Gareth Southgate is only person alive who would think that Ed Sheeran is the man to bring in to boost the spirits of the English players.

"Perfection is impossible.

In the 1,526 singles matches I played in my career, I won almost 80% of those matches.

But what percentage of points did I win?

54%

In other words, even top ranked tennis players win barely more than half the points they play.

When you lose ever second point on average, you learn not to dwell on every shot.

You teach yourself to think:
'Okay, I double faulted...it's only a point.'
'Okay, I came to the net and I got passed again...it's only a point.'

Even a great shot, an overhead backhand smash that ends up on ESPN's top 10 playlist – that too is just a point.

Here's why I'm telling you this.

When you're playing a point, it has to be the most important thing in the world. And it is.

But when it's behind you, it's behind you.

This mindset is crucial – because it frees you to fully commit to the next point with intensity, clarity, and focus."

What gives life meaning?

Pew asked in 17 nations "what gives you meaning in life?":

There's a big difference between Westerners and East Asians.

1. East Asians get less meaning from family and children than Westerners

Pep Guardiola after Ortega’s save. 🥵

[Dougie Critchley @DougieCritchley]

There’s something almost indescribably Spursy about producing your best performance of the last month in a game your fans didn’t want to win, still losing and ending up missing out on Champions League football anyway.

Could have a serious impact on their summer business.

Spurs when the entire fanbase wants us to lose

This is the craziest shit I've ever seen

[Joe Thomlinson @joethomlinson]

Was surprised at the amount of people that emptied the Emirates before the full time today…

Bad result, but still bang in this title race and those players will need every bit of support. 🤷🏼‍♂️

With apologies in advance, it's this

[The Cricket Podcast @TheCricketPod]

The year is 3047 and the urn containing Dhoni's ashes has just captained Chennai Super Kings to their 403rd IPL title.

This geezer getting stuck in a vase at his brothers best friends wedding still kills me 😭

[Diana S. Fleischman @sentientist]

One way that people develop charisma is through repeated social situations that are awkward or boring without charisma. Slow or absent development of charisma is a hard to quantify outcome of children's unlimited screen time- screens are way more entertaining than learning to tell stories or make conversation that actually captures someone's interest.

I don't want kids cause I know they'll realise early in their lives that I'm making it up as I go along
