This guy. During the 2022 celebrations w/ Thailand, Mano spotted me filming, walked over, shook my hand, & thanked me for my work on the tournament. Pure class I’ll never forget. Thanks for always being candid, kind, & determined to grow football in ASEAN. Happy birthday, coach!

🇨🇳 The 2026 Chinese Super League kicks off today - and it looks firmly set to be one of the strangest seasons across the entire football world this year. More than half (9/16) teams are starting the campaign with minus points due to historic offences related to match-fixing,

The saga continues. What will this mean for JDT and their ACLE and Shopee Cup campaigns? For Malaysia's Asian Cup hopes? Anxious couple of days/weeks ahead here in KL.
CAS partly upheld an appeal by seven players sanctioned in Malaysia’s eligibility scandal. The Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled their 12-month ban applies only to official matches, allowing them to train with clubs. FAM must still pay a CHF350,000 fine imposed by FIFA.

I love football. But it’s mutated into something else. I know “game’s gone” is a casual term we use for changes we don’t like, but the game IS going. Ad breaks during each half at the World Cup, expanded formats, more new tournaments, unclear laws. Decisions are being made to

What? Is this NOT what people mean when they say “be like Barca?”
Paju Frontier FC caused controversy by arriving at the K League 2 opener in the bus from FC Barcelona's Korea tour. General Manager Hwangbo Kwan apologized today for the administrative oversight.

Being in the stands at the 1994 @FIFAWorldCup changed my life forever. With 2026 ticket prices soaring, how many kids lose that “this is possible” moment? New column for @TheAthletic. https://t.co/QERr0pY41H

As good as the 94 World Cup was for the game on the States, this edition may well have the opposite effect. Very difficult, if not impossible, to see how this disaster will inspire a generation.
The World Cup is supposed to stand for hope, unity and footballing brilliance. The 2026 edition does not feel that way. Geopolitical turmoil, domestic strife in the U.S. and Mexico and claims that pricing policies are exploiting fans have cast a pall over the tournament. Maybe

It took FIFA hours to condemn Russia back in 2022 and 4 days to get them banned. They’ve not condemned the U.S. Israeli attacks on Iran so far and definitely won’t get them banned. In fact, it’s more likely that Iran will withdraw from the World Cup.

I’ve seen some truly absurd nonsense in ASEAN football, but even we’ve never done THIS.
What a shit show this is. Both teams in black, fans storming the field, and they end up knocking over Messi. Wow.
