It’s strange because if I see England fans dressed as Crusaders or singing about 10 German bombers I’m like “hmmm no that’s a bit much, come on now” 😒😒😬😬 But if Norwegians dress like Vikings and start pretending to row a longboat I’m like WOOOO LETS PILLAGE THESE ISLES 📯🤪🤪🤪🤪🤘

VARdenfreude

The rules from this tournament are very different from the Premier League but I’m all for it. You can’t foul the keeper on a set piece. 🤩 But also the ball moves around after shots like a floater so we get loads of long range screamers 🤩

Caipirinhas and sushi tomorrow Followed by currywurst and empanadas Absolute football feast 😋

We should bid for Kvara then. #lfc #psg #diomande

Just filled in our Turbo Island World Cup wall chart so far and now my hand hurts 😅🤓

I spent all week photographing National Guard & federal law enforcement in DC. More photos incoming...

Brilliant film 👇

Fulfilling the purpose for which it was built almost 2000 years ago, football fans packed the Roman Theatre of Amman to watch the Jordan v Algeria World Cup match. What a sight. [kottke.org]

This is great. Eli and the Copa90 film crew were out on the islands of Cabo Verde for their first World Cup goal. Sceeeeenes! 🦈 🇨🇻 youtu.be/JreiAoc6HFk?...

Une petite pause pour l'hydratation 👨🏻‍🍳

It gets better. His company’s name: Greenwater Services. Did he once pay a bribe to Jim Traficant: yes, of course

I love this kid vomiting up FIFA

We had the privilege of sharing our work on stage at Mo:De Fest this week. Lush crowd. Crazy talent in the line up. 🤩 Imposter syndrome kicking in hard 😅 #motiondesign #motiongraphics #animation #shortfilm #filmmaker

‘An Exercise in Perspective’ asks the question: what does the world look like when you lose your sight? Infused with vivid colour of memory, raw energy of punk rock, and the sense of release Harrison found in running, the film offers an immersive portrait of his irrepressible spirit and perception

You can’t help but think this sudden signing is an act of revenge by Hughes & Edwards, after Newcastle dragged out the Isak saga last summer. Seems opportunistic. ~€40m is their go-to number… Firmino, Mane, Salah, Jota, Gakpo, Konate, Diaz, Gravenberch, Kerkez, Frimpong all cost about that price.

Eh?!

When’s the last time England played a decent team in a World Cup and scored 4 goals? 🤔🤯

Did I find a new Banksy on my lunch break today? Definitely wasn’t there last week. #bristol

So far only one of my sweepstake teams has played. Tunisia 🇹🇳 And the manager has already been fired because they were so shit. 💀

Vozinha reacting to a journalist showing his Instagram follower count after the match (went from 50k to 1.5M).

Despite Spain having more than 74% possession, Cape Verde committed only one foul all game. It's the fewest by any team in a World Cup match in Opta's record books (since 1966).

I just realised it’s a huge advantage for teams being in groups that play later. They will know what they need to finish 3rd and qualify for the next round 🤓 #wc26

Ryan Gravenberch assisting Virgil van Dijk is only the second ever World Cup goal scored and assisted by a Liverpool player, after Ian Callaghan assisted Roger Hunt for England against France in 1966.

Father Time came for Aquilani hard 😅

Insane advert. 😅👏👏👏 Nike World Cup marketing spend is apparently $5bn 👀 For perspective… NASA budget for lunar missions in 2026 is $7bn 🫠 youtu.be/IyZ1WIua_1s?...

I’m struck by how likeable Iraola seems as a person. In his interview he was excitable, passionate and humble. Compared to Slot, who you could describe as calm, stern and assured (to put it kindly), it feels almost the opposite characteristics.

£428m wage budget and not a team of in-house mental health professionals is wild

We did win a trophy this season! The Hedgehog Cup 😜🦔 www.britishhedgehogs.org.uk/liverpool-fc...

I didn’t want Slot sacked personally, but my feeling for next season has immediately changed from a sense of dread to a nervous excitement. 😅 So I understand why they did it. No evidence that Iraola is capable of trophies, but his style is undoubtedly much more thrilling to watch.

@JacobsBen : Arne Slot only discovered he was leaving this morning.

Do we think Slot had been told before the final match? 🤔 He did seem remarkably uninvolved in the post-game on pitch presentations. Nothing in his post-match press conference about next season either.

FFS. If you want to play fantasy football for this years World Cup you have to give your data to Saudi Aramco. 🫠

Did a World Cup sweepstake… One from each of 4 pots… I got: Iraq Tunisia Austria Norway 😬😮

This made me realise I was lucky enough to see three iconic Salah goals in-person from the Kop. Mo vs Everton, Dec 2017 (Puskas winner) Mo vs Brighton, May 2018 (To win the golden Boot) Makka vs Brighton, May 2018 (When his daughter scored I cried) 🥹

It was at this moment Kolo Toure realised… 🤣

Thought this was AI Alan Sugar 🤣

ON: Chiesa & Wirtz OFF: Gomez & Gravenberch At 66 minutes. These subs were completely mad. It was a complete shambles from there on in. (And it was pretty bad before that) 🤔🤨🧐😬🫠

I was annoyed that I couldn't find a database of David Attenborough documentaries where I could search for a specific episode by topic. So I made it. attenborough-100.vercel.app

“What happened in there? We don’t know… Chris Mason, BBC News.” 😂😅

What a beautiful design ❤️ www.liverpoolfc.com/news/lfc-rel...

Paul Machin spoke so well about why booing that substitution felt wrong to many of us. youtu.be/vG63TMs90g0?...
