Imagine using a literal heatwave as an excuse to squeeze in another truck commercial. FIFA pauses Mexico vs South Africa for a "cooling break"—then keeps players waiting on the pitch because FOX hasn’t finished selling beer.#wc26 #México #RSA

🚨❗️ During Mexico vs South Africa, the referee had to keep the players waiting during the cooling break because FOX was still on a commercial break.
The match eventually resumed while FOX was still showing advertisements.
These cooling breaks are not related to player health, but are instead used to accommodate commercials.

Everyone at Gillingham Football Club is devastated to have learned of the passing of Kenny Jackett, our former Director of Football, at the age of 64.
He will be very much missed by us, and the greater Football community.
Our thoughts and condolences are with Kenny's family, friends and loved ones at this difficult time.

In a few minutes the ref will blow his whistle and it will be the Will Smith magic pen moment from Men In Black. We’ll all forget the politics, the prices, the scalping, the criminals just as we have done in the last few tournaments and concentrate on the feast of football

Sacking him is bad enough, but finding out because his family saw replacement rumours on social media? Utterly classless. He helped sign Trippier & Jimenez, got Andre to renew, and had to call the club himself to confirm it. Treating him like a muppet is an understatement. #WWFC

Can’t understand the short-sightedness. Why hire him in the Prem knowing relegation was likely, just to sack him now in the Champ? If I was Rob Edwards, I’d be fuming. Made him look like a muppet after his commitment. Baffling decision. #Wolves #RobEdwards #Championship
Wolves have parted company with head coach Rob Edwards.
We would like to thank Rob and his staff for their professionalism, commitment and hard work during their time at the club.

Absolute mayhem in Brazil! USA wins 1-0 via an own goal, but the real story is the CHAOS: 8 red cards shown to Brazil players & staff! Elias, 3 staff members, Zaneratto, Tarciane, Kerolin & Ludmila all sent off as tempers flared & riot police stormed the pitch. Wow!

Big coup for Gillingham beating League One & Two rivals to Will Goodwin. The 6'1 ex-Oxford striker has League One pedigree but needs a permanent home after tough injury/loan spells. If we keep him fit, his physicality makes him a massive asset for a promotion push. #Gills#GFC

Understand Gillingham are set to win the race for out of contract Oxford striker Will Goodwin beating off competition from Port Vale, Shrewsbury and Colchester. #Gills #oufc #ColU #pvfc #salop

Absolute heartbreak for Ipswich fans. Imagine grinding all the way to the Premier League just for your manager to walk before a single ball is kicked in the top flight. Massive blow for #ITFC.

I make it that we have 15 seniors players as it stands.
Would move McKenzie to centre back and get one more in to give us five in there & that is then sorted.
On top of that need I think we need two keepers. two left backs, one more runner in midfield, a winger & a versatile front man to give us 23.
If we want to have a (relatively) successful season then I’m hoping we don’t get to the point where the youngsters are used too frequently & can get good campaigns out on loan.

It’s been a few days!
Without even knowing it, there’s been very little to say what with the season so far away still and the World Cup not yet upon us.
I know it’s still early days but let’s have a chat about our current squad. Lots of departures, some extensions triggered and two new on-field additions.
Where do we need to prioritise? (There’s some obvious ones)
Will any of this lot below find themselves out of the Priestfield door?
Is there any position we DON’T need to strengthen in?
Discuss.

Great signing for @StockportCounty. Would have loved him at the Gills, but he deserves the step up.
Stockport County is delighted to announce the signing of Barnet's Player of the Year, Ryan Glover, who will move to Edgeley Park on a three-year deal when the transfer window opens on 15th June.

Massive Test win, but Stokes and Atkinson are under investigation for a post-match night out. Obviously, we need to wait for the facts, but hopefully, this isn't overblown.
Sportsmen are human beings. When can we normalise them just celebrating a hard-earned victory? #ENGvNZ

1/10 I wanted to do a deep dive into how global football has been systematically "Americanized" since the watershed 1994 World Cup in the US. From private equity to stadium gentrification, here is how the beautiful game adopted the North American corporate playbook:

Bonus: This macro shift isn’t just happening at the elite level; it hits close to home at Priestfield. In late 2022, Gillingham experienced its own American takeover when Florida-based property investor Brad Galinson acquired a majority stake, completely revitalizing the club.
