Johan Manzambi is having a ridiculous World Cup for Switzerland 🤩🇨🇭

After getting a fantastic assist against Algeria to help La Nati progress to the round of 16, the 20-year-old now has 5 goal contributions in this World Cup.

What's even more impressive is that he's done it all in just 200 minutes, meaning a goal or assist every 40 minutes.

Manzambi's performances have been so eye-catching that some of Europe's biggest clubs are now looking at signing the young Swiss star - although he won't come cheap.

Keir Starmer is right to resist the pressure and stand firm – he’s earned that much.

If Cameron, May and Johnson all could manage longer terms in power with all the controversies that haunted the Tories, then Starmer is at least owed the chance to give defiance a shot.

In fact, Starmer's refusal to quit is more in keeping with his character which has often been overshadowed by U-turns that have not been helped by a chaotic party.

Look, he might not last the week, or even the next 24 hours, as Labour MPs call for his resignation and challengers jostle for his job, but no saga ends without a highlight reel.

And, Starmer's highlights have definitely done enough to earn him the chance to stand firm and defend his position.

🇨🇭🦊'The Swiss Leicester' had never won a trophy in its 128-year history - until now.

On Saturday, despite losing 3-1 to Swiss giants Basel, FC Thun completed the ultimate underdog story by winning the Swiss Super League, their first ever major trophy.

Promoted from the second division only last year, Thun came into this season with the establishment expecting the club to merely fight for their survival - however, the team from the Bernese Oberland had other ideas.

Historically a bit of a yo-yo club, Thun have almost only experienced disappointment in their long 128-year existence, once finishing second in the Swiss first division and twice losing the final of the Swiss Cup.

Their greatest achievement up until this season was a foray into the Champions League in the 2005/06 season.

While a number of players have had stand-out seasons for the club, FC Thun's success has been embodied by team spirit and work rate - quite simply their desire to want it more than everyone else.

Not only did they confirm their title win with three games to spare, they also hold an 11-point gap to second place.

The club's historic achievement has been compared to that of Leicester City in 2016, when the Foxes beat all the odds to win the Premier League two seasons after playing in the Championship.

Thun will now get the opportunity to play in the Champions League, entering into the 2nd round of qualifiers.

Stories like this is why we love football.

Senne Lammens has prevented more goals than any other goalkeeper in the Premier League this season (5.3) and has not made a single mistake leading to a goal in 29 games across all competitions.

Since his debut, United have conceded 35 goals, the fourth lowest amount of goals in that period, behind only Arsenal, Man City and Brighton.

More than anything, the Belgian keeper has severely improved the mental well-being of Man United fans everywhere.

Solid between the sticks 🧱

Where does he rank among the signings of the season?

An absolutely iconic Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina. The summer games could never.
This closing ceremony has some heavy lifting to do.

Sure-fire way to ski faster at the finish line? Get chased by a dog that, at a glance, looks like a wolf.

Looks like they're having a great time at the Winter Olympics though, someone get that dog a medal.

Stan 'The Man' Wawrinka just broke an Open Era all-time tennis record and is having a good-bye tour to remember 🎾🇨🇭

The Swiss legend beat a tennis Grand Slam record today at the Australian Open taking the title from none other than his patriot and tennis goat Roger Federer.

The 40-year-old Grand Slam winner beat Frenchman Arthur Gea in a fifth set tie-breaker to advance into the third round of the tournament.

With this, Wawrinka has now played 49 five-set Grand Slam matches in his career, more than anyone else in men's tennis history, according to OptaAce.

This just proves how formidable of an opponent the Lausanne native has been throughout his long and storied career.

Meanwhile, after his win on Monday against Laslo Djere, he became the second-oldest man to win a match at the Australian Open.

Former winner, of course, of the Australian Open in 2014, Wawrinka was one of a handful of players able to break the Federer, Nadal and Djokovic era of dominance, winning the French Open in 2015 and US Open in 2016.

Adored by fans everywhere for his charisma, determination and underdog spirit, it's certainly shaping up to be a final season to remember for tennis icon as he is set to retire at the end of this season. 👋
