If the World Cup organising committee has anything about them, Jason Sudeikis will announce a surprise guest at SoFi. Boom. You can hear a pin drop. Diana Ross emerges in a cloud of smoke. To the tune of My Old Piano, she Panenkas Tony Meola. What a redemption arc.

I admire modern, gleaming venues as much as the next person, but give me faded grandeur any day of the week: the magnificent Estadio Azteca.

It’s the World Cup. Almost.
With a little under 31 hours until kick-off, there’s plenty of time to swot up and get to grips with The Athletic’s 200 Stars of Soccer.

A peace prize, 104 matches, tickets not guaranteeing visas, an uneasy pact between once united hosts, Iran moving its base from Arizona to Tijuana, $95 for a 25-mile bus trip, the U.S. hosting 78 matches (all quarters, semis & the final (even the worthless third-placed play-off))

After @Keir_Starmer accused @elonmusk of whipping up division I thought I’d share some of the misogynistic abuse and death threats I’ve received on this platform. 👀

Every time we lose someone like Sir Alex Younger, the country becomes poorer.
The very best of Britain. RIP.

One of the main arguments in favour of Brexit was that voters wanted less Polish people coming to the UK, and now Poland is the fastest growing economy in the EU and Britain is teetering towards recession.
Self-inflicted economic destruction for nothing. x.com/sikorskiradek/status/2…

ARCHIVOS DEL MUNDIAL: GOL DE ALZAMENDI A ALEMANIA
🇺🇾⚽
El 4 de junio de 1986, Uruguay debutaba en el Mundial de México con un histórico empate 1-1 ante Alemania Federal.
Apenas iban 4 minutos cuando Antonio Alzamendi aprovechó un increíble error de Lothar Matthäus, dejó en el camino al arquero Harald Schumacher y definió con el arco a su merced. Briegel llegó a despejar, pero la pelota ya había cruzado la línea.
