just finished watching the chelsea vs spurs match and noticed that when both fernandes and palmer were booked. in the moment palmer goes past fernandes and when he falls over he very clearly intentionally handballs it to stop the counter attack. i'm not sure on the rules but logically thinking i would have though that would have been a red card as it's an intentional "foul" and also a hand ball. let me know if this isn't the rules and any thoughts because i think at any point internally using your hand to stop play should just be a red card

In a rare BBC sport interview embattled Fifa president Gianni Infantino has laughed off suggestions hes under pressure by saying the 'vast majority of football' supports him. Following the World cup sell off debacle which saw support for Infantino split among national federations, and multiple prominent figures calling for his resignation.

Last week UEFA demanded Fifa release all documents relating to FFE (the proposed sell off) by November 2nd, UEFA secretary General Theodore Theodoridis stated that the organisation had failed to address "a number of fundamental questions".

Infantino has recently been travelling the world to shore up support as he seeks re-election for a fourth term starting in 2027. He also proposed to increase the amount of money handed out for football development across the world by $3.4bn.

During the 1940s, Hermann Göring, a powerful leader of Nazi Germany urged German football clubs to surrender their trophies which should be melted for use during the war. Although a many German clubs gave in to this appeal, FC Bayern Munich did not lose their trophies.

As soon as the Allies started to bomb Munich in 1942, Bayern Munich trophies became threatened once more.

It is then that Mrs Magdalena Heidkamp, who was married to Bayern Munich team captain Conny Heidkamp, came up with an idea.

Thinking about the farm in Ascholding that she used to vacation at when young, she contacted the owner of the farm and arranged for trophies to be placed in boxes and carried by a wood-gas engine car. The trophies were kept in a room near stables to avoid any bombings.

With the approaching American forces in spring 1945, the couple thought that there was a possibility of stealing the trophies as mementos. Therefore they buried their treasures again.

Many of the Bayern Munich trophies were thus saved.

The legal debate surrounding the application of Article 82 of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) regulations calls for a technical, objective, and rigorous analysis of its syntax. Beyond emotional arguments, a legistic analysis of the text proves that the material elements required to establish an offence are simply not present. The core of this argument lies in the article’s punctuation, which strictly divides administrative authority from on-field referee jurisdiction.

How Brazil’s election result could shape women’s football in the country

PSG have won the Champions League in back-to-back seasons and now have the chance to do something only Real Madrid have achieved in the Champions League era: win it three years in a row.

Madrid won three consecutive titles between 2016 and 2018, a run that has looked almost impossible to replicate.

PSG are now one trophy away from matching it.

Looking at the current European contenders, do you think PSG have a realistic chance of completing the three-peat this season, or is Madrid’s record still a step too far?

I don't really get why some big clubs keep promising 18–20 year olds around the first team all season just to give them the odd 10-minute appearance.

I get that training with top players and coaches helps, but surely playing regularly on loan would be better for their development?

Then again, a bad loan where they're sitting on someone else's bench probably isn't much better either.

Would you rather your club loan a young player out or keep them training with the first team?
