Check out the new 2D match engine introduced for Derby Manager 2:

🇨🇻😢 Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha: "I cried after the game because I grew up with my grandparents when I was a kid, and they could not be there. They passed away a few years ago. My mum could not be here either for a VISA issue, and the money we had to pay for it. We did not manage to do this in time." (@TheAthleticFC)

Quite enjoying the cognitive dissonance between ‘throw ins must take five seconds because we can’t slow the game down!’ and ‘now we have ad two breaks in the middle of the game.’

Every time the World Cup rolls around, Japan’s supporters clean the stadium on their way out and every time, it rightly gets an incredibly positive response. Their whole culture has respect and honour so deeply embedded within it, it’s superb.

All the tainted trophies Mourinho “won” at Chelsea came from having players that knew how to cheat on the pitch… injure opposition players without getting cards. Dive at will without a caution for simulation. Players totally immune from the ref. He just got two in at Madrid.

It’s currently 86° in Houston and they’re playing indoors in a climate-controlled stadium. Have some respect for fans’ intelligence and call it what it is: a commercial break. Are we really going to keep up this charade for the entire tournament?

Every top manager is in love with him and he's scored in multiple Champions League finals and he's got 21 G A in 23.88 competitive 90s for Germany but anyway Havertz probably isn't that good

That Gianni Infantino unilaterally altered the structure of football matches is deserving of so much more anger.

We've got this incredible feature on the BBC through the World Cup. For games the BBC cover, you can watch the games live (or back) in this 3D space, freely controlling the camera angle or viewing it in first person from any players' POV. Top for tactical insight. See here: 3d-bbc.co.uk/

Raumdeuter‘s Union representative 😅

BBC: “What advice did David Hockney give to you?” BBC Guest: “Enjoy life and fuck everyone.”

Strolled into Naples, won the Scudetto, then looked like Bond at Wimbledon, before scoring a mural-worthy overhead kick to help take Scotland to the WC. Those Neapolitan tomatoes are something else

Maurizio Micheli, Berta’s head of scouting who watched Tzolis recently, is the same man who found Khvicha Kvaratskhelia at Dinamo Batumi and took him to Napoli.

A duck wearing a Mexico kit. I’m moving to Mexico immediately 😂🇲🇽

RT @3cbPerformance: LMAO. "Time wasting Raya" Same bunch of bullshit narratives and then as usual don't keep the same energy. Ignore all…

> Thomas Tuchel on Arsenal's players set-piece threat: "When you watch Arsenal closely, you realise their set-pieces are not luck, they're an art form. Every movement is rehearsed, every block is timed, every player knows exactly where the ball will arrive. What impresses me most is the commitment of the players. They treat a corner in the 5th minute with the same importance as a penalty in the 95th. Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka and the other Arsenal boys bring that mentality into the England camp. They understand the details. They understand that trophies are often decided by moments, and set-pieces create those moments. Modern football is about margins. Arsenal have turned those margins into a weapon. You can spend all week preparing for their open play, but if you switch off for one corner or one free-kick, they punish you. That's why they are so dangerous and why every coach in Europe studies them." — Thomas Tuchel

“There was a time we had 90 million turnover and we had to pay back 22 million per year for the stadium, I couldn’t sleep because we had to qualify for the champions league to pay back the money. We had to sell our best players. Other clubs came in with lots of money but we were on the same level from 2007 to 2016” Arsene Wenger

Ufff, buenísimo este compilado de 8 minutos y medio con las mejores jugadas (62) de Maradona en sus 4 Mundiales, desde las primeras ante Bélgica en 1982 hasta las últimas vs Nigeria en 1994. Para disfrutar!

Something unusual happened after Argentina v Iceland friendly. Messi had a long talk with an Iceland player after learning that his father, Eiður Guðjohnsen, once shared a Barcelona dressing room with him. From playing with father to facing the son. Longevity. Greatness. ❤️
