Opposition parties should put leaflets through every door in Clacton spelling out what the council will now not be able to afford to do because their MP needlessly triggered a by-election.

Obviously it’s immensely satisfying to see pictures of Ronaldo crying, but let’s not lose sight of the fact that he’ll still be crying off camera in the dressing room and possibly in his hotel room and maybe even on the flight home

I believe in my day we called this “goal hanging”
For 90% of the game, Haaland just lurks around. He hardly even pays attention to the ball.
But then - out of a sudden - at the exact right moment, he awakens, scores a historic goal, and immediately goes back to lurking around.
He cannot be replicated.

Clearly never intending to get a job back in Europe
Pochettino himself, before the game:
“Everyone that really loves the sport and trusts ethics and integrity, I think we celebrate all that decision.”
“Everyone that really loves the sport and trusts ethics and integrity, I think we celebrate all that decision.”
Pochettino was clearly frustrated with how much discussion leading into game was about ethics. Basically said he wanted Balogun available and didn’t feel guilty about using him. Again refuses to use that situation as an excuse.

Donald Trump has no shame, but Folarin Balogun is a class act. He spoke to Belgian head coach, Rudi Garcia, after the match. Garcia said of Balogun "He came to talk to me. I really liked that. It is not his fault. He is not the one to blame. That's what I told him."

No one has any right to expect restraint, leadership and eloquence from young men who just happen to be extremely good at football but it's striking how often some of them deliver it.

However, the African and Asian confederations have already unanimously voted to give Infantino their delegate votes for his 2027 re-election. He only needs another 9 from the rest of the world.
UEFA's only weapon is that they generate 75%+ of world revenue.

See, it’s easy to do this…
Infantino must go.
No matter where it’s held, the World Cup belongs to the fans – not gangsters like Trump.
We need someone who’ll finally kick corruption out of FIFA.

A man who publicly was doing something which, when done wrong, can cause graft-vs-host disease, an autoimmune disease which can attack, among other things, your GI tract, now has an autoimmune disease which is attacking his GI tract.
What a coincidence.
