Controller of BBC2 in 1967, he introduced colour TV to the UK, trialling it at Wimbledon (tennis) that summer. Piece from 2017 about that: www.dailymail.com/sport/tennis...

REVISITED: the most extraordinary football story in decades - an unbelievable hoaxer sportingintelligence832.substack.com/p/revisited-...

Chelsea and Man City in the FA Cup final. No other English clubs have systematically ignored, bent or broken the rules like both have done. In terms of trophies won, no other English clubs have been as successful over the past decade and a half either. The moral of the story - is that there is none.

If you do one thing today, read this. It is incredible

Today's marathon world record in London: astonishing. If you want an insight into how incredible it is, stick the treadmill at your gym on to 21.1kph, and stay on it for two hours.

What a brilliant story from this week's Boston marathon. If you haven't heard about it or seen it, look up Ajay. Great stuff.

Completely forgot to post this updated table after City won the League Cup recently. Today's result reminded me to do so. City firmly on course for a 7th PL title in 9 years. Unbelievable achievement. Literally.
