World Cup 2026 - USA/Canada/Mexico
Venues to be announced by FIFA in a ceremony later today. 23 stadiums will be reduced to around 14-16 across the three countries.

Ongoing British Tennis…

Other team's new kits
Any decent offerings or horrors this year people have seen? Norwich are the worst I've seen so far, not only are all 3 kits horrible, the worst being the 3rd kit: But they have gone home - yellow and green halves, away - green with yellow stripes, and 3rd kit - yellow and green hoops. Defeats the object of any away kit…

Savings and Investments thread
I hope that like many other fine threads on CL this one will be a place where Lifers can share both knowledge and experience to help others. It isn't for "rich" Lifers. It's the way of the modern world that all of us have to try and save for old age. And it is not the place for politics, even though politics affects our…

England v Ghana | World Cup Group L | 23 June 2026
After an impressive 4-2 win over Croatia, can it be followed up against Ghana? Both teams on three points after one game played so the winner of tomorrow’s game would confirm their qualification for the round of 32. An England win paired with a Croatia win over Panama will confirm England top the group with a game to spare.

Official CL weekend Lycra warriors thread (cycling)

Jens Lehmann went a whole season in the Champions League without conceding a goal, and got all the way to the final. Sergio Ramos has scored more goals than Andres…
