Constant, dizzying, yearlong, endless World Cup! Every kick of it massively mattering to someone, presumably. Every World Cup team will be playing World Cup several times and in various combinations. World Cup is officially going on forever! Watch the World Cup! www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...
World Cup 2030 qualifying: Uefa to split major and minor nations
Uefa will create a two-tier qualification process for the 2030 World Cup which will mean major countries will no longer play minor nations such as San Marino, Gibraltar and Andorra.

@u2songs.bsky.social Just heard "I Will Follow" used as a 'sting' before a TV break in the Jacksonville Jaguars - Buffalo Bills #NFL playoff.

I wish computers were as keen to execute simple commands I deliberately click and type to initiate as they are to instantly perform unwanted complex operations at the merest incidental feathering of a key or touchpad.

One thing I will say about endlessly trying and failing to buy tickets for Radiohead: by this point they really can be in absolutely no doubt that I am indeed A Real Fan.

How delightfully quaint some of these old Devon village names are, their etymologies lost in the mists of time.
A radio programme like the Shipping Forecast but it’s called Bin Day and it just reads out every single council in the country’s bin schedule
I like how the caption on this photo reads as if he's making a claim that could not be independently verified.
And for #FPL defenders - some of the players who've caught the eye with attacking threat (xGI/90) and DEFCON bonus potential (CBIT/90) so far 👇
Which #FPL midfielders have stood out for attacking threat (xGI/90) and DEFCON potential (CBITR/90) over the first 9GW?👇
This is how players have performed over their last 6 in #FPL . A Return here is 5+ FPL points in a GameWeek. A Haul is 10+ points. Players in the Hauls section have one 10+ game but no other Returns. Players in team colours have a Haul to go with other returns.

A breakdown of the Top 25 point scorers so far this season: GK 3 DEF 11 MID 7 FWD 4 Safe to say DEFCON is having an impact. I bet a lot of managers are only playing 3 at the back too. #FPL
