Just days after we were chatting about the great man, @NickEllerby 🇧🇷
Today we were honoured to receive a visit from the family of Socrates! 🇧🇷
The great man's son, Fidel, and nephew Vitor - who with wife Gabriela Machado forms a media duo called 'WHY? Journalism' - are in London for the Ballon d'Or ceremony on Monday where the Socrates Award for social activism in football will be presented.
They could not miss the chance to visit the home of Corinthian-Casuals and wear the famous shirt donned by Socrates in 1988.
Sometimes this club feels like a magical place ✨️

This will probably go under the radar of people who only watch tennis for two weeks in July but this is a seriously big deal for Kartal and 🇬🇧 tennis. The World No. 170, absent for six months this year, reached her first final at a @WTA 1000.

SOTD for Shnaider but as I said in commentary, Alexandrova had a strong nomination for her defensive, baseline, slice that somehow morphed into a drop shot, which landed like a bag of cement.
This match-up @padres v @Dbacks on #basescoveredlive is the same one I saw in SD on Easter Sunday in April 1998! Wasn’t at this stadium, but the old one that was out of town somewhere. Watching this one in Kingston upon Thames.

Look, I'm not a fan of him in the slightest but the comic timing of that reaction is unbelievable. 😂

🗺️🇳🇱 THE EREDIVISIE RETURNS ON FRIDAY!!!
The Eredivisie is almost back but Volendam, NAC Breda and Heracles Almelo won’t be back after relegation last season.
Those three have been replaced by promotion winners ADO Den Haag, Cambuur and Willem II.
South Holland is the province with the most sides, three of them being from the city of Rotterdam.
The Eredivisie might also have one of the best spreads of clubs across the entire of the Netherlands!
Off and running for this week’s @WTA commentary @NBOtoronto although ☔️has interrupted Frech 🇵🇱 v Jeanjean 🇫🇷 on Grandstand with the first set level at 4-4.
Through in ✌️
A quarterfinalist in Montreal last year, Jessica Bouzas Maneiro makes a winning start at @NBOtoronto. She defeats Arseneault 6-2, 6-4 to make it into Round 2!

Now 17 wins from 19 matches for Krueger, and although Boulter impressed in the first set, it’s three R1 defeats on the spin for the 🇬🇧 No.2. Next commentary for me is Pareja 🇺🇸 v Wang 🇨🇳 from 16:00 BST @SkySportsTennis
First Win in DC ⚡️
Ashlyn Krueger moves through to round 2 after defeating Boulter in three sets 3-6, 6-2, 6-2.

Play is SUSPENDED at Wimbledon qualifying due to the intense heat in London.
Most of the matches stopped mid game because the the ELC stopped working with the heat...

It’s 40 years to the day since England beat Poland 3-0 at the World Cup.
But when the game was goalless, they received a wonderful dressing down from Barry Davies…
Dixon made his last competitive appearance for 🏴 in the infamous 7-1 win against San Marino in 1993 (was recalled for a friendly in '99)...almost 33 years ago. He never played at a major finals. It'd be the equivalent of ITV employing John Atyeo as a co-comm at Italia 90.
Previous @FIFAWorldCup openers at the Azteca:
1970: Mexico 0-0 USSR
1986: Italy 1-1 Bulgaria
Mexico 🇲🇽 and South Africa 🇿🇦 also drew in the 2010 opener in Johannesburg.
Draw tonight: 7/2
Never change @LUFC
