I hope those of you that follow me will be able to support, and promote, this effort to return @bradwsports to the press box where he belongs. https://t.co/y0B4Au5qyo

Tell me Marcelo spoke about this, please.

God, what an embarrassment. There, I said it. I'm not Lee Greenwood, I'm EMBARRASSED to be an American.

🚨🚨| Uruguay national team was subjected to 𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐒𝐄 security screening upon arrival in the US ahead of their World Cup opener.

Sniffer dogs were deployed as players’ luggage underwent thorough inspection on the roadside next to the team bus. 😳

@cntraveller Ummm ...

[Christopher Bailey @CEBaileySports]

@leeds_utd_news @LeFoot225 What happened to Morita (also of Sporting)?

[Christopher Bailey @CEBaileySports]

@MatthewCappucci At the very least they should go see the film PRESSURE. Sigh.

[Christopher Bailey @CEBaileySports]

Hydration breaks for the players? No problem.

Hydration for thirsty supporters in the stands? Not so fast, my friend. #FIFA wants more of YOUR money.

FIFA code of conduct a month ago;

“For avoidance of doubt, empty, transparent, reusable plastic bottles, up to [1 liter in] capacity, may be brought into the Stadium.”

Now policy says:

“For avoidance of doubt, reusable water bottles may not be brought into the stadium.”

@alelufc_ I never yelled so loudly as this goal. I was never so numb after losing on aggregate.

@SagaRemove542 @Bob_Loblaw2022 @archi_tradition Curious, 900 Pounds sterling? USD here. Cheers!

[Christopher Bailey @CEBaileySports]

@MattCrowe__ Leeds in peace ... watched plenty of Summerville in focus, today. Not always giving 100% but as someone who was looking forward to him having another helping of humble pie, I can't deny that when he was on, he impressed.

[Christopher Bailey @CEBaileySports]

@UrbanCourtyard So you're suggesting the plaza in front of the Seagram building in New York is poor planning policy?

[Christopher Bailey @CEBaileySports]

@RepJackKimble Gen Con? Respect!

[Christopher Bailey @CEBaileySports]

Bad enough to be doing this but to be doing it as club captain?

If I were gaffer, he'd never wear the strip again.

[Hotspur Lane @HotspurLane]

🚨 #THFC Captain Cristian Romero at the training ground of his boyhood club Belgrano, who he has decided to prioritise instead of the club that pay his wages and could potentially be relegated in 3 days time…

Absolutely disgraceful! 🤬🇦🇷

[Christopher Bailey @CEBaileySports]

All those surprised say "aye!"

[Travis Akers 🇺🇸 @travisakers]

FIFA officials are becoming increasingly worried about World Cup attendance due to hotel cancellations, as international fans are deciding against traveling to the U.S. for the tournament, citing Donald Trump, high costs, visa bonds, and security concerns as their deterrents.

[Christopher Bailey @CEBaileySports]

@dunne_insightss My goodness, really? Why were we seeing headlines like this then? Clearly something changed ... but what? Sadly the story I'm citing just gave numbers, not insight as to why.

Nice to see them taking their jobs seriously.

Protein shakes? 3.4 oz or less, but rotisserie chickens??? As many as you can fit in your carry-on.

[Christopher Bailey @CEBaileySports]

At least ...

[EFL Communications @EFL_Comms]

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.

@jean_twenge A few states are missing, any idea why?

AUSTRALIA calling the Trump brand toxic? If you're Trump, leaning right and can't get Australians to like you, you've really screwed up somewhere.

[CNN International @cnni]

Plans to build Australia’s first Trump Tower have been scrapped just three months after it was announced, with the local developer saying the Trump brand has become “toxic" https://t.co/yLnNEiNqwD

@DavidRi63119025 @Chicago_History Ceiling* clearance

[Christopher Bailey @CEBaileySports]

@DavidRi63119025 @Chicago_History The parking concession keeps several (6-12, perhaps ... I don't know exactly, I eyeballed it) spots for vehicles they can't take up for any number of reasons, feeling clearance included. Long way of saying: they could have parked you but it may well have stayed at ground level.
