For some reason, whilst gearing myself up for the World Cup I began to think of the team Yugoslavia could have fielded this summer had they not broken up in 1992. So, without further ado, here is the unofficial Yugoslav team/squad for the 2026 World Cup

FIFA doing everything possible to make this the worst possible World Cup in history.

Exclusive @TheAthleticFC

FIFA make last-gasp change to World Cup stadium rules: BANNING fans from bringing refillable plastic bottles, so fans must buy water in stadia

As of May, empty bottles permitted so fans could refill amid heat concerns. Not now

"We invaded Ukraine 12 years ago because they attacked St Petersburg today"

Surprised russia didn't blame Ukraine for the dinosaur extinction yet.

[UAVoyager🇺🇦 @NAFOvoyager]

russian occupation is not peace.

On Nov. 12, 2025, pro-Ukrainian Crimean resident Marina Ryff went to migration services in Gurzuf to extend her Ukrainian residency. She had refused a russian passport.

FSB agents forced her to unlock her phone, accessed her Facebook account, saw a Ukrainian flag and posts supporting Ukraine's military, then fabricated charges: “discrediting the army,” “extremist symbols,” and hooliganism.

She was sentenced in absentia to 14 days of administrative arrest — and then she vanished.

Six months later, there has been no contact, no confirmed location, and no access to a lawyer.

This is a well-known russian tactic: use minor administrative charges to abduct people, isolate them, and later accuse them of treason.

When people talk about “peace” under russian occupation, remember Marina Ryff.

She disappeared simply for refusing to stop being Ukrainian. That's what russian occupation means.

@reformparty_uk Is Farage's nephew still a nonce who likes taking photos up women's skirts? He wasn't too bothered about two tier policing then, or when he incited all those riots with no repercussions after Southport was he?

What's this week's explanation for the dodgy £5m anyway?

@GhostHexpat @RachelReevesMP @UKLabour I'm not sure you know what a bot is Peter...

[Mike @da5705]

Couldn't agree a contract with us after two years but managed it with Real in 72 hours?

I'd honestly rather players skipped the agent written goodbye letters and just posted "I'm fucking off to Spain for a wheelbarrow full of cash, bye cunts" on their way out.

[Ben Jacobs @JacobsBen]

Ibrahima Konate has now agreed all terms with Real Madrid and is set to join as a free agent after leaving Liverpool.

Al-Ittihad informed of his decision.🇫🇷

@GhostHexpat @RachelReevesMP @UKLabour I'm a bot because I can read where your account is based? 😂

@GhostHexpat @RachelReevesMP @UKLabour "This country"? Italy?

[Rachel Reeves @RachelReevesMP]

This is the difference this Labour government is making.

Kids starting the day full and ready to learn, no matter their background.

An achievement all Labour MPs can be proud of- and opposed by the Conservatives and Reform.

[🇬🇧King 🇬🇧 @King0243_PJC]

Starmer dismantled Nigel Farage at PMQs. A father who lost his son asked for calm over rage.

Farage chose exploitation and “cold rage” instead.

Dignity would have meant respecting the family’s wishes, not scoring political points from their grief.

Brilliant call-out. #PMQs

[Mukhtar @I_amMukhtar]

When Metropolitan Police officer Wayne Couzens kidnapped and murdered Sarah Everard, Nigel Farage released a five-minute video urging people not to attack men or the police.

Today, in response to the murder of Henry Nowak, he called for "pure cold rage."

@RupertLowe10 @crabeyes1978 You're a billionaire who was privately educated then worked in the City.

You are the Establishment, dickhead.

[Liverpool FC @LFC]

Liverpool Football Club celebrates its 134th birthday today 🎈

The club officially came into existence on June 3, 1892, after founder John Houlding set about creating a new team on Merseyside that year 🔴

A special story was underway... ✨

[Prem Sikka @premnsikka]

South West Water fined £1.853m for supplying contaminated drinking water.

SWW is a serial offender, loses 107m litres of water daily to leaky pipes, dumped sewage in rivers for 407,006 hours.

Still trades. No exec fined, charged. People fleeced.
