Very chuffed to get my hands on a copy of my book World Cup Fever - a story of the tournament told through my own nine World Cups. It's out in English and Dutch in early October, but you can already preorder it, e.g. here waterstones.com/book/world-cup…

The Premier League's economic contribution to the UK is about the same as that of the entire British agricultural sector (even leaving aside soft-power effects). Fascinating @FT editorial as.ft.com/r/f46853cd-935…

How does today's disunited world handle a crisis ? @fbirol, exec director of the @IEA, has been at the centre of the oil crisis. I followed him around through it. Conspiracy theorists ask, "Who really runs the world?" Answer now: 'Nobody'. Free to read as.ft.com/r/bbc3f0ed-1b1…

🆘 DON’T LOOK AWAY 🆘 The Islamic regime is going to hang Diana Taherabadi because she participated in the January protests. She’s only 16. This is pure barbarism. Share this before they kill her. #IranMassacre #StopExecutionsInIran

I'd always thought there was room for a smart politician to leverage his/her genuine love of football but I don't think I've seen it done better than by Mamdani - see also his push for cheaper World Cup tix and free fanzones in NYC

J'ai bien aimé ce nouveau bouquin de Miloš Starovic, qui parle avec amour de la Russie d'avant, et avec désespoir du pays d'aujourd'hui. Une connaissance intime et un voyage douloureux. Mes félicitations pour La fin d'une ère

Electric car sales rose to new records in nearly 100 countries in 2025 – and close to 30% of all cars sold globally this year are set to be electric Battery price declines & policy responses to the current energy crisis can add to EVs' momentum More ➡️ iea.li/4dz7xAO

An honour and a pleasure to talk energy and climate with @fbirol and Güler Sabanci at @GazeteOksijen's "Beyond Climate" conference in Istanbul last week. Also a little bit of football talk at the end. Wishing Oksijen all the very best

If you thing is e.g. Stan Bowles in QPR strip or Neeskens sliding to score against Brazil or your daughter rocketing a shot into the top corner, send him a photo and he'll use it as the model for a drawing

This is to commission Huthyfa, the Iraqi artist, to do personalised football art for you. He sends you the drawing as a file, and you get your local print shop to print it out at top quality

@KuperSimon thanks please DM huthyfaz@gmail for requests ASAP

All this is particularly helpful given that Iraqi economy has crashed due to blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. People are suffering. Help him, and get yourself the football drawing you always wanted
