The happiest day of my life 🍀❤️

@Gasolinux @CFC_Ali10 Kick-off times for the 2014 World Cup were 17:00, 20:00 and 23:00 BST, and that was only for the group stage, after that, all games were either at 17:00 or 21:00.

[Rob Young @robjyoung]

I know I’m not the first to say this, but seriously, these World Cup kick-off times. A midday KO in California just about works for a European audience, but who exactly is a 9pm local time KO in Boston for exactly?

[Rob Young @robjyoung]

Same vibes

[VERSUS @vsrsus]

The DR Congo arrival fits are pure aura.

Elon Musk is officially the world’s first trillionaire but he has somewhat missed the mark in solving global hunger

[Metro @MetroUK]

That look from Reform's Sarah Pochin though...

Game’s gone

One of the weirdest scenes you’ll see in football… people casually eating dinner at tables set up right next to the corner flag 🤔

Here’s a look at the Inter&Co Stadium in Orlando ahead of England’s game against Costa Rica tonight 😳

[Rob Young @robjyoung]

@ChrisMartin_93 It’s all run by a Russian-based crypto scam. Dig a little deeper and it links to a very convincing BBC News website and article. All very sinister stuff.

I’m now convinced we’re getting promoted after watching this

These are absolute filth of the highest order and I’d pay £400 for the set

Morning all, let's have some new @England @adidasfootball concept shirts made by a "grown man" 😉

@docko6 Why would we choose manager who’s never managed in the Championship over someone who has for many, many years?

[Rob Young @robjyoung]

@bap_head @timfarron What’s this got to do with Blackburn Rovers appointing Tony Mowbray?

[Rob Young @robjyoung]

@GalDavies1986 Challinor having never managed in the Championship might have been deemed too much of a risk to take at this stage. TM must’ve been given some serious reassurances by the incoming CEO to return. I for one am excited

[Rob Young @robjyoung]

@SMMiller14 @ShaunPendlebur2 @TheRobsonator93 Interesting to see the coaches he brings in. Kinda hope he keeps Phil Jones around

[Rob Young @robjyoung]

@SMMiller14 @ShaunPendlebur2 @TheRobsonator93 I’m genuinely excited about this. A great man manager with a steady pair of hands and plenty of experience, who’s proven at getting the best out of young players. Challinor would’ve been interesting but maybe his lack of Championship experience was deemed too risky

[Rob Young @robjyoung]

@GiallorossiBlue You appear to be forgetting the part where we offered O’Neill a very good contract, but NI bettered it, so he chose them over us. It’s not like we got rid of him. Although a surprise appointment, TM provides stability and a huge amount of experience.

[Rob Young @robjyoung]

@TheRobsonator93 He’s a well-liked, influential manager who was brilliant at nurturing young players. I’m excited to see what he’ll be able to get out of Guðjohnsen, Jørgensen, Ohashi, Morishita etc

[Rob Young @robjyoung]

@TheRobsonator93 I wouldn’t call that ‘ending badly’ though. I honestly think this is a shrewd appointment, and one I suspect the new CEO had a quiet hand in. TM would’ve been given plenty of assurances from the club too before signing

[Rob Young @robjyoung]

@Rovers Tbf, a lot of fans said we needed a ‘Tony Mowbray-like figure’ so why not just go for the original?
