DONE DEAL 🚨 A few months ago, I joined @TMuk_news on a short-term basis in time for the summer transfer window. It’s been busy and challenging learning new skills, but ultimately very rewarding. Delighted to say that’s now been made permanent 🤝

When sheer grit, determination, pride and effort outweight tactico nonsense. Cape Verde. Absolutely fantastic. Spain could learn something from those lads. #ESPCVD

I've counted 4 times in the first half that Diomande has knocked the ball past Hincapie - and he's no slouch. That burst of pace is so, so effective in getting behind. Ecuador need to double up on him. #CIVECU

If anyone deserved that NBA title, it’s Jalen Brunson. That was insane, even by his standards and the refs’ missed calls. Showed up Wemby tonight. Dylan Harper with a special performance for the Spurs. That kid is going places. #KnicksSpurs

No idea how McLean's escaped a red there. Karate-kick and catches the Haiti player on top of the knee. Clearest red you'll see

I'm the furthest you could probably be from being a basketball scout, but Dylan Harper... you can just tell he's got that 1% natural talent. Unflappable. Pulls off ridiculous shots. Special, special baller. #Spurs

Matheus Cunha has been miles more effective than Igor Thiago. But Brazil could've avoided all of this by selecting the man who deserved that No. 9 shirt: Joao Pedro.

The cynic in me says Freddy is an industry plant and this was all planned in a name of a documentary The romantic in me really hopes that it's genuine because this bloke is living the life right now and it's a rare positive in social media's favour
Just sent you a message! :)

Switzerland deserve that. So complacent at 1-0. Game management terrible from Yakin. Switched off completely in the last 15 mins. Fair play to Qatar. Kept going until the end and look what it means to the players. This is why I love the World Cup. So unpredictable! #QATSUI

Lucas Herrington, 18, could feature for Australia in World Cup vs Turkiye tomorrow 🇦🇺 In the background, Barcelona have moved to sign the talented CB from Colorado Rapids Full story, including expert view from Transfermarkt US Area Manager @ManuelVeth: transfermarkt.co.uk/barcelon…

Been saying for months, YEARS even... this is what could've been of Chelsea. High pressing, runs in behind, fluid movement in possession. USA & Paraguay quite even in terms of quality in starting XI. The aggressive setup from the USMNT has been the difference. #USAPAR

The USMNT look very, very sharp. Not at all surprised given Pochettino's gruelling training methods, but seems like it's worked a treat. Paraguay a yard off the pace for every ball it seems. #USAPAR

That shirt-pull on Larin is a perfect example of a law that needs to change in football. It doesn't matter for Bosnia that one of their 11 players gets a booking for a tactical foul in the 93rd minute. It would matter, though, if that player was forced off for 2-3 mins.

Who is actually opposed to a temporary sin-bin for a tactical foul? It does nothing positive for the game and a yellow card late in the game is pointless 99% of the time.

While not quite derisory, Brighton's offer is almost half of Luka Vušković's current market value. Major surprise if Tottenham accept, despite Van Hecke factor Oustanding at Hamburg, but is there future at Spurs? Second most valuable U21 CB in world 🌎 transfermarkt.co.uk/2nd-most…

Just watched The C-Word on House M.D (still on my first watch-through). Sheer brilliance. Didn't realise @hughlaurie directed it, but you could tell. The little subtleties were a delight, despite the depressing nature of the episode. Probably my 2nd favourite of the entire show.

Brighton dealing in bad faith, especially when they demand huge fees for #bhafc players. They're asking for €80m for Van Hecke when he has one year left on his deal 😂 Vuskovic has a market value of €60m. Spurs signed him for €15m when he was 16. Paltry offer.
🚨 EXCL: Brighton & Hove Albion make £30m offer to sign Luka Vuskovic from Tottenham Hotspur. 19yo #THFC talent among Europe’s most coveted players but Croatia defender favours #BHAFC as best step for development mutual trust with Hurzeler @TheAthleticFC nytimes.com/athletic/7347335…

There are *a lot* of empty seats at this South Korea-Czech Republic game. Literally rows and rows unfilled in the camera shot. Higher stands crowded, which you would assume are the cheaper seats. Not a great look for FIFA at all. #KORCZE

The touch was poor, so it’s almost moot. But If you scan before receiving the ball, you’ve got an idea of how much time you’ve got. Opening your body to receive on the half turn means you can shield the ball. Or, simply, knock it back to the keeper if you don’t want it?
Never play straight forward out from the back. The player receiving hás no panorama, can't see the threat. It's so basic, but it costs so many goals
