🚨 Jürgen Klopp has launched a scathing attack on the cooling breaks being used during this World Cup. 👊 "Football is being held hostage by executives sitting in air-conditioned offices. These breaks are being presented as a shield for player welfare, a noble weapon against the heat. In reality, they are nothing more than a golden cage built for sponsors. When I saw players standing around during cooling breaks while television timeouts dictated the rhythm of the match, I couldn't help but ask myself: who is the World Cup really serving? The supporters? The players? Or the advertisers? A World Cup match should flow like a river. Instead, we are building dams in the middle of it so commercials can be shown. It's dangerous for the spirit of the game. Football used to be the main event, but it now risks becoming background music for an advertising show." He didn't hold back. 👏👏

18 years ago today, the motorcycle world lost a true legend. Robert Dunlop was not only an incredible rider with 15 North West 200 wins and 5 Isle of Man TT victories, but a deeply respected person who defined pure determination. Forever missed 🕊️🏍️

Had a fantastic day out in the Peak District today tackling a few peaks with Mrs L, colleagues @ChasePicop and the wider Chase de Vere team. Brilliant organisation and a huge effort from everyone, with walks ranging from 14–20 miles and elevations between 3,000–4,500 feet in some very tricky conditions, all to raise funds for Motor Neurone Disease Association @mndassoc We also had the privilege of bumping into world record ultra runner Alex Welch during his training for an incredible 230km Amazon jungle race over 5 days…which certainly put our efforts into perspective! 👏 A massive well done to everybody involved for supporting such a worthwhile cause. Any spare pennies would be hugely appreciated 🙏 justgiving.com/page/cdv2026?…

Grim subject, amazing writing: "The gift of Andy and Fergie has been to bring the antiseptic of daylight to the culture of royal privilege." Surely, we're all Republicans now? lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v48/n05/…

🇦🇷🗣️ Marcelo Bielsa back in 2024: "I am sure that football is in a process of decline. It is becoming less and less attractive because what made it the best game in the world is not there anymore." "If you let a lot of people watch football, but you don't protect the pleasure of what they watch, that favours business, because the business is that a lot of people watch football." "For me, the introduction of technology (like VAR) does a lot of harm to football. This sport has a particularity: when it becomes completely predictable, it loses its appeal." "As time passes, as fewer and fewer footballers are worth watching and as the game produced is less and less enjoyable, this artificial increase in the number of spectators will be interrupted." Do you agree with Marcelo? 😳
