What a joyful message from Jordan Jarret Bryant. Such kind words. It warmed my heart, it did. Merry Christmas everyone!

of course not, he didn't make the guardian top 100 did he?

Is Morgan Rogers a good footballer?

You can try to put the toothpaste back in the tube, but at least it's out in the open. On the other hand if it turns out that most of us really are bad guys - then we're fucked.

Talk about RC Lens please. Top of Ligue 1 - how, why and can it be sustained?

I followed up on this and found Teniers' "Pictures of Collections" series. Can you recommend a source for me to read up on this genre? I'm fascinated by these works. To me they're counterintuitive and brilliantly detailed.

Please, tell me how we get rid of Infantino. FIFA is essentially immune to outside influence. The FBI raids resulted in removal of one corrupt regime and the emergence of an even more corrupt regime. Trump might get mad and turn against Gianni, but he can't send troops to FIFA headquarters.

How did Boubacar Kamara manage to get that much power from a standing shot? I've watched it several times, it makes no sense. Unlikeliest goal of the season.

Can you get Paul Watson's take on Cape Verde qualifying? And what are the chances they will play at the world cup wearing green capes?
