Against League 3@againstleague3.bsky.social · yesterday

My pitch to be president of FIFA: 1 day a year for transfers. I am so mind-numbingly bored of 6000 stories a day about this player or that player for 3 months. Isak last year. Vini this year. It goes on and on and on. It’s fucking boring. Cram it all into a single day. Job done.

again, if i had a calculator that gave me the wrong answer one (1) time, i would throw it out and never use it again and could probably bankrupt the company by simply telling people what happened

Gotta love the “or stocks” part. Like Gemini realized its first answer was nuts so it tried to wedge in a better one.

big respect for Wenger dusting off the old "I didn't see the incident" about Infantino's plans www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

My own little calzatine tribute to the great Franco Baresi.

This new feature on LinkedIn is going to getting a very good work out from me. The place is awash with it.

This is the full statement from Carlos Cordeiro as he quits as Infantino's senior adviser at FIFA. It’s over, Gianni. - via @robharrisreports.bsky.social

Fantastic point. 🤣

The only time I think I’ve ever said the words FIFA out loud is in relation to the video game. And they’ve even managed to fuck that up.

christ if that’s not a metaphor for our times

The team that once had Roberto Baggio, Andrea Pirlo, Dario Hubner and Gheorghe Hagi gracing the shirt, and is the subject of one of the greatest Copa 90 Derby Days videos - gone forever.

RIP Brescia Calcio, 1911-2026. One of Italian football's old guard have ceased to exist. Having been hampered by financial problems for years, Brescia were officially dissolved by court order 3 days ago. Ultimately it came down to a a €3million debt which Massimo Cellino failed to settle.

The man made the art of defending look too easy and elevated the Libero role to a whole new level. Undeniable at the back and the launchpad of so many goals scored by the great Milan team of the 80’s. We’ve lost a true giant of the game. 🙏🏼

Let’s not forget, UEFA aren’t exactly backwards in coming forwards when it comes to completely selling out a competition for huge financial gain. Regardless, this is a bold move that I’m sure Gianni would have expected. What does he have up his sleeve?

The full statement from UEFA is remarkable. Members vow not to participate in FIFA competitions unless the entire proposal is scrapped and assurances are made it is gone for good.

Not much more to say that hasn’t already been said, but this has been coming for a while and if any confederations or FAs have an ounce of bollocks, now’s the time to show it.

FIFA boss Infantino unveils $20b plan to sell World Cup to Kushner consortium

I wonder how much more coverage, angry editorials and special reports Harvey Norman's $55 million fine for misleading conduct would have received if they weren't one of the biggest, if not the biggest, advertisers across all media.

This would be a very good move. I'm a recent convert to mandatory voting and increasingly messianic about it open.substack.com/pub/iandunt/...

1/ Great reporting in The Times on the emerging momentum behind support for compulsory voting, which @ippr.org called for a couple of weeks ago: www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Goodness me, he’s actually using the word deception and hiding it in plain sight.

Pallonate in Faccia@pallonateinfaccia.bsky.social · last wk.

"Sorry that you were so consumed by hate and criticism that you missed the beauty of the World Cup." In the past few hours, FIFA President #Infantino posted a long message on Instagram against those he considers his "haters." 👇

I am absolutely ecstatic about this. Great statement of intent by the club to sign a big game player that fits in with our team culture. Bring on the Prem!

What a result! 2-0 down against A League Newcastle at half time, Preston come back to win 3-2 in the last minute of injury time. Absolute scenes.

Maybe ChatGPT should stop eating digital avocado on digital toast.

And that is the correct outcome. My faith in the football gods has been restored.

This game is making Brazil v Italy 1994 look like Brazil v Italy 1970.

The thing I don’t understand about half time shows is who are for and what’s the point?

Something I’ve been meaning to ask all tournament; why don’t American stadiums have roofs on them? They’d be quite useful in a country where it gets hot in the summer and rains/snows in the winter.

Nobody, and I mean nobody, in Britain knows or gives a fuck who she is.
