The World Cup is humanity’s greatest global gathering, its sporting apex. Who does Gianni Infantino think he is to wantonly sell it off to the Trump mafia and venture capitalists for his own personal gain? #OutFantino #ForTheGoodOfTheGame

Infantino: ‘This is about the democratisation of football worldwide.’ #OutFantino #ForTheGoodOfTheGame

Remarkably, if you were listening to the BBC’s commentary you wouldn’t even hear mention of the possibility that a two-footed aerial challenge on a striker through on goal could be a penalty. Unremarkably, another World Cup refereeing team failed to give a key decision to the lower-ranked nation.

…And the rest of it. It was brutal. Not just for neutral, but for supporters like yourself who - more than two days later - go to such lengths in a vain attempt to defend it.

In your opinion.

They defended very well. Tony Pulis would have been proud of it. Does ‘absolutely nothing from open play’ equate to 21 shots, 3 ‘big chances’, and the penalty PSG scored from?

It’s the cost to build the two squads that faced each other last night. This PSG squad, while still extraordinarily expensive, cost less than the decadent one it replaced.

Is it good for football - as a sport - that one of the best resourced clubs ever elects to kick off with rugby-style up+unders, defend the 18-yard-line + have less possession than any Champions League Final team ever? As a neutral did you go out of your way to watch Dyche’s Everton or Pulis’ Stoke?

Arsenal. Merited winners of this Premier League season. open.spotify.com/show/5jLvGRf...

Paris Saint-Germain triumph at another cathedral of European football to reach another Champions League Final. Superb collectively, so many superb individual performances, but Warren Zaire-Emery at right back against that Bayern attack? Exceptional. #BAYPSG podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

Bernardo Silva: ‘I’ve been in this position three times I would say. Against Liverpool and against Arsenal, the treble season. ‘And it feels good when it looks like no one believes in you and then out of nowhere you have a chance again.’ #MCIARS www.youtube.com/@transferspo...

Since the beginning of last season Paris Saint-Germain have beaten: • Manchester City • Aston Villa • Tottenham • Arsenal - twice • Chelsea - twice • Liverpool - three times ‘Best League in the world’™ open.spotify.com/show/5jLvGRf...

Harry Maguire: ‘I still believe, even at my age, I’m arguably one of the best defenders in the world in both boxes. ‘I don’t think that’s open to question, really.’ open.spotify.com/show/5jLvGRf...

PSG played football. Liverpool played like Sean Dyche’s Everton. #PSGLIV apple.co/3XQNQOv

Descanse em paz, o grande Silvino Louro. Silvino excelled as a goalkeeper, winning 11 titles in Portugal; captaining his country. Silvino excelled as a goalkeeping coach, winning 2 Champions Leagues amongst 25 titles as a key part of Jose Mourinho’s best staff. One of football’s truly good guys.
