Poland's fascinating, impossibly tight Ekstraklasa restarts tonight. The league is thriving, in line with the country's booming economy. It aims to crack Europe's top 10, maybe even top six – and isn't prepared to sit on elite football's sidelines for much longer. www.theguardian.com/football/202...
Passion, prospects and a thrilling title race: why Polish football is booming
Four points separate first from eighth in the Ekstraklasa and the aim is to establish Europe’s most interesting league as its sixth biggest

Dreadful news, Catherine O'Hara is a legend of the screen. Love her in Beetlejuice, in awe of her constant laughs in Schitt's Creek, and the last thing I saw her in was The Studio which she was also brilliant in.
Tbh she was brilliant in everything. A rare talent.

Fascism is thriving in the USA. I feel for all Americans who are against this evil, which should really be everyone.
What we see now is essentially the Gestapo being deployed on the American people by the government. Vile.

We are going to examine how miserable things really are for the 18 non-playoff NFL teams.
To do so, we have a subjective, non-scientific formula that measures two factors: how the 2025 season went and the overall future outlook of the team.

"perhaps what we so handily describe as club DNA is ultimately a story, a myth concocted to fit reality... the confusion arises when we confuse the narrative device with the sporting strategy, when we forget that the story is the product and not the ingredient"

At what stage does McCann need to worry? If he gets January wrong it's curtains for Rovers in League One...let's hope he can get it right again.

I know Brooks and Mito Pereira maybe aren't the best examples, but these departures aren't a good sign for LIV.
PGA Tour should let Koepka back in, show the bridge can mend and take some power back.

One of the best Everton wins and performances of my lifetime.
To a man they worked so hard, played so well and deserved the win. That is a sweet, sweet feeling tonight.

It's really poor from McLaren. Just avoid anything like this and you've basically win the title. Now Max has halved the deficit.
Norris will need an extremely clean weekend in Qatar to bring it home.

The Cardinals are woeful. Must have had a dozen penalties in the first half, down 15 points, playing scared.
Fire this inept coaching staff, trade Kyler in the off-season and start all over again...again.

Look, I really like The Race and their coverage (podcasts are brilliant) but headlines like this wind me up.
Kimi is a 19 year old rookie, he's had predictable ups and downs this year. Finally what?
The article is fine as well but I wish they wouldn't lean into clickbait and hyperbole so much.
