The Prem is going to have sooo many great storylines next year it’s unreal. A new era of Man U, an extremely fortified/vying for top 4 new castle side, of course the obvious Haaland to city and their title defense and the intrigue to see if he leads to something more

CURACAO WIN THEIR FIRST EVER POINT IN A WORLD CUP AND THEIR FANS ARE CELEBRATING LIKE CRAZYYYYYY! 🇨🇼❤️
For all the chat around Yan Diomandé (and rightly so), Christ Inao Oulaï has been excellent in midfield in this first half. Another gem of this Ivorian team. 20 years old, very good with Trabzonspor last season who value him at €40-50m. Big European clubs are also following him.
Extremely excited for the league season restart in two weeks, followed by entering the Champions League qualifications in one month. We will be ready ⚽️💛🖤

J’ai créé une « liste » des joueurs de -30 ans pour le nouveau cycle à venir (Euro 28/Qualif CDM 2030) 🇮🇹
Un mix entre joueurs du groupe actuel, des jeunes déjà installés et d’autres qui ont 2-3 saisons pour faire leur place ✔️

Three books I’d recommend to read during a World Cup summer.
Jimmy Burns’ ‘Hand of God’ is the best thing I’ve read about Diego, ‘Up Pohnpei’ by Paul Watson is a truly incredible story and ‘Doctor Socrates’ from Andrew Downie is a wonderful account of a fascinating person.
Diamonde v the best defence ITW! Price tag may have hiked up to 9 figures after THAT performance. Clutched on both flanks, beating multiple players on numerous occasions. First @ RW, softening them up for Amad to nail the dagger, before mogging on the left
