10 years today since the FIFA top hats were dragged out of their beds and eventually shipped off to the US or on the run. Led to major shift in leadership. How have things gone since?

Fact Premier League allows clubs to pass own rules is a disaster. The recent Chelsea situation highlights this. Backed by a few clubs thinking they may face similar situation, ban on selling assets to self not imposed. Not a chance Chelsea’s women’s team can be valued at £150m, and yet here we are.

From @theathleticfc.bsky.social: Canada men’s national team manager Jesse Marsch has a message for President Trump: “Lay off the ridiculous rhetoric about Canada being the 51st state.” nyti.ms/3ER27Dm
A quote from Jesse Marsch, Canada men’s soccer team's manager: “Canada is a strong, independent nation that’s deep-rooted in decency. And it’s a place that values high ethics and respect, unlike the polarized, disrespectful and often now, hate-fueled climate that’s in the U.S.”
