One of England's all-time greatest captains, Ben Stokes, has decided to retire from international cricket at the end of this Test match.
Ben, you have been the most inspirational captain, leader and legend this team could have ever hoped for.
We love you so much and wish you all the best in your retirement ❤️
England will never be the same again.

“Virat Kohli is the cricketer from India, who is the third most followed athlete in the world after Ronaldo and Messi”.

You will never see a player like this again in football never ever….. and DONT reply saying it’s only Algeria…. Cos Spain were only playing Cape Verde the other night and couldn’t do shit.
Bayern Munich have been informed that Ayyoub Bouaddi has rejected the club’s advances despite weeks of talks involving Vincent Kompany, Max Eberl and the player’s representatives, with Bayern prepared to invest up to €60 million (£52 million) in the Lille wonderkid, only for the player to ultimately conclude that neither Bayern Munich, the Bundesliga nor the tactical project presented by Vincent Kompany represented a sufficiently attractive proposition for the next stage of his career.
The Moroccan wonderkid’s dream has long been the Premier League and, significantly, I can now exclusively reveal, as the first journalist worldwide, that Bayern Munich have been informed Bouaddi already has a personal agreement in place with an English club, a development communicated directly to Bayern by the player’s representatives, with officials increasingly convinced that the destination is either Liverpool FC, the crown jewel of English football, or Arsenal FC, the North London set-piece dependency project. Bayern were aware for months that both clubs were leading contenders for his signature and still chose to explore whether they could change the player’s mind. However, there is now a strong belief inside the industry that if Liverpool ultimately decide to make a decisive move, Bouaddi would choose Anfield, those mystical red-brick walls and one of football’s most magnetic institutions, over Arsenal, with the player understood to be significantly more captivated by Liverpool’s footballing vision than by a club whose recent rise has become almost inseparable from set-pieces, long throws and dead-ball routines.
The expectation inside Bayern Munich is that the situation will accelerate rapidly after the World Cup, potentially even during the tournament itself, and unless there is a dramatic late twist, Liverpool and Arsenal supporters should watch this story closely, as the final chapter may arrive far sooner than many expect.
@AVFCMarkM Maradona is the best player of all time.
Messi is the greatest player of all time.
Diego's peak will never be matched.
Messi's longevity as the best in the world will never be matched. No player had ever been the undisputed best player in the world for a decade before.

Watching football highlights without seeing the result in the video title or thumbnail will be an issue during the World Cup. ▶️
I've built a website to try and solve this issue. It isn't perfect yet and just a fun project! Any feedback appreciated. ⚽️
