What is on the outside is not critical, it is the inside that counts. Stay safe and don't be selfish.

By far my favourite Scotland vs Brazil story is the referee saying “Good luck, may the best team win” to both captains before the game in 1982 and Graeme Souness replying “I fucking hope not”

[Will Hutton @williamnhutton]

Starmer is resigning because he became unreasonably hated - partly because of too many self-inflicted mistakes and partly because social media+Farage +the wider right have created a loathing and hatred culture. Burnham is right to seek time to prepare. The same forces await him.

@RealTimVine Great accompanying videos for both Devo and B52s - loved travelling home by train and saw a woman wearing a plastic Devo flowerpot all the way to Kensal Green Station. A true spud.

[John Simpson @JohnSimpsonNews]

Absolutely magnificent!

Excellent tribute

First ex-Bedford Town (The Eagles) player to receive an OBE?

[Cliff Jones MBE @Cliff_Jones11]

Proud and humbled to receive this MBE. It was an honour to me to represent my beloved Wales and pull on the red dragon shirt. I share this with all my teammates and my wonderful wife Joan and family 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[Gordon Brown @GordonBrown]

Delighted to be in the USA watching Scotland play Haiti tonight, honouring a promise I made to my youngest many years ago that if Scotland qualified we'd go together to see them play... and hopefully win.

@legsidelizzy Whilst not sporting related, I did that every day of my working life

I stopped using Twitter some time ago, but will make an exception today:

As Elon today becomes the world’s first trillionaire, I wholeheartedly approve of this cropping up at a bus stop near the Tesla flagship showroom in Tottenham.

❤️ London.

Don’t ❤️ Musk.

There is SO much wrong with FIFA & football in general. But as a mate of mine posted on Facebook recently, he was so appalled by the corruption he was not going to watch Qatar 2022. So only watched the opening match. And the next 63 matches.

Love the game. Hate the industry 4/3

[Nahuel Lanzón @nahuelzn]

🇸🇴 Nunca vi algo así. En Somalia hoy se llenó un estadio para recibir como héroe nacional a Omar Artan, el árbitro al que Estados Unidos le negó la entrada al Mundial. Increíble.

[Nick Harris @sportingintel]

Infantino thinks he’s an international statesman. The reality is he has blood on his hands thanks to his relationships with Putin, Qatar, Trump and MBS. An appalling human and a worse FIFA president than Blatter. But enjoy the World Cup!

[John Wight @JohnWight1]

Even Hitler's Germany did not prevent athletes and officials from entering the country to take part in the 1936 Olympics.

This is pristine racism and @FIFAcom stands disgraced for allowing Trump to disfigure the beautiful game in this way.

[David Aaronovitch @DAaronovitch]

This man was banned because of his nationality and for no other reason. FIFA did nothing to help him, not even lodge a protest. Ugh https://t.co/6ayCu4CPd9

How to sneak a chocolate bar into a FIFA World Cup match in the USA

@rcfoster @kevinhatchard Explains why Paul Smyth (QPR) wasn't selected, although suspect that being Irish may not have helped either.

[Swearing Sports News @SwearingSport]

Jürgen Klinsmann: “There were 70,000 people, we were warming up seriously. While ‘Live Is Life’ was playing, Maradona started juggling the ball. We stopped warming up, because there was nothing more we could do except watch him.”
