This is quite a fundamental difference between him and Lionel Messi.

Messi didn’t even post about breaking the record yesterday.

And immediately after winning a huge game Ronaldo is shouting about himself.

England v Ghana is the World Cup’s only group-stage match where both countries' capitals sit right on the Prime Meridian

England has London, where the Prime Meridian was fixed. Ghana has Accra, the only other world capital to sit on the zero degree longitude line.

Stay tuned for more cutting-edge, geography-based World Cup analysis.

🇦🇺 1991 Tooheys 1000 - Top 10 Shoot Out.

Car 05

🇦🇺 Peter Brock - 🇦🇺 Andrew Miedecke - Holden VN Commodore SS Group A SV

We follow a lap with the legend Peter Brock as he drives the Holden to the absolute limits with the practice engine trying secure top spot in the Tooheys Top 10.

The opposite lock out of the chase 🔥

Brocks lap would see him 6th overall with a 2:16:071 so unfortunately the moments cost time.

The fastest time was set by Mark Skaife in the Nissan Skyline GT-R at 2:12:630. 🤯

Brock and Miedecke would finish the event 7th overall.

This showed Brock and no doubt the rest of the teams how much of an advantage the R32 GT-R had and why it gained the nickname “Godzilla”

An Independent Disciplinary Commission has today expelled Southampton from the Sky Bet Championship Play-Offs after the Club admitted to multiple breaches of EFL Regulations related to the unauthorised filming of other Clubs’ training.

In addition, the Club has received a four-point deduction that will be applied to the 2026/27 Championship table.

The effect of today’s order is that Middlesbrough are reinstated into the 2026 Play-Offs and will proceed to the Play-Off Final against Hull City. The final remains scheduled for Saturday 23 May, with the kick-off time to be confirmed.

Southampton Football Club was famous to the rest of the football world for losing 9-0 twice and now they can add being the first team to be kicked out the playoffs for CHEATING!

The absolute shame 😭😭😭

@brightonsnapper They paused the support/running of their BTCC race team last year, I believe to poor health? This might be linked sadly

[Simon Burtenshaw @BurtSTig]

Just pack up and go home. How many warnings is someone upstairs giving us about this race #motogp

Skipping French lessons? That’s where they draw the line?

[Paul Embery @PaulEmbery]

I predict:

Birmingham - loss
Portsmouth - loss
Blackburn - loss
Lincoln - loss
Burnley - win
Watford - loss
Norwich - loss

That's not Labour tonight. It's Tottenham next season.

Unusual find in a London car boot sale today - the official programme for the 1952 Belgian GP. And what fantastic tortoise and hare graphics! Not a bad buy for £1...:
