David Beckham and a Manchester United bid – what could go wrong? | Marina Hyde

There is no more elegant pivot than moaning about the World Cup in Qatar to begging a Gulf state to come and buy your club

Yeah I read that over the weekend. Becoming just another sportswashing project is my biggest fear. That’s worse than the seemingly managed decline under the invasive leech species from Florida.

I can’t engage with muted sport. I need to feel the atmosphere.

You absolutely would if JP Delacamra was lead commentator-
"Settles" (controls the ball)
"Deflection" (defender clears, goalkeeper saves)
Count 'em, has to be in the hundreds per game

Wrexham are top of the National league again! Can't wait for season 2 of that show. Really hope they get promoted this go around

If the US win later today, and if England win later today, the US would play the winner from Group A. It’ll most likely be Netherlands unless Ecuador win and better Netherlands GD.

Senegal has made that interesting!

Derek Rae should call all the games

Agree except he has Ali Wagner as co commentator who's always banging on about transition and shots 'on frame' instead of on target or on goal. Please.

I would absolutely prefer England to play Senegal over Ecuador. They are a tough nut to crack and dangerous on the break.

They could just call EA Sports to obtain his vocals and have an AI call the game just like FIFA22. You'd get your robots this way too!

If you’re using FIFA AI you could just use the UK version with Martin Tyler and Alan Smith, got to be preferable…

Cristiano Ronaldo: Adidas technology proves Portugal captain did not score opener against Uruguay at World Cup

Cristiano Ronaldo claims he got a faint touch with his head to score Portugals opener in their win over Uruguay; Bruno Fernandes credited with goal by FIFA; Adidas technology inside match ball proves Ronaldo did not touch Manchester United midfielders cross

all games are only at streaming and pay tv but it´s only been some of the early games and now one of the parallel games.
The free to air tv seems to have made a bad call with ned - quat . glad they chose iran vs usa for tonight
