England haven’t been convincing so far, but without players born outside the UK or with at least 1 parent or grandparent born abroad, we wouldn’t still be here. And today, we’d be down to just 3 players.

So typical of the #EU, it first incubates derision, it then regrets its existence

[Angelina Eichhorst 🇪🇺 @aneichhorst]

#EU regrets that the new President of North Macedonia 🇲🇰 President Siljanovska-Davkova, didnot use the country’s constitutional name at the swearing-in ceremony 2day. Full respect 4 legally binding agreements incl. #Prespa Agreement w/Greece 🇬🇷 = important https://t.co/AJ8Igcupeu

A very interesting set of maps. Can you see how the UK relates to Europe? That's right, you can't because it doesn't! It's the elephant outside of the room #Europe

[Europe Maps & Facts 🇪🇺 @Europemapsfacts]

@EUErasmusPlus Actually we should talk about European identities, as there are so many different ways to experience the European project. #EuropeDay

[Spyros Themelis @Spyth1]

@Abass_Bolajii Well done, Abass. Onwards and upwards

Why Utrecht University is missing in the THE ranking. A conscious choice:

- Rankings foster competition; UU wants to focus on collaboration
- Quality of entire university cannot be captured in one number.
- Data and methods used are questionable.
