Had drafted a tweet about the Disgrace of Gijon being avenged, but Algeria’s football was just like their Revolution — gave the world hope and then disappointed.
Here's Emma Hayes' latest World Cup column for the Guardian, on hydration breaks, ball-in-play percentages and the one aspect of this tournament that has stood out for her more than anything else so far...

En Ancelotti conviven todos los estereotipos italianos. Tranquilamente puede ser un modisto de alta costura, el dueño de una escudería de F1, un eurodiputado de extrema derecha, un viejo galán de cine de los 80's o el consigliere de un capo de la 'Ndrangheta.
For some reason, whilst gearing myself up for the World Cup I began to think of the team Yugoslavia could have fielded this summer had they not broken up in 1992. So, without further ado, here is the unofficial Yugoslav team/squad for the 2026 World Cup
Huge win for the Government as Supreme Court holds in favour of Revenue. All proceedings held to be valid.
Any stake paid for a game with uncertain outcome amounts to betting.
Gaming companies on a serious back foot as massive demands may be confirmed
Someone has gone to the effort of putting together a dossier of refereeing decisions that have gone in favour of Arsenal and supposedly- "handed them the title" 🤣
The mystery of Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous inventor of Bitcoin, has remained unsolved for 17 years. Not anymore. Read my 18-month investigation to find out who Satoshi really is. https://t.co/fPtaK6YHJC

Exactly 25 years ago today, I scored my first — and only — professional goal.
Contrary to what I believed at the time, goalkeepers are not allowed to handle the ball in both penalty areas.

Umberto Eco, who owned 50,000 books, had this to say about home libraries:
“It is foolish to think that you have to read all the books you buy, as it is foolish to criticize those who buy more books than they will ever be able to read. It would be like saying that you should use all the cutlery or glasses or screwdrivers or drill bits you bought before buying new ones.
“There are things in life that we need to always have plenty of supplies, even if we will only use a small portion.
“If, for example, we consider books as medicine, we understand that it is good to have many at home rather than a few: when you want to feel better, then you go to the ‘medicine closet’ and choose a book. Not a random one, but the right book for that moment. That’s why you should always have a nutrition choice!
“Those who buy only one book, read only that one and then get rid of it. They simply apply the consumer mentality to books, that is, they consider them a consumer product, a good. Those who love books know that a book is anything but a commodity.”
