Spain have a player who debuted in 2021, scored at the World Cup in 2022, won the Nations League in 2023 and has worked his way back from two major knee surgeries to make the 2026 World Cup squad. Mad to think that that player is only 21 years old.

Terminal 2 at Perth Airport is a fascinating study in culture.
Orange & yellow mingle until the voice in the speaker calls them into line.
They separate, and head off to their jobs in places I’ve never heard of.
Bournemouth sold *check notes* Zabarnyi for £57m, Huijsen £50m, Kerkez £40m, Ouattara £45m and Semenyo for £65m in January for a very grand total of £257m *checks maths. not a strength*. Bournemouth continued playing attractive, winning football, ending the season unbeaten in 18, sixth in the table and qualified for Europe for the first time ever in their 127 years.
Iraola has done a magnificent job – and so has Bournemouth’s recruitment department. Kroupi and Scott the latest gems being polished. Senesi, a £12m signing from Feyenoord four years ago, leaves a free agent to Spurs with plenty of good wishes following his fine defensive service over 128 games. Bournemouth get good value out of players and/or good value for them.
Well-run club. Pity that Iraola is leaving and missing out on the European adventure that he helped secure. Leaves team in good shape for incoming Rose. Coaches and players...it's all in the succession planning. #AFCB
