German police estimating there are about 100,000 Dutch fans in Dortmund. Not all of them will have a ticket to ENGHOL, but will be there for the atmosphere, which appears to be a pretty good one

@adrian_warner Yes, a big government failure. I distinctly remember Hunt being very rude to you in a press conference... was it the day after closing ceremony... responding to your perfectly legitimate question. He showed his true colours there

Looking back, I can't believe how lucky I was to meet and interview Pele in Berlin in 2004. I was editor of Stadia magazine at the time. He cut the ribbon on our trade show. Pele radiated warmth, happily answered qus and his wide smile was never far away. Huge privilege. RIP

Wonderful

This my dad right here 👇 My whole life he has talked about Maradona, the greats that came before I was born. And now I get to see him happy as he was in 1986.

He’s the reason why I love football so much. I am most happy for HIM! VAMOS CANTOR! Love you, papi 💙 @AndresCantorGOL

Key difference between IOC and FIFA:

- IOC had daily pressers in Sochi 2014, Beijing 2008, Beijing 2022, Rio 2016, all Games hit with issues beyond sport.
Like it or not, the IOC answered tough questions every day.

- FIFA has 0 daily pressers in #Qatar

Boris Johnson's "victory" in today's vote of confidence was only by 59:41 per cent

that is lower in percentage terms than:

John Major in 1995
Margaret Thatcher in 1990
Theresa May in 2018

BREAKING: Six days after the Champions League policing fiasco, UEFA issues "sincere apology to fans" for "frightening and distressing events".

Still no apology or retraction of the statements Uefa made on the night, that Liverpool fans were to blame.

Happy days for Steve Hodge

Families with checks done in Rzeszow being told to now travel 200 miles to Warsaw to collect their visas.
People who’ve made dangerous journeys from a war zone shouldn’t be sent from pillar to post before they can join family. Appalling that Home Secretary is letting this happen

Very sad news. One of the true greats

IPC President Andrew Parsons appeared to Chinese viewers and listeners to have a mic issue at the Paralympic Opening Ceremony this evening. But in fact his speech about how he was "horrified at what is taking place in the world right now" was censored in China.

BREAKING: IPC decided Russia and Belarus athletes WILL be allowed to compete at the Beijing Winter Paralympics which start tomorrow - as neutrals.

They will compete under the Paralympic flag and not be included in the medal table.

FIFA has blood on its hands. Infantino should stand up to Putin not appease him. Utterly spineless from FIFA to let Russia continue competing in World Cup qualifying just with a different name. While brave Ukrainians die. #UkraineInvasion 🇺🇦

"Maybe I'm not so good. I want to try and move this situation and to also make assessments with the club" 👀

Antonio Conte questions whether he is the right man for the job at Spurs in a dramatic post-match press conference 😳
