Two goals in the first 15 minutes saw hosts Orkney on their way in Day 1's evening kick-off game against Frøya in Group C at KGS I, and they added another late on to run out 3:0 winners. They also missed a penalty just before half-time.. #Orkney2025 #IslandGames #PFBontour

Later on day 1, #Gozo came up against #Shetland in Group B at the KGS ll in Kirkwall. Shetland had more than enough chances to win it, especially in the first half, but the game finished scoreless. A penalty shoot-out was held for placing purposes, which Gozo won 4:3 #Orkney2025 #IslandGames

RIP brothers Diogo Jota and André Silva, who died in a car accident in Zamora, Spain in the early hours of this morning. Diogo was a Red, and we loved him. André was a regular for Liga Portugal 2 club #Penafiel. Best wishes to their family circle, friends and all at both clubs. 🖤😢 #LFC #YNWA

Yesterday saw a scandalous, craven decision by CONCACAF's powers that be which proves the lie to everything they claim in their branding and mission statement. Those associations who turned their backs on Greenland yesterday should be ashamed: www.concacaf.com/en/news/conc... 🇬🇱⚽️ #Greenland

RIP the incomparable Brian Glanville, the man who set the benchmark for football journalism, who died last weekend aged 93. I knew his work from four decades of reading World Soccer. He was no fan of the Premier "Greed Is Good" League or Sepp "50 ideas per day, and 51 of them are bad" Blatter.

I vaguely remember them first time around. I bought "Never Mind.." and gave it away a few days later. Absolute dross and a waste of money.

A home defeat for #Malta last night against #Finland, but it was an impressive display, by all accounts. Hope they keep it up (and score a few goals into the bargain!). Rumour has it that Penelope Keith was in charge of the VAR at the Ta'Qali last night.. 😳 🇲🇹⚽️ #minnowlove #WCQ2026

Hard luck to #SanMarino following yesterday's defeat against #Cyprus. However, judging by the stats, they gave it a good go. Although points will be hard to come by in this campaign, I have a feeling they're improving rapidly and may yet surprise somebody.. 🇸🇲⚽️ #ForzaLaSerenissima #minnowlove

Eine Illustration mit einem Transpi auf dem steht "Bildet Banden für die Demokratie". Eine ältere Frau mit grauem Dutt und Brille in grünem Trikot und kurzer grüner Hose hat das Bein nach hinten ausgestreckt und kickt die Fußballblüte, die in türkis aus dem Boden wächst.
An der Hand hält sie eine PoC-Person mit dunkelblauem Trikot und kurzer Hose mit Sonnenbrille und blonden Stachelhaaren, die ein türkises Megafon in der Hand hält. Der Hintergrund ist pink mit weißen Sternen und lila Rand.

Right, squad, everyone is busy looking back at 2024. I'll do that tomorrow (or after midnight), but I'd just like to wish anyone reading this - not that there will be many of you - a happy New Year and may 2025 bring you all that is good. 😎👍⚽️ #HappyNewYear

Donald Trump might have a greedy, beady eye on Greenland, but the country's footballers have their eye on associate #CONCACAF membership. Here are three of them sporting the all-new, rather spiffing, national team home kit, supplied by #Hummel 🇬🇱⚽️ #Greenland

PFB returns with a story on the life and times of Thomas Cranshaw, an Englishman who helped transform Nicaraguan football, but a man whose legacy is all but forgotten there and who is virtually unknown in his native land: patmcguinness.blogspot.com/2024/12/an-e... 🇳🇮⚽️ #Nicaragua #football #fútbol

It's a raw day outside with the temperature hovering around freezing, so grab a cuppa, sit yourself down and peruse this little article on the tiny Wismari staadion, which is found in the Estonian capital, Tallinn, and, like Tallinn, is steeped in history: t.co/v6poG5ojRf 🇪🇪⚽️ #PFBontour #Estonia

When you consider what San Marino have had to put up with over the past 30-odd years - defeat after defeat, scorn and ridicule - their Nations League promotion is no mean feat. Last night was, well, emotional. I'm so happy for them. 😎👍 🇸🇲⚽️ #PFBontour #SanMarino #historymakers #ForzaLaSerenissima

Er, hello, everybody. I feel like a little one on his first day at school here. Anyway, if you're a fan of football in the world's smaller countries and/or more remote regions, do call again. It would be nice to hear from you. (Good grief. What a first post.. 🙄)
