“Have this weird feeling that Gianni Infantino will pull off his mask to reveal Sepp Blatter.”

FIFA are set to announce $15bn revenue from the World Cup, smashing even their own projections. It hasn’t been a tournament without controversy either, both before the World Cup or during it. No doubt this will mean FIFA will look on Infantino rather favourably, ahead of his 2027 re-election bid.

000

Intriguing first half. Not too many chances but the play has favoured Spain so far. They've been the better team, it feels like a matter of when, rather than if, for them.

000

I was wondering where Tom Cruise was in all of this. Glad I know now.

Really enjoyed writing this one. It's a (sadly) very common situation in football, but the way it happened is truly one of the most bizarre things I've seen in football. Read all about it here!

Utterly ridiculous game of football 😂 Who said the third place playoff isn't memorable?

Four goals Jeremy? That's insane.

Full time: Chasetown 3-1 Stourbridge There were only a handful of chances for either side in the second half, but Tak Sambizi managed to extend the lead for The Scholars and give them a somewhat comfortable victory in pre-season.

Half time: Chasetown 2-1 Stourbridge The Scholars go into the break ahead with two goals from Kyle Moseley to overturn Stourbridge's opener. The visitors looked to dominate early, but it levelled out as the half wore on, and it's Chasetown with the advantage at the break.

Pre season #2 Back at Chasetown once again as they take on Stourbridge at The Scholars Ground. A lot of work to do for Chasetown after their heavy defeat to Hednesford last week, meanwhile Stourbridge come into the game off the back of a 2-0 win at Stourport Swifts.
