During Covid there was a trend of football fans asking their their non-football-fan relatives to name an XI of players they knew. It was a fun, silly game, so I asked my mum to do one because I missed her. Two years since her passing feels like a good time to share it. ❤️

This might be the greatest ever community note on the app
Cristiano Ronaldo has never lost a match in which he scored the winning goal. 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥 🇵🇹
Community note
Factual Error. Despite the wording of this tweet making it seem impossible for Ronaldo to lose despite scoring the winning goal, this is still incorrect. Ronaldo scored the winning goal in a 1-0 defeat to Grenada in 2013. He scored this winning goal in the wrong net. fotmob.com/match/1260026?

The problem with this type of shock humour comedian now is that the jokes are like, fine, 6/10 that nobody would care to complain about. But prefacing the whole bit with 'I'm not allowed to say these things!' sucks 99.9% of the humour out of the joke.

If England win at Old Trafford, the broadcasters would be wise to agree a deal to show the fifth and decisive Test on free-to-air as well - would be a record audience
Sky's coverage of cricket is first class. But lack of free-to-air matches is a serious issue. Previous Channel 4 coverage had 300% more viewers than subscription channel. England’s 2021 Test series defeat in India brought in 9million UK viewers. Sport must remain accessible.
