FA statement: 'We have listened to the concerns expressed over the last 24 hours and are proud to announce our new FA Cup format of 8 Premier League clubs playing in Dubai whenever they can be bothered.'

Generally people are putting a brave face on it, but did see one man openly weeping, asked him what was wrong and all he could say was: 'it's the coefficient' before managing to say '17.375' through choking sobs. Tough day for us all.

🇸🇲 SAN MARINO (women's U-16s) WIN A GAME!

In only their second ever match, San Marino's women's Under-16s triumph over Estonia on penalties having conceded late to draw 1-1.

Italian lower-league football is pure chaos.

‘An evening with Graeme Souness, just an evening?’

Met a guy who said he worked for Deloitte, just moved back from Istanbul office, so, naturally, I barked ‘Turkish Deloitte!’ Nothing. I said: ‘you probably get that a lot’ and he just said not really. Beginning to worry I’m not good at small talk.

Enjoying watching my first live Fenix Trophy game at a very windy CPD Llanilltud Fawr/Llantwit Major AFC. The hosts lead Enfield Town FC 1-0. Great atmosphere at the non-league Champions League!

Thanks to AI’s definitely accurate predictions, I’m going to live to 102 just to see Sheriff Tiraspol win the Champions League, then I can go peacefully.

Everton will see that as two points dropped.

Huge missed opportunity not calling Ronaldinho’s son Sonaldinho.

To be fair to Fenerbahçe, conceding a first minute goal to a player who’s far better than you and thinking you might as well just go home is very relatable. It’s basically my five-a-side career.

They should play at the Brew Camp.

🇬🇺 There's a team in Guam's top league, the Budweiser G-League, called Beercelona.

Sadly Beercelona suffered a 7-0 defeat to Southern Cobras.

Other teams include Quality Distributors and Sidekick FC in a new 15-team league system.

🇫🇲 Huge thanks to everyone who deluged FIFA with Micronesia tweets yesterday. We even trended at one point!

Did FIFA crack under the pressure? No. But it raised awareness of the fact there's a nation that's been playing football for 30 years that isn't being given any help.
