It’s Antonin Panenka’s birthday today.

And to mark the occasion, here’s Julian Dicks giving it some proper fucking welly from the penalty spot…

Man of the people.
One of us.
The common man.
A pint and a tab.
Stunned.

What WERE the chances?

Awful stuff.
Corinthians (who have quite a 'lively' ultra section) use SMOOTH OPERATOR to take the piss out of Palmeiras - they sing 'Chupa, Palmeiras' ('Suck it, Palmeiras' - ('chupa' is more aggressive in Portuguese than in English))
I think the kids say 'cringe'?
Must do better, Corinthians.
A música “Smooth Operator” tocou na Neo Química Arena antes da bola rolar para Corinthians e Botafogo.

A canção é utilizada para provocar o rival, pela semelhança sonora com o termo “Chupa, Palmeiras”.

Player who was cleared of wrongdoing in a dodgy spot-fixing scheme 'talks himself into a red card'.
Hadaway and shite, man. Dodgy as fuck, that.

Such a slow, gentle slide into fascism...
This is the most alarming story I’ve read today. Giving up the fight before it’s started

Me realising it was a goal and an assist for young Miley...

Just going to put it out there.
Loads of positives, obviously.
But seeing Elanga have a really good game at last and seeing Joelinton put in his best performance for a while was very pleasing.

The youngest had a sleepover at her Cubs group. We finally got a message at 00:05 from Akela to tell us "everyone's asleep now. Had a great day!"
They're NINE, man 😂

I've woken up to some very random, alcohol-driven WhatsApp messages from my brother-in-law. Parabéns, Mengão!
Flamengo become the first team from Brazil to win the Copa Libertadores on four occasions after beating Palmeiras 1-0 in Lima, Peru.

Mengão avenge their defeat in the 2021 final after Danilo's header was the difference between the two sides.

Danny Murphy talking about the SoS being ecstatic with the win.
I reckon the 20k who were there were, tbf.

Absolutely tremendous away performance that by #nufc.
Locals streaming out on 60mins is fairly mental, mind.

The brother-in-law visited last week. Took him to Conil de la Frontera to see the sunset. "It's only the second time I've seen the sun set in the ocean. In Brazil, it sets over land."
I'd never even thought about it 🤯

Tell me who your favourite England cricketer is, and why it is Mark Wood.

The next Brazilian kid who will make the move to Europe. As my brother-in-law says, "Ele joga pra caralho" (Trans: 'He's very good'.)

Newcastle still looking at that right wing berth, by the way. Ahem.

Same, tbf.
I still open birthday and Xmas cards expecting a tenner to fall out. It hasn't happened for 35 years, but I'm hopeful.
