Luka Modrić in a Milan shirt, wearing the captain's armband, just feels right.

Please, UEFA. I know you're no saints, but do everything in your power to free football, and all of us, from Infantino.

He is a disgrace.

🟥⬛ Today was Franco Baresi's funeral in Milan as thousands gathered to pay their respects in the city.

Baresi joined AC Milan at 14-years old and by 18 he was a starter for the first team. By 22 he became the club captain and went on to play 719 matches in the black and red. Forever a legend.

76 years ago, Ray Bradbury published "There Will Come Soft Rains," an apocalyptic short story about a time when we have wiped ourselves out—but our AI obliviously continues automating our empty smart homes.

Bradbury set the story on August 4, 2026.

Ver Maldini chorando no funeral de Franco Baresi é entender que algumas conexões vão muito além do futebol.

Juntos, formaram a maior dupla de defensores da história. Os títulos impressionam, mas a amizade, a liderança e o amor ao Milan os tornaram imortais.

Baresi eterno ♾️

Marco Van Basten, Roberto Donadoni, Demetrio Albertini, Massimo Ambrosini y Alessandro Costacurta cargando el féretro de Franco Baresi en su último adiós.

Un gran acto de amor y respeto para el que fue su Capitano durante tantos años. ❤️🖤

This is absolutely damning.

I’ll say it again, Martyn Ziegler should be held in the highest esteem for the work he’s done over the last couple of weeks. The textbook definition of what journalism is all about.

It shouldn’t be forgotten that he was key in breaking the failed Super League breakaway too. 👏

Wow:

🤯🇩🇪 When Manuel Neuer produced this world class performance against Porto and caught world attention. He was 21-years-old. 🧤

I would like to express my sincere thanks to @martynziegler from The Times, whose investigative journalism exposed the machinations surrounding Gianni Infantino.
To me, he is the hero of the year.

Thank you! Football fans all over the world owe you a debt of gratitude.

[Cheryl Lu-Lien Tan 陳如蓮 @cheryltan88]

Can we just replay the whole #WorldCup2026 without @FIFAWorldCup interference? Seriously.

[Martyn Ziegler @martynziegler]

How Gianni Infantino engineered World Cup to sell his doomed plan.

[Matthew Syed @matthewsyed]

Infantino would have got away with it if not for @thetimes and the brilliant reporting of @martynziegler. A free press (and the subscribers who fund it) remains a crucial bulwark against the abuse of power

[Martyn Ziegler @martynziegler]

The Cristiano decision days after their White House dinner, hydration breaks, the Trump peace prize, crazy ticket prices, the half-time show and then Balogun...

How Infantino engineered the World Cup to sell his doomed plan. https://t.co/JphsOm9kSz

[David Clarke ☭ 🇵🇸 🇨🇺 🚩 @david_clarke91]

The World Cup belongs to the whole World not Infantino and certainly not the Trump-Kushner crime family.

Football is for the Billions. Not the Billionaires.

If Infantino's plan goes tits up in the next couple of days there also needs to be a full investigation into how much US Soccer knew about this deal. If they were aware of it they should be suspended from FIFA
