Real Oviedo on the brink of promotion to La Liga. Santi Cazorla still kickin' it – at age 40. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/soccer/cazorla-40-sends-oviedo-into-la-liga-play-off-final/ar-AA1GAHnz To think that fans had so save the club more than twelve years ago.

"Pet Sounds" is probably one of the most beautifully crafted pop albums of all times. The world has lost a musical genius. The Mozart of his era.

Is the battery life really as bad as some claim it to be? I've watched a video and a full charge apparently lasts more than half as long as the one on the Switch 1 OLED model (playing Fortnite straight through until the battery hit 0%; 2 hours and 13 minutes, compared to almost 5 1/2 hours).

ManU third shirt:

Rovrum's centenary shirts:

Apparantly a nod to the 1974/75 away shirt. I find this one from their retro range quite interesting – I didn't know Chelsea used green in their kits:

Two talented girls from... Argentina.

Chelsea away shirt:

Fiorentina tickets are advertised on the LCFC website... but no tickets available yet. This club.

Been waiting for this for about a decade – XBOX goes handheld: https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2025/06/08/xbox-handheld-rog-ally-x-games-showcase/ Out later this year. Just hope the console isn't too pricey.

Speaking of established football clubs going bankrupt, that's what happened to KFC Uerdingen 05 (previously known as Bayer 05 Uerdingen). Withdrew from the Regionalliga this April. All players were subsequently released. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KFC_Uerdingen_05 Uerdingen won the German Cup against Bayern in 1985, and the Intertoto Cup several times. They had a crazy 1985/1986 season in the UEFA Cup, beating Dynamo Dresden (then still part of the GDR) in spectacular fashion, later losing to Atlético Madrid. They played in the Bundesliga for several years, in an era where clubs such as SG Wattenscheid 09 or FC Homburg were in the top flight, too. Hope they come back stronger and better.

Lincoln City home:

Newcastle United home:

Random lower league football kit news of the day: Halesowen Town FC home and away. (Don't ask me why, it's probably the belltower crest)

All that German media hype pre-match about not having lost against Portugal in years, especially with Ronaldo in their squad.

Delap to Chelsea confirmed? https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/cx2qe069zl1o

Don't Castore have major quality issues? I heard a lot of talk about logos/crests easily peeling off, the shirts getting destroyed upon a first wash. Or is that a thing of the past and they're reliable now?

Umbro do make beautiful football shirts – Grêmio's new 2nd kit:

Fubar is just.... bad. Arnold Schwarzenegger in an action role in his mid- to late 70ies just doesn't do it for me. And his "daughter" in the series is just plain annoying, the bad-ass character not believable. Bad writing, bad acting, a casting that ticks all boxes (minorities are a must, sauf Asian-Americans, as per usual).

Unbelievable comeback from Oldham. Third goal was a freak, but spectacular nevertheless.

That Yoganathan fellow is all over the place, just not on the pitch.

We might have reason to celebrate the ten-year anniversary of our title-winning-season in a year's time - provided we achieve promotion. Other than that, not much to cheer about these days. Squad issues, ownership, sponsorship and (upper) management issues, ticket prices (not lowering them after relegation is a dick move, imho). Could all have been different, if it hadn't been for a plethora of utterly poor decisions on and off the pitch.

Oldham vs. Southend today. Would like to see the Latics back in the Football League, much more than the Shrimpers.

I'd like to see him back in a Leicester shirt, he was one of the bright stars in an otherwise rather poor squad.
