BREAKING NEWS: Jill Biden's Secret Service agent shoots himself while accompanying former first lady through Philadelphia airport

@SpursOfficial Always COYS though, forever 🤍

@SpursOfficial If we do go down the only blessing will be that we'll finally get rid of some dead wood and consistently under-performing 'stars' (Richarlison, Bentancur, Vicario to name just three) but I do worry about what the team will look like in August, whichever division we're in.

Full-time.

@israel_ajoje I don't think you 'wrote' it at all. Lots of clues to AI-generated slop disguised as insight combined with arrogance and naivety. But you carry on, it's really not that deep.

@iamjoebrown I'm sorry Joe You don't have to read it. If it's too long for you, I didn't write it for you.

You must be wondering why. Let me put this into better perspective for you. A coach that the Champions League and Premier League got sacked for not winning the Community Shield and UEFA super cup. That's what happened here. Earlier today, Filipe Luís watched his Flamengo side dismantle Madureira 8–0 in the Campeonato Carioca semi-final, securing progression to the final in emphatic fashion. Hours later, he was dismissed. The timing feels contradictory but it will only feel like that to you if football decisions are judged by single scorelines. Flamengo does not operate that way. Institutions of that scale rarely react to one match; they react to direction. The 2026 season had already introduced instability. Flamengo lost the Supercopa do Brasil final to Corinthians and fell in the CONMEBOL Recopa Sudamericana against Lanús. Performances were described as physically inconsistent and technically below the standard established the previous year. For a club built on continental ambition, early-season irregularity is interpreted as an early signal, not a temporary inconvenience and the sack is a reaction to that. Filipe Luís took over in September 2024 following Tite’s departure and quickly stabilised the squad before delivering a Brasileirão and Copa Libertadores double in 2025. That success sort of changed the internal benchmark for him. Once a manager demonstrates elite capacity, tolerance for regression narrows significantly. Winning changes the margin for error. He is a victim of his own standards. I feel sorry for him. Moreover, beyond results, there were reports of tension beneath the surface. There were reports that his communication style, tactical management, and dressing room atmosphere were sources of dissatisfaction among segments of the squad. Contract renewal negotiations, which extended his deal until 2027, are said to have created distance between the technical staff and senior leadership. Obviously, alignment between coach and board is often invisible to supporters, but it remains decisive in governance decisions. The 8–0 victory did not reverse those concerns because the evaluation had already moved beyond immediate optics. Flamengo’s leadership appears to have concluded that trajectory and cohesion matter more than a dominant semi-final performance against domestic opposition. High-expectation clubs do not wait for decline to become irreversible. They intervene at the first sustained sign of drift. That culture is unforgiving, but it is consistent. Recent trophies elevate status but they do not secure immunity. In high-expectation clubs, yesterday’s trophies do not insure tomorrow’s patience. And at Flamengo, patience is the rarest currency of all. Filipe Luís’ dismissal was not about one extraordinary night. It was about whether the curve was still ascending. And from the looks of the Flamengo management, it wasn't. And that was why he was sacked. What do you think? My name is Ajoje and I am International Sports LAwyer and FIFA Licensed Agent.

@BBCSport We do it in @FootballManager all the time, what's the fuss?

Michael O'Neill is set to be Northern Ireland AND Blackburn Rovers manager at the same time! 😅 The Northern Ireland boss is set to take over at Ewood Park initially in a joint role until the end of the season 🤝 If a deal with the Irish FA is agreed quickly, O'Neill could be in charge for Saturday's game against Queens Park Rangers. Northern Ireland face Italy in a World Cup play-off semi-final in March and then either Wales or Bosnia-Herzegovina in a final or friendly, depending on the result in Bergamo. O'Neill is expected to be involved for both matches and, if Northern Ireland qualify against the odds, for the World Cup finals 🏆 The 56-year-old could then take over as manager at Blackburn, who are in the Championship's relegation zone, on a permanent basis.

Bad Bunny walked out in a #64 jersey with “OCASIO” on the back. Not Bad Bunny. Not Benito. His real name. His family name. Then he grabbed the mic and said: “My name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio. And if today I’m here at the Super Bowl, it’s because I never, never stopped believing in myself.” In Spanish. No translation. Even the jumbotron was in Spanish. And I watched the whole thing with a translator on. Because the message was that important to me. They said he was “un-American.” They said nobody would understand him. They said having him perform was “ridiculous.” And he SHOWED OUT! He brought out Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin. He staged a wedding on the field. He recreated a bodega. He gave us a whole scene of family and love. He humanized an entire culture on the world’s biggest stage. All in his native language. And he didn’t flinch. His lyrics were clear messages: “They want to take the river from me, and the beach too. They want my neighborhood and for my grandma to leave.” “I should have taken more photos when I had you. Hopefully my loved ones will never move.” And that last line: “Ojalá que los míos nunca se muden.” Hopefully my loved ones will never move. That’s about families being separated. Forced to leave. Displacement. Yeah, he didn’t chase the mainstream. He made the mainstream come to him. He put his family name on his back and told 120 million people exactly who he is. And I’m here for ALL of it!👏🏽

@HLTCO Nope

Is there a world in which Spurs fans welcome back Postecoglou?

@HLTCO Why is it even a booking for taking a shirt off? What's the reasoning? Seems so archaic, and even more so in this case.

Getting booked for things like this is a disgrace in my view. Exercise common sense.

@ExtremeFootbal4 Aaron Lennon 💥

Who is this footballer???

@ExtremeFootbal4 @kebab in his formative years

Who here has watched a game at Highfield Road? Hands up!

@CoMacDo Yeah, he used to play for them mate

Just noticed this on Kane's profile pic 😁

@p____67 Netherlands 93 Italy 97 Croatia 08 Italy 03 What point are you making exactly? What are they supposed to do about it?

Here’s a conspiracy theory for you. Infact it’s no even a conspiracy theory, it’s fact. England have never played a top team in qualification for any tournament ever.

Nice to get an on-air shoutout 🗣️❤️ @BobRutler handled the in-vision flip perfectly 👍🏼 No kittens anywhere to be seen. Catch up on the latest episode of our pilot of visualising #CanaryCall on @BBCNorfolk here: bbc.in/3InBiZA #ncfc #director #localradio @BBCLookEast
