A blog for the, ahem, discerning follower of football. Or something like that. Battering keyboards into submission in support of minnows everywhere.

When Ruud Gullit calls this the result of the day, you don't argue..

Well, I'm back. I had some what could be called "access issues" (no, I wasn't suspended) this last while which seem to have suddenly been magically solved.
So, to all of you who celebrated my demise..sorry. You haven't got rid of me just yet. 😇😁
#Spain 0:0 #CapeVerde
Brilliant display from the Blue Sharks. They were mmense and deserve all the credit going. 😎👍
However, now we'll have to put up with thousands of "This is what football is all about" posts all over social media for the rest of the evening.. 🙄🥱

And you wonder why I'm hardly on here any more.. 🙄
“NATO WASN’T THERE WHEN WE NEEDED THEM, AND THEY WON’T BE THERE IF WE NEED THEM AGAIN. REMEMBER GREENLAND, THAT BIG, POORLY RUN, PIECE OF ICE!!!” - President Donald J. Trump
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
NATO Articles 5 & 6 require "individual or collective self-defence" from "an armed attack against one or more of them" in Europe or North America, the Algerian Departments of France, the territory of Turkey, or islands under member jurisdiction. Not aggressive war.

If you want a football map of a particular location done, there really is only one man for the job.. ❤️⚽️
🗿 It's that time of year when social media feeds fill with maps and stories about one of the most curious islands in the world: Easter Island, or #RapaNui in the local language.
We know that the island was named by Dutch explorer Jakob Roggeveen in honor of the day he sighted it, Easter Sunday 1722. We know that it belongs politically to Chile, and that its most distinctive feature is the Moai heads that make it a unique destination.
Here I show my map of Rapa Nui football with all the teams that participate and have participated in the recent past.
But how much do we know about football on Easter Island?
Here are some fun facts:
🗿 As Chileans see it, it's the most popular sport locally. In 2009, the local team played the opening match of the Copa de Chile against the historic and multiple champion team from Santiago, Colo-Colo, losing 4-0 at the Hanga Roa football complex.
🗿 There is a very active championship, organized by Fútbol Rapanui, divided into Apertura and Clausura like many other leagues in South America. Each year, 8-10 teams meet, with some historic teams like Fc Moeroa and Hanga Roa FC competing for the "Superclasico de Rapa Nui."
🗿 The Rapa Nui team is currently part of @CONIFAOfficial América Latina and has participated in the indigenous football tournaments of South America, the Campeonato Nacional de Fútbol de Pueblos Originarios, winning the 2012 edition.

Nice to see the #AlstonTurn getting an airing in the vid.
Meanwhile, @KI_Klaksvik beat #07Vestur 11:0, while #NSÍ beat #Skála 2:0 in the third game on the opening day of the Women's Premier League.

This decision by the CAF, a craven one at that, stinks to high heaven. Hopefully, the CAS will overturn it and award the trophy to the team who won it on the pitch, despite all the shenanigans both on and off the pitch.
The CAF Appeal Board decided that in application of Article 84 of the Regulations of the CAF Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), the Senegal National Team is declared to have forfeited the Final Match of the TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) Morocco 2025 (“the Match”), with the result of the Match being recorded as 3–0 in favour of the Fédération Royale Marocaine de Football (FRMF).
