If Richarlison keeps playing like this, he'll get a move to a big club.

- Extraordinary from Denmark kit supplier Hummel: "We don’t wish to be visible during a tournament that has cost thousands of people their lives. We support the Danish national team all the way, but that isn’t the same as supporting Qatar as a host nation."
- The Ronaldo-Morgan interview is sad in so many ways. Someone who had been at the top of their game for so long, now a marginal figure, losing stature, influence and ability to be relevant. Raging at the dying of the light. And the same goes for @Cristiano.
- A man scores a goal in St Petersburg and this happens half a second later - and 8,205 miles away in Buenos Aires.
- Of the 30 fastest men's 100m sprint times ever, only nine have been run by an athlete NOT banned for drugs - all 9 by Usain Bolt. #IAmBolt
- 115 charges in a single Premier League investigation. Unbelievable club.Five goals in a single Champions League games. Unbelievable player. 👽🧘🏼♂️ #UCL
- Marcelo's son Enzo completes the header challenge in the Real dressing room. Enzo is 8. In this climate he's probably worth about €50m.
- Pep Guardiola has spent £466m on transfer fees at Man City. Just on defenders.
- Last tweet of night: huge congrats again to Man City commercial team for raising their commercial income in 2021-22 more than 13% to £309.5m, or more than 50% of total income. Man Utd could only manage £258m, or 44.2% in the same period. Seems totally legit.
- In the 3 World Cup 2022 matches before USA-Wales, the official attendances have been 67,372 (in a stadium with capacity of 60,000); 45,334 (in a stadium holding 40,000) and 41,721 (in a stadium holding 40,000). Amazing, not least given all the empty seats.
- Manchester City are neither successful enough, in their history, or popular enough, globally, in their history, to become the football club with the highest annual revenues, organically & globally. Any claims otherwise are based on fake data.
- What a brilliantly framed image. Argentina gloating over broken Dutch players. In awe of photographers who tell such powerful stories in one snap. This one by @paulmjchilds of @ActionImages / Reuters.
