Ready to ship up to Boston now!

Bought these for the World Cup. It's the hope that gets you

That press conference last night is simultaneously jaw dropping and absolutely no surprise for people who have had to operate in the shady world of covering Madrid with any kind of journalistic integrity

Is there an archive of all the old Tancredi Vines? Ideally the one of his floating head singing the Champions League anthem. Feeling nostalgic.

Looking to buy tickets to Scotland v Haiti in Boston if anyone wants to sell already. Got the flights and hotels, minor detail of actually getting into the game...

Happy we're going to the World Cup Tuesday to all who celebrate

Off to take in the playoff for promotion to Allsvenskan as a neutral. Örgryte v Norrköping. Two historic clubs. Almost 12 000 tickets sold for a freezing late November game is impressive by second tier standards!

At that point of the year where Im installing Halo Infinite again in the same ritual of blind hope that it will suddenly be worthy of the name

Graham Potter as Sweden boss would actually be class. Perfect job in the current circumstances for him and a perfect relief for the Sweden players after the dour JDT www.fotbollskanalen.se/sverige/svff...

Reminder for the millions and millions* asking that most of my new music is collated here: pblee.bandcamp.com/album/cloud-... *metrics open to interpretation

See the genius of Steve Clarke you dont understand is taking the best player in Serie A and make him camp in his own box for half the game against fucking Denmark

Brent Hinds is one of the greatest guitar players to ever live and most of you dont know it.

New for @josimarfootball.bsky.social, following an initial investigation by South African media Currency: "Waka Waka", the 2010 WC official song, was a huge hit for Shakira. All proceeds were supposed to go to charity. But where did the money go? josimarfootball.com/2025/08/19/l...

So it will be a "bridge derby" between Malmö and FC Copenhagen next week. Can't believe it has been six years since the last one. Unique fixture. I think I enjoyed it? www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

Today, on It Was What It Was, the football history podcast, we look back at Crvena Zvezda's (Red Star's) 1991 European Cup success. podfollow.com/1745066482

Espanyol and Burnley now part of the same conglomerate. Rumours of the name "Shitty Football Group" unconfirmed

Couldn't be more essential now we have entered perhaps the lowest of lows in elite football

Just discovered that Here We Go! merch exists and think it may be the final death knell of football

An absolute crime the Hoff didn't get an Emmy for this. You can barely tell it's him playing Michael Knight's doppelganger

Of course this is the first thing I see on TV when I get to Germany

Is ok, no?

And Mike Love is still with us. Truly the worst of years

This is the best piece that will ever be written about our show! Thanks @dianamoskovitz.bsky.social! defector.com/there-will-n...

Josimar har kommet godt i gang med mobiliseringen og passert 600 nye abonnementer. De trenger noen hundre til, og med fotballinteressen i dette landet skal det gå. Sitter du på gjerdet, er det på tide å hoppe ned nå.

Mastantuoso already being sucked up by the European talent hoover when he has barely had time to play for River is gutting

Why state ownership is different. @jonawils.bsky.social Libero 023 out now.

This is a no brainer and even more important no we are feeling the full might of sportswashing. Get a monthly subscription for the price of one cup of coffee and help keep one of the few investigative outlets left in football alive.

Today, on Libero, we discuss Qatar and the Champions League final and the shambles of the Club World Cup. podfollow.com/libero/home

@liberopodcast.bsky.social v much appreciate today's episode. The coverage of the Champions League final at the weekend was nauseating. We're at a point now where virtually no space is given to scrutiny and ethical reporting around these events on the major broadcast platforms in football. Dystopia

Time for all the overdue long reads about why Luis Enrique is one of the greats. The club and it's entire reason for being here stinks but I'm glad he will get his full flowers now.

Not an exaggeration to say that Scott McTominay is on the verge of going down as the defining figure of this Serie A season. An extraordinary scissor kick to put Napoli on the verge of a 4th title. They would not be close without him.

Imagine thinking you're too good for Scott McTominay. Technique of that goal is one thing but he's also bodying his marker at the same time. Pler.

Just learned that Brian Glanville passed. The term is overused but he was a giant of football writing above most. Was still dictating his copy down the phone when I started out in the early 2010s. That kind of skill blows my mind

Can anyone not named Carlo Ancelotti can make sense of of the modern Real Madrid? Xabi Alonso is not named Carlo Ancelotti, so is he doomed? @rorysmith.bsky.social, @jameshorncastle.bsky.social and @brewin.bsky.social seek answers to that, and more serious questions, in the latest Libero

The new Samsung OS update is absolute dogshit. What were they thinking ?

Richard Keys on Djurgården 🤣🤣🤣

Moving to Gothenburg has deprived me of Hammarby home matches but the silver lining is I get a minimum of four away matches per season in easy reach. BK Häcken on Sunday probably the least fun of them... (mental that this club won the league. At least 1/3 of attendance was away Hammarby fans)

@brewin.bsky.social the burning question: which death metal festival?

Not to initiate a circa 2013 pile-on but since Fortaleza signed David Luiz (probably their all time biggest signing) they've gone from candidates for the league in Brazil last year to relegation tempo and struggling in their Copa Libertadores group...

Oblivion thieves guild still all-timer good

Never thought I'd see Ter Stegen go full John Terry

Pleasantly surprised by how good the Carlos Tevez docuseries Apache is. (It's on Netflix). Makes you reflect on the way he was mocked back in the day...

The Pope's work peaked around Meliora tbh

Filipe Luís was a hell of a player, looks to be turning into a hell of a coach, and to top it off he has the courage to speak out on the scourge of gambling sinking its fingers even further into football when so few in his position care enough to do so. www.reddit.com/r/brasil/com...

Good night for fan-owned clubs in European football

THE FOOTBALL CLICHES PODCAST 🔊 Prince William Punditry Pandemonium 🔊 The "roaring back" threshold 🔊 The self-declared inventor of the pre-assist 🔊 Two desperately-needed hours of Keys & Gray (& McAteer) in their finest broadcasting form @cdeccleshare.bsky.social @davidcameronwalker.bsky.social

How do I keep getting so much older yet Joaquín Caparrós keeps becoming Sevilla manager?

On the plus side all those building skills learned from playing constant Runescape as a 14 year old are about to become very useful

De Bruyne to River Plate, make it happen

Yesterday's benefits announcements mean that, on average, households with a disabled member will lose £400 a year by 2029-30, but some households could lose out by £9,600 a year or more Vital, damning analysis from @resfoundation.bsky.social: www.resolutionfoundation.org/publications...
