16 year old boy murdered in Mexico. His teammates took him to where they used to play football. And let him score, one last time. Never seen something like this.

Really good chemistry & excellent insights from Juan Mata, Emma Hayes & Ange Postecoglou on ITV. Would happily listen to them every game. Find it hilarious some blokes are triggered by Emma. Would be fascinating to work with & listen to her working with players.

Omar Artan prepared for 3 years as part of FIFA Team One, the soubriquet given to match officials since Qatar. On 9 April he was announced as one of 52 refs selected. If you miss out because of injury, that's hard. Because of your nationality, very sad. nytimes.com/2026/06/09/worldโ€ฆ

10 years ago, an American film maker documented a really powerful story about two Somali footballers called Men in the Arena. At the start of this trailer, it explains how in 2010, many Somalis couldn't even watch the World Cup as it was banned. youtu.be/hdQ_WTpNd7E

Sat in Switzerland watching this on TV. Feel far more emotional than after game last night. Not a bad reception for a group of players I've seen called 'cowards.' What a weird (but today, wonderful) world we live in. โค๏ธ๐Ÿค

This is a little self-indulgent and very personal but it's been a long old time for me and Arsenal: from apartheid to Budapest, from Swindon to Soweto and somehow ending up here, in Hungary for the Champions League final tonight, with my son @jackimmcrae theguardian.com/football/202โ€ฆ

Swiss Cup Final. St Gallen who finished 2nd in the league are 1-0 up at HT v 2nd Division side who average less than 700 fans for home games. Just before HT, St Gallen's Cup GK was sent off. VAR said no handball. Livened up second half.

Charlton are promoted!! Sophie Whitehouse saves four out of five penalties! What a performance. #CAFCwomen #BarclaysWSL
You wouldn't want to take a penalty against Sophie Whitehouse, with the way she's played today... Leicester surely have to win this before the end of extra time. #BarclaysWSL

On verge of becoming the first English champion since 1919. Tidy.
UNBELIEVABLE FROM AARON RAI. ๐Ÿคฏ He drains a 70-footer at the 17th to move to 9-under and open up a three-shot lead with one hole to play. #PGAChamp

Love this Panini album story. One of my first was from early 80s. Sure I remember at least two Swansea City players were photographed in their socks, with no boots. Positive it's not a dream. theguardian.com/football/202โ€ฆ

Something (allegedly at this stage) negative can hopefully be turned into a positive. If interviews like this one with Luke Ayling resurface, people will improve their understanding and in future think twice about mocking.

Author @DanFreedman99 wrote a brilliant book about a young boy called Lenny who 'found his voice' thanks to football-loving schoolfriends. 6,700 kids recently read it simultaneously at Portsmouth FC for a Guinness World Record. Some great resources are available for teachers too.

You can read about the Fratton Park event here. Such stories can definitely help adults, as much as they can children, to understand each other. portsmouthfc.co.uk/news/2026โ€ฆ
