Thousands of expensive tickets to the World Cup remain unsold one week from the tournament’s start.
There appear to be two ways FIFA can get rid of them before it has to slash prices ⬇️

@SomBish86 @DanTalkSports The 8 best third-place teams (out of 12 total) qualify for the knockouts, so there's absolutely no way Morocco would be the only African team to qualify

Betting "tipster" that doesn't even understand the World Cup format

I can’t see how this loses… Morocco should easily win their group and I can’t see any other African team even making out of theirs

@ByronicEnigma @kibinurnberg @Millar_Colin The right plan being appointing Thomas Frank and sacking him after he turned out to be worse?
English
@kibinurnberg @Millar_Colin Spurs the 4th biggest improvers in the league, shows that for all the criticism they took at the time over sacking Ange after he took them to European glory, they had the right plan.

@eRotation @FT Unfortunately I don't think the people voting Reform are the ones reading these pieces / changing their vote because of it
English
Reform’s victory in Staffordshire, a rural county in the centre of England, ushered in a new army of councillors. Most had no experience of local government or even each other.
Since then, complaints about the behaviour of councillors have rocketed. ft.trib.al/mNnLTCJ

@thsbalad @riverlittler @Kish_P14 Exactly - he goes against the current sentiment to generate interest

@riverlittler @Kish_P14 I don’t think pro immigration sentiment is exactly popular in England, especially audience his audience.

@Meri1320708 @SnakeJaguar7 @cherrymcgic Not true, that's only for one semester or one year study abroad schemes, not a full Bachelor's or Master's course

@NickKallipolits @TheAthleticFC What? We've had 4 in the Premier League, 7 in all comps
English
@TheAthleticFC The rhetoric that Frank has tightened up the defence is simply lazy, basing into off the result. The team has been saved by Vicario multiple times, Tottenham has had only 1 clean sheet.
English
Tottenham made more substitutions (6) and racked up more yellow cards (4) than shots (3) in an abject defeat by rivals Chelsea.
Thomas Frank said that it “hurts massively”.
“I have never been in charge of a team that has created that little in one game,” he added.
But the hurt was magnified by public displays of dissent by players and fans.
It is getting difficult to ignore the parallels between Frank and the ill-fated tenure of Nuno Espirito Santo, writes @jaydmharris.

@AdamCrafton_ Say a prayer for those who bought a ticket at $473 with the hope of selling at a higher price

NEW:
Last twist of FIFA Club World Cup pricing strategy. 72 hours ago, standard admission ticket for first semi-final (Chelsea v Fluminense) at $473.90.
By yesterday, $44.60. Now $13.40. Those who bought on Wednesday paid a 35x multiple of price today

@jeremythomas212 @ShepherdWales @TorstenBell Students haven't done their A-Levels by the time they apply - so they have predicted grades but GCSEs are the only obtained grades

@ShepherdWales @TorstenBell Is it based on GCSE? Or A levels?
