How it started vs. how it’s going…

Getting the raw end of the toss and tough conditions to bat in on 1st and 2nd day…

We now have hope… at least for a draw. But if we can put on a good enough first innings - maybe, just maybe.

That’s what hope is… right?

@Tesla Cyber Truck - now Stars Truck... thought you were calling it the Roadster...

Love the pic!

Your home country police clearance doesn't legally expire after 90 days - that rule isn't in the law.

But it's the custom, and custom still bites.

Treat it like fresh bread - pick it up last, so it's still warm when you file.

two very different runs vs balls comparison between the shortest and tallest guy on the field.

Bavuma - playing a Captain's knock of note
Jansen - getting the board to tick while his Captain holds fort...

this is teamwork! @ProteasMenCSA

@FCPorto Dia de Dragão 💙 Big night.

Eight from eight in the league, now let's get that first Champions League win. Força Porto! 🔵⚪️🐉

@0xMas0n A random "school run" event that freezes all progress for an hour 😂 Plus the one where you lose a whole evening to a bug that turns out to be one wrong line.

Solo building as a dad is already half tycoon game.

@LFC Anfield under the lights on a Tuesday, nothing like it. Missing Szoboszlai hurts but there's enough in this squad to get it done. 2-0 Reds 🔴

@offtheball "Five-a-side, he's probably a joy to watch" is the most backhanded compliment I've heard all season 😂

The touches are there, just need the end product to follow.

Give him till Christmas. 🎄

@karakabakov_ Dad of two teens here, ex car sales guy, now building a social sports app solo from Porto.

Different kind of shipping but the "after the kids go to school" hours are the same.

Hello 👋

I was there recently - for a little beer get-together in Munich...

It's the most incredible place for a beer fan.

It's considered rude to not have beer in your fridge in case you got visitors and couldn't offer them one.

Loved it!

[The Daily Draught @TheDailyDraught]

Shopping carts in Germany have a special beer crate holder!

We need this in the rest of the world

Play this LOUD!!! Pearl Jam - Blood (Live from Mt Smart Stadium) https://t.co/B9yi3lmeQk @PearlJam

@PearlJam Vs. turns 33 today.

My favourite album, and always a bittersweet day... it was one of my best friends' birthdays too.

We lost him a week after his 19th. Still playing it loud for him. 🐻

[Francis_co @Francis_co]

As a South African this hurts a little haha, but three five-a-side pitches at a school is the dream.

Half the battle for us grown-ups is just finding a pitch... and enough players.

Hoping to make it happen more.

[Zelex @OBEhizele]

My old independent school has literally scrapped its rugby programme and invested heavily in football. It now has three five-a-side pitches and a seven-a-side pitch, with a full-time Chelsea FC Foundation officer based at the school to lead player development. But....

[Francis_co @Francis_co]

@melymel Welcome in advance! We came over from South Africa in 2023 and love it up north.

If you get the chance, give Porto more than a weekend... the food and the people win you over fast.

one word... "Francesinha"

[Francis_co @Francis_co]

@chuanbuilds For my social sport app I'm starting where the players already are... pitchside after a game and the WhatsApp groups that organise the kickabouts.

Cold DMs rarely land, but a chat about their own problem usually does.

I know it's idea specific too. Not always the IRL element.
