I applaud the French player’s work life balance. If they make you come in on a weekend you half-ass it, that’s right
Real heads show up to see England reserves lose to France reserves after the Argentina match.
Well with that out of the way I can now have a nice relaxing time watching the final.
I've thought France have looked unstoppable in this tournament – and maybe they are – but you have to give Spain a lot of credit for making them look normal.
Tuchel's grumpy post-match interviews are genuinely making me warm to him.
Astonishing to witness the arrival of a truly world-class English superstar in Bellingham. I don't know the last time we had someone quite like him.

A ★★★ review of Kill the Referee (1984)
Once a week, he feels important. It's nothing personal. A gang of football ultras led by Rico (Michel Serrault) arrive to support their team, but a penalty awarded by referee Maurice Bruno (Eddy Mitch...

"Harry, new regulations say that you must inhale helium before your post-match interview, to remove any dignity from your words."
Mexican fans who’ve been so good during this tournament have sadly in this second half resorted and returned to their now infamous homophobic chants. There’ll be big trouble for the FA … unless the government gets involved. Because that’s now a thing.
That's what happens to your much-vaunted home record when the visitors aren't St. Kitts & Nevis.
'one team desperately trying to level the playing field by turning a football match into a brawl, abetted by puzzling refereeing' is a noble footballing tradition and it's good to see it on the big stage once in a while
Eddie Robson@eddierobson.bsky.social · last mo.People talk about a game being "one for the purists", Paraguay v France is one for the absolute sickos. No-one should enjoy this. And yet. #WorldCup
If you want an example of Paraguayan bloody-mindedness, by the end of the War of the Triple Alliance, their army was mostly child soldiers who drew little mustaches on their faces with burnt cork and there were only 27000 adult males left in the whole country

Kolašinac possibly already the luckiest man at this World Cup.
2 goals and 3 sendings off? Genuinely a promising start in terms of how entertaining this World Cup might be.

The small island of Inisherin lies off the west coast of Ireland. In spring 1923, just as the Irish Civil War nears its end, Pádraic Súilleabháin (Colin Farrell) is told by his friend Colm Doherty (Br...

When I hear that Jimmy McNulty has been made Stockport County manager.
I see it's fine and patriotic to criticise the police and accuse them of bias now, whereas it was unacceptable and borderline traitorous two weeks ago
If you made a poster this good for a genre movie in 2026 Disney would drone strike you.
if you're cis and you are asked by your management to police bathrooms, "can you confirm in writing that you are ordering me to approach customers to discuss their sex?" is an email no manager wants to reply to
Weird Alex@jackalpants.bsky.social · 3mo agoFor business owners, the important part of the new ECHR advice is this: 13.179: There is no type of official record or document in the UK which provides reliable evidence of sex. [...] Therefore, it is unlikely to be proportionate or practical to ask for further evidence of a person’s sex.
