@sama A medley match of the most popular sports in the world, contested by teams of ants, at dawn, with wild fan celebrations and first-person camera angles

I look forward to seeing how Wandsworth Town station will cope once these buildings are complete and thousands of people live in them, Mr Mayor 🤨

Love the story of @sport24live. The no-brainer sports service that puts live sport in the air. In an age of subscription fatigue, meet the channel everyone dreams of having at their fingertips. FWIW, I'd prioritise an airline showing all the major sport... https://t.co/BFZAk6zPMi

The Welsh are just born with excellent pipes aren't they. Every single one of 'em. 🗣 #USAvWAL

New favourite sport. Kudos to the #RLWC2021 organisers for making this the most inclusive tournament ever. Have a feeling a few more tickets will be sold after tonight...

Re-reading Bob Iger's (former Disney CEO) 'Ride Of A Lifetime' and came across this about Twitter. We're 6 years on from when those discussions took place. For all the $$, tech and brainpower, can we say Twitter has solved any of these challenges?!

All those in favour of introducing a probation period in critical govt roles

Erling Haaland is like one of those FIFA game characters you create yourself and just max out the stats in every department. Ridiculous.

[François Westcombe @fwestcombe]

Obligatory #LeadersWeek picture. Has any 7 big letters been pictured more by the sport industry?

[Ross Jeavons @rossjeavons]

Thanks @BBCSouthNews for telling Corey's story. Sunday was a 17 mile training run after a long night on the Children's Ward. Weary doesn't cover it!

I want to work with @newsfortofs for a brighter future for children like Cor-Cor.

So refreshing to be at a Euro final at Wembley, England playing, no trouble, instead seeing every family member soaking up the atmosphere. What a contrast. Pls keep it this way 🦁#lionesses #WEuro2022Final #WEURO2022

I love a montage, but that Sue Barker one... 🔥 Great players can be great broadcasters. Not all, just a select few.
