No Scrubs and Don't Look Back in Anger are in the Top 40, and City are heading for League 2. The 90s really are back

Some children braving the heat for a riverside kickabout next to the Pont Vieux beneath the Cathédral St Nazaire. Ordinary games in these settings are some of my favourite football pictures to get! 📌 Béziers, France 🇫🇷 2026

Relatively weak compared to UEFA - the objection seems more about the process than the idea - but good enough. It's done. Infantino's done.

Infantino must be absolutely reeling tonight on discovering that some people do actually care about football.

An incredible statement. Absolutely the right thing to do, but I'm still slightly surprised they've actually done it. There simply is no World Cup without UEFA - hopefully this kills Infantino's plans and starts his own downfall.

It would've been difficult for him to come up with a more disgusting statement than this. A man with zero self-awareness and absolutely no concept of why people were critical of him and his MAGA, cash-first, corrupt World Cup. I really miss Sepp Blatter.

There's something about the morality-free, fawning glee with which they uncritically look upon anyone with money and power, that makes Cristiano Ronaldo, Fabrizio Romano and Gianni Infantino very much brothers in modern football.

Messi just ran down the wing and put a goal on a plate for a £150 million striker, watched him mess it up so took the rebound and just did it himself, aged 39.

15 year old me would never have believed I'd grow up to live in a world where I can say something about food and a few minutes later I'm being yelled at about colonialism by a cartoon porn account called Yoichi's Genital Sock Puppet

I will never understand how Americans, of all the people on earth, are as smug as they are about food.

Classic 'minor country at the World Cup' performance by the South African keeper, veering wildly from great save to great save, via letting a shot from outside the box go between his legs.

Ultras take any excuse to set off their smoke, even if it's a friendly no one else has turned up for. Few get to to do it with a view like Lake Atitlán behind them, though. The stadium can be seen in the top right of the last picture. 📌 San Pedro de Laguna, Guatemala 🇬🇹 2024

On the one hand, him going to Chelsea instead of Liverpool is hilarious. On the other hand, he might spoil everyone's fun and make Chelsea vaguely competent again. Not sure how to feel

I love that France have Mbappe, Dembele, Doué, Olise, Barcola and Cherki up front but are still scraping around for Kante and Rabiot in midfield. Brazil 1970 style squad building.

I've had a soft spot for Brentford that goes back a long way. I think it's only right they repay me for that support today with a 3-0 win.

If they want to play songs at half time, it's not for me but whatever. But as soon as they start rearranging the football to fit around the "entertainment", something has gone totally wrong.

Two years ago today, and the most worried I've ever been for my safety at a football match. El Clásico Vallecaucano, the derby match in Colombia's wildest city, Cali. ⚽ Deportivo Cali v América de Cali 📌 Estadio Deportivo Cali, California, Colombia 🇨🇴 2024

Three years ago today, the Derby della Capitale, where the home fans did monkey chants and one ran down three rows to start on me for taking pictures of the away end. As a hostel owner in Naples told me after, 'Everyone hates Lazio.' ⚽ Lazio v Roma 📌 Stadio Olimpico, Rome, Italy 🇮🇹 2023

It's getting harder and harder to have a 'spare' £50 these days, but if you do jump in on helping with this. In a world of ragebaiters and Fabrizio Romanos, @glorystudio.bsky.social is the kind of sport journalism we should all try to support (and this book will be beautiful!)

This is what happens when a ref lets a player get away with whatever he wants. Caicedo should've been booked ages ago and Taylor did nothing to rein him in
