I will be having a live stream on Saturday

3pm Nigerian time.

Come with your questions. Let’s have fun!!!

[Guinness World Records @GWR]

All the records broken by Lionel Messi today:

Most FIFA World Cup finals goals by a football (soccer) player - 18

Most FIFA World Cup matches played in by an individual - 28

Most matches won by a player at the football (soccer) FIFA World Cup - 18

Most minutes played in the football (soccer) FIFA World Cup - 2,489

We are witnessing history.

Mohamed Salah is 34 years old. At that age, most forwards are managing their careers. Salah is still rewriting history.

A couple of minutes ago, in Vancouver, Egypt faced New Zealand in their opening 2026 World Cup group game. Egypt had never won a World Cup match in four previous appearances, stretching back to 1934.

That statistic has heavily bothered a nation that has produced one of Africa's most celebrated footballers and yet had never tasted victory on the biggest stage.

Today, they were even behind at half-time. Finn Surman's header had given New Zealand the lead, and the ghosts of 1990 and 2018 were gathering.

But Egypt have Salah.

Mostafa Zico equalised in the 58th minute. Salah scored in the 67th. Clinical, composed, inevitable. Then in the 82nd minute he delivered a pinpoint assist for Trézéguet's header to seal a 3-1 win.

Egypt have waited 92 years for a World Cup victory. Salah delivered it the only way anyone who has watched him closely would have expected. Quietly, completely, and on his own terms.

The Egyptian King has given his country something no one else could.

Yes United will be saving £9m from the severance compensation owed to Amorim.

This is because of the duty to mitigate in football. When United dismissed Amorim, they owed him and his staff compensation for the rest of their contracts.

Most people assume that figure is fixed, that a sacked manager simply collects what he was promised in full. Well that’s true but in practice, the law does not work that way.

Now, according to the FIFA RSTP, the injured party is owed compensation, broadly the residual value of the contract that was cut short. But that party must take reasonable steps to reduce his own losses. He cannot sit idle and bank the entire payout while doing nothing.

He is expected to find new employment, and whatever he earns from that new role over the overlapping period is deducted from what his former club owes.

So the moment Amorim agreed terms with AC Milan, the maths shifted. Every pound Milan pays him across the overlapping period is a pound United no longer has to. That is exactly why the saving lands around the £8 to £9 million mark.

So in practice, if United owed Amorim 18m at the point of dismissal for example, and Amorim signed a 9m contract with Milan, the 9m Amorim is earning from Milan would be deducted from the 18m United has to pay him.

Do you get it?

This is why clubs quietly want their sacked managers to land somewhere new quickly. It is not goodwill. It is accounting. A dismissed coach who stays unemployed is the most expensive kind.

While Article 17 sits within the RSTP and applies most directly to players, the same mitigation logic governs coaching disputes, whether through the Football Tribunal, the relevant annexe of the regulations, or ordinary employment law principles.

I’m thinking of doing a live session where everyone gets to ask me questions they’ve always wanted to ask.

-How to get into the industry as a player, coach, agent or lawyer
-How to run a football academy
- Questions about a dilemma, trilemma or whatever Emma it is

And so on.

I think I should have it. That’s not the question. The question is the platform

IG, Twitter, Yourube, TikTok, Facebook.

Which?

Real Madrid, Barcelona, PSG and other top European clubs have annual wage bills of about €550m.

Cristiano Ronaldo alone earns €208m a year. Benzema earns about €122m yearly. That’s unsustainable in Europe.

So how exactly are Saudi clubs able to afford these huge sums.

Watch and learn if you’re curious.

It is unbelievable that Zadok Yohanna is worth this much. But that’s not even the point.

The point is that despite this, he may not get a UK work permit and may thus be unable to feature in the EPL this season.

I just explained why, and how he can eventually get to.

I was wondering why YouTube is getting broadcast rights to the FIFA World Cup- especially considering the fact that TV rights are a huge source of revenue for competition organizers.

I didn’t have to go too far to realize what’s happening. Watch the video to find out

No agency, and no budget and no campaign strategy. Atletico Madrid generated 41 million impressions and every marketing director in world football is quietly furious they did not think of it first.

Here is what actually happened.

Julian Alvarez to Barcelona rumours were circulating heavily. Most clubs in that situation issue a tight-lipped statement, say nothing publicly, or brief a journalist with carefully managed language.

Atletico Madrid posted their official "HERE WE GO" announcement offering Barcelona just four Bad Bunny tickets, an ABC subscription and a bag of sunflower seeds as their transfer counter-offer. The post was culturally precise, timing was perfect, the humour was completely native to the internet and it cost absolutely nothing to produce.

They have generated 41 million organic, unsponsored, unpaid views in hours.
This is the thing traditional football clubs still do not understand about the attention economy they are operating in.

Silence is not neutral anymore. It is just invisible. Every hour a club spends saying nothing in a news cycle is an hour someone else is owning the conversation about them.

With this one action, Atletico did not just respond to a rumour. They hijacked the entire narrative, made their rivals look like the straight man in a joke and built genuine brand affinity with a global audience that had never previously cared about Spanish transfer gossip.

The Bad Bunny reference was not accidental. The fax machine nostalgia was not random. The pipas are deeply embedded in Spanish everyday culture. Whoever constructed that post understood their audience, understood the moment and understood that the internet rewards specificity over polish every single time.

Football clubs spend millions on brand consultants and content agencies trying to manufacture exactly the kind of organic engagement Atletico produced for free on a Friday.

Do you remember the guy Zidane headbutted at the 2006 World Cup? It was this guy.

I don’t know if you ever heard of a tough guy that was weeping profusely when Mourinho was leaving Inter Milan. It was also this guy.

Mourinho said Materazzi was the symbol of sadness in all of them. Materazzi said he told Mourinho to get lost for leaving him with Benitez.

That is one of the most human football story I know. Two hardmen weeping outside a stadium because something real was ending.

Mourinho has since said that in his entire career, coaching the best players of that generation, the two best central defenders he ever had were John Terry and Marco Materazzi.

He said it on camera, for the record, in an interview for Materazzi's new book.

The book is called MM23. It is a 300-page interactive autobiography covering Materazzi's 26-year career, available from May 22, the anniversary of that Champions League final night in Madrid.

The date of release was not accidental. Materazzi chose the anniversary of the treble deliberately. Because for him that night was never just about the trophy. It was also about the hug in the car park.

Football is just people. Humans. Like you and I. Sometimes it reminds you of that.
