🫡 The BBC's World Cup 2026 montage is utterly sensational. x.com/alexewing_/sta…

Some sad news to bring you. Former England player and manager Kevin Keegan has passed away at the age of 75 after battling cancer. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.

@Bulgatosek @LDNFootbalI Says wojtek from Poland 👌

@LDNFootbalI he is no longer welcome in London

Enzo Fernández will now have a 3-week break before joining the Chelsea squad for pre-season… ✅

I cherish Enzo Fernández's unfazed attitude. He walked past players who are not Chelsea-related.

A young autistic boy shared advice with Marc Cucurella on how to make his autistic son, Mateo, happier. Cucurella wrote down every word, broke down in tears, and went on to produce one of the best performances of the World Cup for his son.🥹✨

This has been a Tuchel tactical masterclass. Take us home, Thomas! 👊👊👊👊

Ahead of England's World Cup semi-final, we visited a Scottish community who are suddenly discovering their Argentinian roots... 18+ GambleAware

My UFC credential has already been revoked so I’ve got nothing to lose. Here’s the truth: Conor & team informed Dana earlier in the week that he had a knee injury. Dana told them the show MUST go on. No refunds. Because of the financial implications McGregor was forced to try. People inside became aware that McGregor was comprised, and THAT’S why the betting line moved significantly prior to walkouts. But since in excess of 80% + of the bets AND money legally wagered were on McGregor, this allowed the UFC’s sportsbook partners to win tens of millions in profit from unsuspecting (and uninformed) customers. Shameful and disgusting business practice for the sake of pure greed, all at the expense of their own fans.

FUTBOL IS LIFE 🙌 Cristo Fernandez, known for playing Dani Rojas in Ted Lasso, made his professional debut on Saturday. Fernandez was a 79th-minute substitute in El Paso Locomotive's USL Cup game vs. New Mexico United ❤️‍🔥

A tourist was seriously injured Friday evening after being thrown 8 feet into the air by a bull bison in Yellowstone National Park. Professional photographer Mike Macleod filmed the incident and said the bison was "angry, agitated and charging anything and everything." (No audio)

zlatan absolutely fried madueke 😭😭😭

I was very fortunate to have attended @ChelseaFC 83/84 reunion event a couple of years ago. It’s safe to say Ken Bates stole the show. Thank you Ken 💙 Carefree ⭐️⭐️

Ken Bates saved Chelsea. Not only back in 1982 when Bates rescued the club from potential oblivion. But still now, even following the sad news of his passing aged 94, Bates’ legacy continues to protect Chelsea. He created the CPO, Chelsea Pitch Owners, which safeguards the future of the stadium. Bates achieved much in an extraordinary life. He fought to protect the FA Cup, fought for the new Wembley to be built, stabilised Leeds United and fought for smaller clubs but his greatest legacy revolves around Chelsea. Combative, controversial, loyal and principled in his way, Bates was driven by a desire to prove himself, to make something of himself, to take on the establishment in its varied forms. Much of this drive stemmed from memories of growing up without parents (his mother died, his father disappeared and he was raised by his grandparents) and frustration at a childhood disability destroying his dream of making it as a footballer at Arsenal. He'd been a good attacker. It was April 2 1982, when Bates rescued Chelsea. He spoke to the club bankers who’d run out of patience. “We have two cheques here,” the bank told Bates. “One is for the share of the (FA Cup) gate which has to go to the FA. And one is the players’ wages. Which one can we bounce?” He came in, invested money to tide the club over and started cutting costs. Entering the Bridge boardroom for the first time pre-match, Bates was shocked to see the number of guests, the feast laid on, even a cigar box being passed around at a club losing £12,000 a week. Chelsea even had a club chauffeur. Not for long. Bates’ cost-cutting was brutal but vital. Chelsea recovered, fought off property developers through Bates’ strength of personality, established themselves as a force in the Premier League and became more involved in European competition. Bates loved Chelsea. He loved entertainers. His favourite was Gianfranco Zola because the Italian played with a smile, dribbled and lit up stadiums and fans’ lives. Even after selling to Roman Abramovich in 2003, taking over Leeds where his cost-cutting (and Chelsea past) alienated many fans, and then living in retirement with his beloved Suzannah in Monaco, Bates would try and return to watch matches at the Bridge. He kept a flat full of mementos nearby. On the sideboard was a framed copy of Bates’ CPO share. One day while Chelsea chairman, a fan shouted about the possibility of “your grandson sells the land for houses”. Bates’ initial reaction was, typically, “You ungrateful bastard”. But he realised that was a very real threat – the Bridge was prime London land. Developers craved it. So Bates created the CPO; it now numbers 13,000 fans owning 23,000 individual shares (Thomas Tuchel has one) and a large majority would be required to vote for any change in use of the pitch. And they aren’t for change. As Bates intended. We last spoke on May 18. Ken sounded frail but was typically opinionated on the footballing issues of the day. Bates had his difficult side, vendettas and views, but he was passionate about family, football and Chelsea FC. RIP, Ken.

So tomorrow we play Norway in the World Cup QF ⚽️ I remember when they beat us 45 years ago... not so much the game but the Norwegian commentator 🤣

I’m absolutely dying 🤣 Old Australian newspaper ad gone wrong. Guy selling his house writes what he thinks is a normal line at the bottom. Reporter sees it, shows up to confront him… and the interview is pure gold. You’ll see what I mean 😂😂

@MoonlightMLB @JoeDoyleMiLB @RedbirdFarmhand @BogenpohlCaden Incredibly under rated tweet 👏

@JoeDoyleMiLB @RedbirdFarmhand @BogenpohlCaden Has power from Bogenpohl to Bogenpohl

Ladies and gentlemen… Caden Bogenpohl. 110 to 114 over and over with DAMAGE. Popped a 119.4 EV that got a rise from the scouts in attendance.

John Stones wishing Kane had skied the shot against DR Congo over the bar.

@BarryAnderson_ is he midge's boy?

The new Scotland manager needs to cap Robbie Ure in Slovenia on 26 Sept. Scored 11 goals in 11 league games for Sirius in Sweden. Age 22, qualifies for Ukraine through a grandparent. SFA can't afford to overlook goalscoring No.9s like this. #TartanArmy 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Terry Thompson lost $1.5 million on bets he placed with FanDuel. The company gave him VIP treatment — including a personalized video message from the Phillies' Bryce Harper.

A couple of people asked why I call it the Dougie Donnelly Test, after they nattered away during fans singing Wonderwall. Here at the 07 Scottish League Cup final, Dougie shows all his broadcasting nous and allows viewers to hear Hibs fans sing Sunshine on Leith. Pure magic.
