If you’re lucky enough to get a ticket for the final, please, please don’t boo the Italian anthem. A/ It’s an absolute belter and worth listening to. B/ It’s bloody rude, disrespectful and utterly classless.

If you boo @England  players for taking the knee, you’re part of the reason why players are taking the knee.

Football is nothing without its fans. We’ve seen that clearly over the last 12 months. If fans stand as one against this anti-football pyramid scheme, it can be stopped in its tracks.

News that @Ibra_official  has tested positive with Coronavirus. Thoughts are with the virus at this difficult time.

Lukaku being pulled back and refusing to fall down and then not getting a freekick is exactly why players dive. Referees need to reward honesty if it’s to change.

To beat Messi’s 644 goal record, someone will have to score an average of 43 goals a season for 15 years....for one club. ?

It’s utterly disgraceful that a statue to a slaver survived as long as it did.

If Messi is to leave @FCBarcelona  by activating a release clause, then I hope the club try to help, not hinder him. He’s been fiercely loyal and their greatest ever player. It would be terribly sad if it finished with a fight between the player and the club.

Reports from Argentina that Diego Armando Maradona has died. By some distance the best player of my generation and arguably the greatest of all time. After a blessed but troubled life, hopefully he’ll finally find some comfort in the hands of God. #RipDiego
