Rule No 1: Always get the book in shot

[Kevin Van Valkenburg @KVanValkenburg]

Soccer twitter is great, I am sad I wasn't plugged into it previously. Fav a few tweets, share a few dumb opinions, and now my timeline is like:

Russell Westbrook and DK Metcalf could defeat Brazil's current squad with 6 months of training, particularly since Brazil is no longer a team of creative Catholic heathens; also the Americans have 11 Erling Haalands in every mid-size Ohio town but many of them will never make it because they have to pay club fees so they're instead forced to play power forward in the MAC, and America's loudest soccer voice is like "Shareholders see this as a good return on an investment, if you disagree you are woke."

The long wait for a 4,000+ passing yards season for a Bears QB almost ended in 2025

Will Caleb Williams deliver it in '26?

[Good Teams Win, Great Teams Cover @GTW_GTC]

Why do we care so much about where our team plays?

@tweetsfromben tells us why Soldier Field more than just facilities for the Bears — it’s about the view, the history, the feeling of being part of Chicago.

@CYMROPORT @lukey_jt91 Well, South Wales has got plenty like that

[AAW Network 🏈🇬🇧 @AAW_Network]

We couldn't get @tweetsfromben on a podcast without making sure we got a book plug in, right?📚

@CYMROPORT @lukey_jt91 Define “follows England”. You’ve seriously never seen a Welsh person who loves football, supports an English club, doesn’t go to Wales games but wants Wales to win but in a tournament likes to see England do well?

[Ben Isaacs @tweetsfromben]

@CYMROPORT @lukey_jt91 I’m implying that people with an affinity for English clubs are closer to having an affinity with the national team as well. People can support who they like. Geography is only one aspect of it. I’ve met people who identify as English but support a Welsh club

[Ben Isaacs @tweetsfromben]

@CYMROPORT @lukey_jt91 Who said it makes someone less Welsh?

[Ben Isaacs @tweetsfromben]

@Gustoon Bo knows trading cards

[Ben Isaacs @tweetsfromben]

Been doing a lot of research into the football card scene of this era. Fascinating stuff. Bo was on the cover for this magazine’s first issue

@joshuapsjones Also the idea he made “the entire Saudi league relevant”. It gets crowds worse than non league and no one watches it internationally on a regular basis

[Ben Isaacs @tweetsfromben]

@__liamrooney I was involved in youth soccer here in London, one of the world’s most expensive cities. I think parents paid about £35 a month

[Ben Isaacs @tweetsfromben]

@huskybill2611 I think the Rams for exactly the same reasons you picked the Lions. Fascinating coach, ultra competitive division with teams that don’t like each other, championship-calibre roster and a point to prove after last year

[Ben Isaacs @tweetsfromben]

@cfbfletch @TayyibAbu1 It’s like saying an elite goalie is a one trick pony because he basically saves every single shot. Or a cornerback who no QB will throw at. If you’re so good at what you do that you are the most dangerous in the game I think that’s pretty good

[Ben Isaacs @tweetsfromben]

@fleaMicheal Yep! It’s like an optical illusion

[Ben Isaacs @tweetsfromben]

Who can be the first to identify the helmet hidden by the Game Link logo on the right?

[FB_Helmet_Guy @FB_Helmet_Guy]

Best video game cover art ever.

[Ben Isaacs @tweetsfromben]

@Carlsonsports Which probably explains why I didn’t get an invite. FFS

[Ben Isaacs @tweetsfromben]

@JEG_Gregory But did you count them about 5 times like I did before I accepted no helmets were missing?

[Ben Isaacs @tweetsfromben]

@Son_Of_Ray I’m wrong again. Indianapolis is before Houston

[Ben Isaacs @tweetsfromben]

@Son_Of_Ray Wait. It’s not random - it IS alphabetical, right? I was confused by where things are broken up
