[Henry Winter @henrywinter]

This is the year when the game of two halves became the game of four quarters. And the greatest sport and event was damaged for fistfuls of dollars. Hydration breaks ruin the game’s flow and frustrates fans and viewers. If hydration breaks were solely about player welfare then they would be linked to the temperature in the stadia. It’s a nonsense having a three-minute break in an air-conditioned arena.

Fifa should long ago have established a working party of coaches, sports scientists, national team doctors and Fifpro to agree a set temperature at kickoff, say 25C, which triggers the breaks. That would prove the breaks were for player welfare. At the moment, and to nobody’s surprise, it is widely accepted that these breaks are for US TV to accommodate commercials. Big bucks for the small screen.

Fifa should have thought more about the effect on games and to fan (and viewer) experience when negotiating. Coaches’ desire for a mid-half tactical time-out masquerading as a drinks stop should be resisted anyway. Games have been played for 150 years without needing such intervention. Coaches can shout instructions. And who says that 22 mins and 67 mins is when a coach needs to intervene anyway. It’s nonsense. It’s about money.

Respected and sane footballing voices from Virgil van Dijk to Mauricio Pochettino have spoken out against the breaks. Fifa should listen to them not appear only to listen to the rustle of dollar bills. It’s important that there is resistance to this from all over. Because if we tolerate this, our TV games could be next. BBC can’t do ads, ITV says it won’t follow its US counterparts. But it has been discussed by TV people. It’ll come one day. #FIFAWorldCup.

🚨🗣️New: Zlatan Ibrahimovic on Vinicius Junior refusing the mandatory halftime interview with FIFA at the World Cup:

“People are shocked that Vinícius walked away from a halftime interview. I am shocked that anyone thinks he should have stopped in the first place.

Halftime is not a television studio. Halftime is not a podcast. Halftime is not a red carpet. Halftime is the heartbeat of a football match.

For 45 minutes, players are warriors in a storm. They run, they fight, they suffer, they bleed. Then they get 15 precious minutes to recover, to breathe, to listen, to think. And FIFA wants to spend part of that time chasing soundbites? That is like pulling a Formula 1 driver out of his car during a pit stop and asking him how the race is going.

And FIFA’s idea is to shove a microphone in the player’s face and ask, ‘How do you feel?’

How do you think he feels? He’s exhausted.

This is modern football’s biggest disease. Everything is content. Everything is sponsorship. Everything is television. The match hasn’t even finished and they’re already trying to manufacture headlines.

They tell us they care about player welfare. Really? Then why are players playing more games than ever? Why are tournaments expanding? Why are injuries increasing? And now they want halftime interviews too? The hypocrisy is unbelievable.

Halftime is sacred. It belongs to the players and the coaches. That’s where games are won. That’s where tactics change. That’s where injuries get treated. That’s where leaders speak. It is not a media circus.

And don’t tell me this is for the fans. Fans want better football, not a tired player giving a robotic 20-second answer because somebody sold another broadcast package.

Vinícius understood that. He chose football over public relations.

The funniest part? They threaten him with a fine. A fine. As if that changes the principle. If I were there, I’d pay it too. Because some things are worth more than money.

If FIFA really had their way, they’d put microphones in the dressing room and call it innovation.

Football should come first. Not content. Not commercials. Not corporate greed.

For once, a player pushed back. And that’s exactly why so many people are angry.”

My wallet is gone!?

After watching Canada vs. Bosnia and Herzegovina at the Toronto Fan Festival for the FIFA World Cup 2026, I realized my wallet was missing while topping up my PRESTO card.

I opened iPhone Find My app and followed the signal to the Hyatt lobby.

The staff had it safely stored in a drawer. Someone had turned it in.

Toronto, the city where even lost wallets find their way back.

Honestly, this city has class.

If the person who turned it in happens to see this, please message me. I’d love to thank you properly.

Thank you to the person who returned it, the Hyatt staff, Apple, and the classy Torontonians. I love TO.

My nieces’ beloved cat Leonard has gone missing in Burwash, East Sussex.
It’s been 4 days and he has a medical condition. I’ll offer a £1000 reward to anyone who finds him.

[999OnTheRoad @999Control]

It’s almost a week since I left hospital after becoming unwell. I’m on the road to recovery now, however, there is one thing I’ll never forget or forgive.
My bag was stolen from a ward while I was incapacitated and the staff were likely busy trying to help me. (I have no memory of that time.) Whoever stole that bag, I have no words for you, but I do have a picture of you when you tried to open the phone.
I know it’s a long shot but has anyone in the Carmarthen area come across a bag like this? I suspect my phone and purse was swiped and the bag discarded sometime between the 30th and 31st of May. I had other sentimental stuff in that bag that has no value to anyone but me.

If by chance anyone has spotted it, please DM me.
Thank you.

The 9-to-5 system should be completely abolished. Workdays should be 10-3 or 9-2. There’s no reason people should spend most of their lives at work. Let people go home and have time for their families, partners, friends, and rest. This is why so many people hate their jobs.

Meet Moto, who has received the fewest applications. 💔

He was found outside a train station, with a tail injury, which then had to be amputated.

We hope his lack of tail isn't putting people off, because Moto is full of love!

Meet him. 👉 https://t.co/ddsqqZIsNW #Caturday

It is legal in the UK to hit a cat when driving and not need to stop or report collisions, leaving them scared, alone, and in pain. Cats are important, loved, valued family members for many and we believe the law should reflect this.

DOBBY, Deaf cat, missing Notts #NG2 #FindDobby Please share #Nottingham [Posters are out, cameras are set up. Neighbourhood is alerted]

[dominic dyer @domdyer70]

A deaf cat is missing after hitching a ride four miles from home in a delivery van.
Dobby lives in The Meadows, Nottingham, but on 20 May he hopped inside a driver's vehicle as a stowaway and rode to the Carlton area of the city.

The white tom cat has a tracker tag in his collar but the trail went cold after he slipped out of it in a garden.

Rescue charity Beauty's Legacy is working to track down Dobby. Senior animal welfare officer Lisa Dean said: "The fact that he's completely deaf, makes him exceptionally vulnerable."

Beauty's Legacy is planning to install cameras and food stations in the area where he was last seen.

Dean added that there had been potential sightings of a white cat not seen locally.

She said: "Anyone that lives in the Carlton area, just be vigilant if they see a pure white cat that they've not seen before.
"He's very distinctive - he's got bright blue eyes, a very pink nose.
He's very inquisitive and very friendly, but obviously, he's now displaced in an area he has no idea where he is, so he's going to be skittish.

"Put some food down, put some water out to attract him, and if you see him, call us and one of us can get over there."

[Give A Shit About Nature @giveashitnature]

A "dove release" at a wedding or funeral is a death sentence for the birds.

The white "doves" sold for releases aren't doves. They're domestic white pigeons bred to be small and pretty, with no survival skills outside a coop.

The cheaper DIY versions (Ringneck Doves, King Pigeons) can't even find their way home. Nearly all of them die within days.

Even professional releases with trained homing pigeons lose birds every time. Hawks take them in the air. Cars hit them when they land exhausted. They collide with windows. There are lots of ways it can go sideways for them.

Rehabbers pull them in with broken wings, raging trichomoniasis, and bodies so emaciated they can't stand. One described a release pigeon whose throat infection had hardened so completely it distorted the shape of his skull.

There is no version of this where the birds "fly away and live happily ever after." That's the marketing. The reality is a domestic animal traumatized or killed for a 15-second photo.
