There are times when you think AI has gone too far, but then there are moments when you see Uncle Phil from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air scoring Mesut Özil's goal against Ludogrets, and suddenly it all feels worthwhile.

This is what low-stakes friendlies should do: create good selection problems. The USMNT just got that with young players forcing Pochettino decisions. Nigeria had a chance to do similar; a thin squad turns the match into an availability audit.

Replying to @NGSuperEagles
@NGSuperEagles’ player pool has needed refreshing. Against Madagascar, two debutants scored both goals in a 2-1 comeback. Today in Bissau brings the harder question: was that one night of inspiration, or the beginning of a genuine shift in the Super Eagles hierarchy? 🧵

📺 Telemundo TV commentator: "We are one of the only networks in the world to NOT show ads during the World Cup cooling breaks." "We prefer the old school way. We should be able to see what the players do. We show fans, people enjoying, not the corporate direction of football."

“It would have cost me £140 on the train, £30 for a match ticket and around £100 for a hotel to go to Millwall. But instead I got an £80 return flight, £16 match ticket and £100 hotel in Marrakech.” Meet Scott Wood, the Hull City fan who swapped a pre-Christmas trip to Millwall for a January jaunt to watch the Africa Cup of Nations in Marrakech - because it was cheaper. ✍️ @greggevans40 🔗 nytimes.com/athletic/6959611…

Russia’s east-west extent, from Kaliningrad (~20°E) to Cape Dezhnev (~169°E), is ~10,000 km as a straight-line (great circle) distance. Mercator projection maps exaggerate distances at higher latitudes (e.g., 60°N), but the true geodesic distance is ~10,000 km.
