Fifa bans England's Jarell Quansah for two games, meaning he misses Norway and a potential semi-final.

Quansah was sent off for serious foul play.

US striker Folarin Balogun, who was sent off for serious foul play, got one game which was suspended for 12 months...

Controversial opinion (especially after the Woltemade fee)

This is a bargain.

Steur has an extraordinarily high potential ceiling. Great business by #NUFC

[AFC Ajax @AFCAjax]

Ajax and Newcastle United have reached an agreement on the transfer of Sean Steur to the English club. The 18-year-old midfielder was under contract with Ajax until June 30, 2028. Ajax will receive a transfer fee that could amount to approximately EUR 27 million.

Privately educated man who has been a politician for a huge part of his adult life which has seen him receive £5m payments thinks he is not the establishment. If you follow or believe anything he says, you are a complete moron

[Pippa Crerar @PippaCrerar]

EXCL: The £5m gift to Nigel Farage by a cryptocurrency billionaire was reported to the National Crime Agency by bankers who were concerned it may have been laundered money - another big scoop by our @Annaisaac

Farage says he's "the most physically" attacked politician of our lifetimes.

He's said this before. Tell that to Jo Cox or David Amess.

Just a reminder that shortly after being appointed president in 2017 that Infantino was instrumental in a major FIFA overhaul that ousted the two independent co-chairmen of the Ethics Committee, Cornel Borbély and Hans-Joachim Eckert. At the time, the committee was actively investigating… Infantino

An absolute haymaker of a statement from the Belgian FA.

[Bayern & Germany @iMiaSanMia]

The #34 is a matter close to Saibari's heart and has a deeper meaning. It's a tribute to his friend Abdelhak Nouri who collapsed on the pitch in a friendly between Ajax and Werder Bremen in July 2017.

Saibari: “He survived but hasn’t been able to move unaided since then. I’m supporting him by wearing the 34, it was his last number."

[Fraser Nelson @FraserNelson]

NEW: The Times has established that Nigel Farage and his partner own at least five homes spanning Surrey, Essex and Kent.

All but one were bought with cash since 2000. Farage described himself as "skint" in 2017.

PSV and FC Bayern München have reached an agreement over the transfer of Ismael Saibari. 

Isi, this is the moment you have worked so incredibly hard for. Your dedication, talent and perseverance have earned you this next step in your career. We are proud of everything you have achieved in Eindhoven and we wish you all the very best in München.

Keep shining! ❤️

Forgive the picture of my TV but this is an absolutely wild World Cup fact

[Sam @SamCKx]

The more I dig, the more I realise that Nigel Farage is literally done for. It's over for him. The £5 million bung is big enough to take the entire Reform movement down and possibly land Nigel in jail.

1) The fact the donation was made BEFORE Nigel was MP is absolutely irrelevant. Parliamentary Code of Conduct requires all receipts for the full 12 months before election. Nigel receiving his bung just a few days before he announced his candidacy makes it so much worse, not better.

2) "Category 5: Gifts and benefits from sources outside the UK - THRESHOLD FOR REGISTRATION Section 39. Members must register, subject to the paragraphs below, any gifts or benefits with a value of over £300 which they receive from a source outside the UK."

Nigel argues this was 'purely personal' but the Code refers to partners or families when it comes to personal gifts... this takes us to the next issue...

3) Christopher Harborne has a long track record of making SUBSTANTIAL political contributions to Nigel's parties, first to The Brexit Party, and later to Reform. He is a POLITICAL DONOR - any "gift" he made to Farage CANNOT be argued as personal or without political context due to this track record.

4) Using his platform as an MP, Nigel went on to promote 2 companies in which Christopher Harborne holds $ billions in stock - Nigel NEVER publicly endorsed or mentioned these companies prior to the "gift". Nigel also began actively pushing for policy that would directly interest Christopher Harborne and his business affairs. These were not interests that any could argue could possibly be of interest to his constituents - deregulation of crypto, and lowering of taxes on crypto gains. Nigel spent a substantial amount of time and effort pushing these policies.

It is beyond a doubt that this is the biggest breach of Parliamentary Code of Conduct rules in relation to donations in parliamentary history.

But even more concerning for Nigel will be that if it can be proven he was secretly incentivised to use his public office to push for policies to support a wealthy donor, then he should very likely face a criminal probe for corruption and bribery. I suspect Harborne might also be exposed to this. The United Kingdom and Thailand have a bilateral extradition treaty. Maximum prison sentences of up to 10 years for the offence.

This is not going to go away.

@maxrushden And such an easy fix: always award a corner and let VAR decide.

The only ‘risk’ of an error is to award a goal-kick.

[Alan Lester @aljhlester]

Rarely has there been such a contrast between a PM’s performance and public perception of it. It tells you all you need to know about the polarising & pernicious influence of our media ecosystem, including even the BBC’s own TV News.

[Alex Taylor @AlexTaylorNews]

This kind of statement👇from an EU leader would have been unthinkable about all the other PMs the UK's flitted through since "taking back control"

It doesn't get much mention in the UK, but boring Starmer made 🇬🇧 look reliable and serious again after the clown show before him
