Big Dan Burn asked whether England can go on a long and winding road to conquer the US - as the Beatles did 60-odd years ago. Day in the life of an England defender. Centre-back in the USA? #ENG

Diving is a stain on the game. Danny Makkelie and his VAR struck a blow for justice. They did the game a favour. Cut through the red tape, ignore the confusing wording, and confront the curse of diving. #FIFAWorldCup

Community policing looks a bit different when the @FIFAWorldCup is in town! Our officers celebrated alongside fans, both international and local, during Day 1 of @FWC26Boston Fan Fest on City Hall Plaza!

Brilliant set of 12 souvenir front pages from @heraldscotland celebrating Scotlandās return to the World Cup. Scotland fans have already made a huge uplifting impression here in the US. Now for the players. Good luck to Andy Robertson and all @ScotlandNT

Grand theft orthotics? Main concern of players losing boots would be potential loss of individually made orthotics. Items being recovered, camp playing down incident, kit-room flooding at 2010 World Cup more damaging but security should be reviewed. Good story @CraigHope_DM #ENG

World Cup Diary. Day 4. Trip to Argentina training in Kansas City to watch Lionel Messi felt almost a pilgrimage. Fascinating to watch him, even padding around in rondos, as he heads down sunset boulevard. At 38, Messi is a player of moments but still game-defining moments? 1/2

.... Also in the diary praise for USMNT stars Pulisic and Balogun and a look at their time in England; the importance of hosts doing well; Klopp and Muller making more friends; and why āmistaken identityā restores some identity. @WorldSoccerMag 2/2 worldsoccer.com/2026-world-cā¦

Earlier this year I wrote a bit of a love letter to Scott McTominay for the mag
"It was the finest volley Hampden had seen since Zinedine Zidane's against Bayer Leverkusen in 2002 - and no Scot would have swapped their man for the former Real Madrid maestro"
We named Scott McTominay as one of our People of the Year for 2025 š

Great to see simulation punished. Almiron dived, Ream booked. VAR intervened, Reamās booking rescinded, Almiron booked. Ref Makkelie announces, āAfter on-field review thereās no contact and there was clear simulation. Yellow card.ā Good. Might make divers be more upstanding.
