Feels like you really have to be deliberately trying to if you’re hoofing a ball that far over the bar from 12 yards out. Centrebacks absolutely shitting the bed in this tournament

Look hating this guy is a National pastime but he is so so bad at his job. Farage is angry because he’s been caught. He’s been found out and and he’s furious that the plebs and (most) journalists that he flattered and played to have finally become bored of him and his boorish schtick. Jesus like.

"She's running for President while wearing an electronic tag" would be fairly spectacular levels of France.

LOL ‘USMNT’. Off you fuck

Large oil companies are expanding oil & gas production Plans are much worse than IEA’s gloomy business-as-usual scenario - 5.9% increase in oil & gas production this decade, leading to 2.9C global temp increase by 2100 The current heatwaves are with 1.4C warming www.theguardian.com/environment/...

BBC 10 O'clock news report not only didn't mention Comcast at all, but framed Sky-ITV merger as a way to help them "compete with American streamers". Complete failure of journalism.

Every lifelong football fan I've ever met is like "I think players are supposed to serve their suspension" and every adult convert is like "the Archon of Constantinople's epistle on the Pentacostine rites of the eucharist clearly states handballs are mandatory."

“Leave Madrid and come here, we’ll pay you less money!” is a bold strategy Cotton, let’s see if it pays off

Can’t wait to see which plum job that fraudiest of frauds Martinez walks into next

Seeing so much of this from Americans, like it’s not entirely possible to be all too aware FIFA is an enduringly corrupt blight on the game and also not be a fan of this manifesting in a new, particularly gross way

Might try something a bit different here given these lads can’t cross for toffee

Feels pretty comfortable for England this really

‘Bog-standard’

guys you can't do the "two americas" thing then celebrate donald trump doing a corruption in your favour. it's one america and he's your guy.

Missed off the ‘* unless there’s the opportunity to cost Lewis Hamilton an 8th WDC’ from ol’ Article B5 13.5 there

Lewis must have really displeased the safety car gods at some point

Ref being unbelievably weak in the face of all this shithousery

Grateful to the Telegraph for providing the definitive answer to its own question, albeit in quite small letters.

These games in the 11pm/midnight slot really need to stop being so compelling, my sleep pattern is an absolute raging binfire at this point. Sublime game

Don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone score so many unconvincing penalties as Salah has/does

Centre-backs and penalties are having quite the year. Harry Maguire would never

Ok doubly fucking nauseating now. Not what you want to stay up til 2am for

Roberto Martinez getting bailed out by braindead defending, you absolutely hate to see it

Swear Ducker used to be relatively normal (if a bit too willing to suckle at the Abu Dhabi teat). Maybe prolonged employment at the Telegraph just inevitably cooks your brain

Surprised how many people don’t think that was a penalty, no matter how much basically all of us didn’t want it to be. Unfathomable from Senegal to choke like that against just a whole load of Belgian nothingness

Was worried we might do something insane after missing out on Fernandes so this one is a genuine relief.

Please send this to every British journalist, analyst, podcaster and PGMOL. This is the law as it is written! Astounding the amount of people, including ex-players and refs(!) who just don’t understand this very basic law regarding obstruction. “He’s got to be stronger there.” No he does not!

I had not clocked until now that they really are sending out “Sir Rich Barrons” to tell the public they have too much and they need to sacrifice, so we can impress the Donald by giving that money to Raytheon instead

Hard to fault United for not wanting to pay that fee/salary, but can have a good guess at where the ‘numbers’ are now set for Scott, Baleba etc.

Sack her, bin her policies, eject her into the outer darkness. The worst case of Home Office brain I’ve ever seen

Thread (up & down from here). I also don’t know what Mahmood is playing at, but her statements are repulsive. All she’s going to do is divide the Labour Party further between people who hate her, & people who hate her but delude themselves that she might appease the right wing press. She needs to go

Pathetically egotistical and idiotic session from Stokes and England but hopefully McCullum and Key are going to fuck off as well and this is just sticking this whole bazball binfire on the bonfire

Bit of a reality check for Ferrari and people hoping for a title battle this

In Spain today: installation of solar panels above major irrigation channels. Channels of more than 100 kms transport water from dams to farmland. - Reduces evaporation -Provides large agricultural areas with power & supports irrigation -Decreases use of water in food production, doubling the crop.

Colombia great fun but couldn’t finish their dinner. Portugal so much less than the sum of their parts. Mad that’s ended 0-0. Really enjoying Rooney as a pundit but he’s absolutely pulling his punches here about Ronaldo

This fucking tannoy sound in the stadiums needs binning off almost as much as the hydration breaks

Colombia-Portugal the good kind of 0-0. End-to-end nature of it really exposing Ronaldo. Bruno been involved with most good stuff Portugal have done but looks unusually leggy to me by his usual standards

Jordan Henderson and two 10s as your midfield, can’t imagine why they’re still getting run through

Real shame Kobbie’s not got his feet up on a beach somewhere

Really rough for him and we now kind of have to bring in two more midfielders without the expected funds we might have got for him. Probably impacts us any other moves we might have been looking at a bit (LB, LW?)

Mbaps watching this Dembele tour de force

If these findings are accurate, they expose the staggering extent to which Palantir is taking from our country while giving back as little as possible www.opendemocracy.net/exclusive-ho...

Quite jarring to look at these fees central midfielders are going for or looking like going for this summer and remind yourself what we would have supposedly accepted for Kobbie on the say-so of you know who

PL owners will get their way of a closed Super League by increasingly pricing everyone else out of the game and buying players from each other at ever-increasing fees. £40m is now the base for a decent player. 100m will be the floor for anyone good. 200m for the stars. To hell with everyone else.

Do think with Anderson and seemingly Mateus Fernandes we’re seeing the limitations of any ‘Prem proven’ recruitment strategy. Top end of the market you’re almost always going to have (at this stage) more attractive options competing and/or clubs rolling in PL cash able to drive the fee up.

Warms the heart to see the continued inaction over Man City’s cheating giving them the opportunity to once again spend insane money on a player and distort the market for everyone else. The beautiful game

Unions are bad on climate change. They just are, because we don’t have unions for people working on renewables and environmental progress yet, but we do have very entrenched and old-fashioned unions representing people in deeply polluting sectors. Join your union but tell them to ram it on climate.

Penalty that, no?

Anthony Gordon against a low block. Like watching a dog try to solve a Rubiks Cube
