Oh, Enzo Fernandez of the racist chants sent off? In the World Cup final, the sort of thing that brings ignominy on you forever in the record? Tsk. How sad.

Croatia 2018 🤝 Argentina 2026. Tuchel was brought in to make the difference in this exact moment and he didn’t. England retreated, encouraged by his substitutions and the inevitable happened. Messi didn’t even need to have a big night, but still absolutely crucial.
It isn't that France haven't turned up. It's that Spain basically rendered them irrelevant. Best performance of the tournament so far, by a distance. Just imposed their game on them. Deschamps also got it wrong, too. They knew two on three in midfield was a risk.
Elliott Anderson was simply superb in that game.

People who opted to watch the replay at 7am should have to sit through an hour’s rain delay because they couldn’t be arsed to stay up. #VoteBinface #MEXENG
Falling in love is intoxicating and joyful, but when that spark of fun and giddiness starts to fade, too many partners worry that their relationship is broken. Here's why they're wrong. www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/get-...
Long-Term Relationships Are No Fun
They aren't dopamine-drenched like early love, but they give you more in return.

Again, the other team does have a plan and decent players. Their out of possession shape was superb. We’ll be fine.
Only 2% of people with OCD have documented evidence of receiving ERP. Most are in therapy right now with a well-meaning clinician who isn't trained to treat what they actually have. New post on why insight isn't enough — and what actually works.
The other team do want to win, you know. And they’re good. They’ve scored two terrific goals. Chill. We’re good, too.
Emi Buendia got me through Covid lockdown. What a player.
Jon McGregor@jonmcgregor.bsky.social · 3mo agoSavoured every minute that Buendia played for Norwich, knowing we'd never hang on to him. We saw him do stuff like this every week and it was so delicious

One of the days I like most in the whole year is the day all the videos come out of the calls to NFL players about to get drafted. Young men who’ve worked their asses off for years - often from extremely tough backgrounds - having their families’ lives transformed. Amazing.
Best 45 minutes of football I’ve seen for a number of years. If I was a supporter of either, I’d quite like a CDM to come in and make a few tackles, mind…
Feels increasingly like there is political pressure for this study to find a certain set of results which adds to the snowballing demand for us to *do something* even if that doing something (i.e. banning social media for under 16s) reduces liberty and connection. Great blogpost ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Chris Ferguson@cjferguson1111.bsky.social · 4mo agoThe UK’s proposed study of social media reduction in kids doubles down on a failed experimental protocol & is likely to produce misleading results. It’s easy to tear apart a study post-hoc so I’m putting my marker down before the study begins: This is a bad study. open.substack.com/pub/grimoire...

Yes. Of course, yes. There are limits. But the idea we need to be “compatible” on things like this are creating ludicrous expectations for our relationships.

Latest for @psychologytoday.com. TLDR version: January sees a spike in divorce petitions. Divorce plans aren't always dramatic; often it’s more of a nagging question: Is it still worth the effort? Instead, it’s worth asking another question: Are you a pleasure to live with? tinyurl.com/3x829kys
Forget Divorce Day, and Love the One You’re With
January often sees a spike in consultations with divorce lawyers. But don't just swap one set of problems for another before asking yourself these questions.

“the third Monday in January is notoriously the gloomiest day of the year”, the BBC News website informs us, without revealing the source of this claim is a notorious nonsense PR survey from probably 20 years ago at this point.
A hill I will die on: adults who advocate for a ban on teenagers using social media should face a ban themselves. I’m only half joking.
