Remarkable performance. Quite stunning at 19!

Watching MOTD highlights of NUFC-Everton, I see that Newcastle, who had ditched illegal betting partner FUN88 at beginning of season, have now teamed up with 8Xbet (also partner of Sunderland, Bournemouth, Villa, Forest...), an even worse operator, linked to cyber slavery compound in Cambodia.

Sorry not sorry

How Africa boycotted the 1966 World Cup The BBC's Piers Edwards explains the little-known story behind the African boycott to the 1966 World Cup, the only World Cup in history to have been snubbed by an entire continent.

On the subject of World Cup boycotts, this is a story which ought to be much better known: why African countries decided not to compete for a place at the 1966 tournament. One of Fifa's most shameful moments, which hardly ever gets a mention.

Incredible that a city such as Paris cannot cope with a little snow.

NEW: A mass propaganda event is about to engulf the US news cycle and what, if anything, survives it will be a lesson for our times.

But it’s what the rest of the world does now that’s key. When someone tells you who they are, believe them.

Tough job. Someone’s gotta do it.

Reform UK's ex-Wales leader Nathan Gill admits pro-Russia bribery Nathan Gill admits eight charges of bribery while being a Member of the European Parliament.

Nathan Gill is no fringe politician.

He was the leader of the Reform Party and before that UKIP in Wales.

A Brexit Party MEP.

A friend and ally of Nigel Farage, who in 2016 called him:

"terrific," and "as honest as the day is long."

This is a MASSIVE story

Sign the Petition! Tell FIFA to end dynamic pricing, cap resale prices, and reserve tickets for New Yorkers.

"Game Over Greed": NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani launches petition to Fifa to "end dynamic pricing, cap resale price of WC tickets and set aside tickets for local residents". www.zohranfornyc.com/gameovergreed

World Cup’s dynamic pricing model lays bare Fifa’s singular motive: profit, at all costs At one point not long ago, the world governing body at least tried to look like it cared about growing the game worldwide. Not any more If there’s the tiniest sliver of an upside to the latest news about ticketing for the 2026 World Cup, it’s that we can finally dispense with the pretense that Fifa is interested in growing the game any more. Fifa confirmed on Wednesday that it will, for the first time, use a dynamic ticket pricing model for the tournament, which will be co-hosted by the United States, Mexico and Canada. While tickets will initially range from $60 for the cheap seats in some group-stage matches to $6,730 for the best vantage point at the final, those prices will then be algorithmically handed over to the market to respond to demand, which will probably cause them to skyrocket. After all, the first tranche of tickets goes on sale through an application and lottery system next week, but the World Cup draw will not take place until December. The gap between ticket sales and the assignment of teams to those actual matches all but guarantees a surge of demand for a diminished supply. Continue reading...

Such a stylish guy. Met him once on the Eurostar and he said « Nice shoes » to me. Remains a life highlight.
