Boubacar Kamara is becoming more than Aston Villa’s defensive anchor. His positional intelligence, composure in possession and ability to progress the ball give Unai Emery greater tactical flexibility. @Cerebralcardo examines how Kamara’s evolving role is transforming Villa’s midfield. breakingthelines.com/@cerebr…

D.C. United will likely be eliminated from playoff contention tonight, but there’s still a lot of positives to take from this season, and Hosei Kijima’s individual growth is one of them. I’m expecting him to rebound from this metatarsal injury and come back even stronger in 2027.
Hosei Kijima was 12 when he left Japan for the United States. After receiving 27 detentions in his first year at IMG Academy, he transformed himself into a dedicated student of the game. Today, he's carving out his own path in MLS. @ZachLowy: breakingthelines.com/@zachlo…

After starring at Wake Forest, Kijima scored on his professional debut for St. Louis CITY SC before moving to D.C. United. Now 24, he's navigating injuries, competition, and a changing tactical role, while drawing inspiration from Kobe Bryant and dreaming of representing Japan.

Real one always knew Kamara was the don in that Aston Villa midfield. Never particularly rated Tielemans & Onana good dude but not all that.

The new Champions League format isn’t for everyone, but it’s certainly helped produce a lot of thrilling comebacks and upsets like we saw between Bayern and Viking. Great read:
2-0 up. 3-2 down. A 90th-minute equalizer. Viking FK produced one of the most remarkable results of this season's Champions League, holding Bayern Munich to a thrilling 3-3 draw in Stavanger.

Ironically Bouba was a centre back at Marseille.. that’s where he started playing before he transitioned into a DM Bounar Sarr was a good winger who also became a right back with time

Viking raced to a 2-0 lead through Gianni Stensness and Peter Christiansen, but Bayern came roaring back via Harry Kane's brace, before Luis Díaz completed the turnaround. Surely Bayern had escaped? Not quite.

Michael Olise's 74th-minute dismissal handed Viking a lifeline, and Herman Haugen made Bayern pay with a dramatic equalizer. For Bayern, it was two points thrown away. For Viking, it was a night to remember. From Viking's fearless attacking approach to Bayern's second-half resurgence and Olise's costly loss of discipline, this match had everything.

Today I spoke on how Boubacar Camara is transitioning under Emery since the exit on Tielemans on @breakthelines and how it has shape Villa midfield

Is Boubacar Kamara a more talented player than Nicolas Jackson, Ibrahim Mbaye, Alysson, Johan Manzambi, and Emiliano Buendía? Perhaps not. Is he the most indispensable player in Aston Villa’s squad? I’d argue yes. This is a fantastic read by @Cerebralcardo:

This is the widest-open Ballon d'Or race I can remember. From the 30 candidates, I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if Kane, Yamal, Mbappé, Olise, Kvaratskhelia, Ousmane, or Rodri end up winning it. It's a complete free-for-all.
Kylian Mbappé has won the World Cup, broken countless records, and established himself among football's elite. But one prize continues to elude him: the Ballon d'Or. Could 2026 finally be his year? Victor Etire on why Mbappé could win the award today: breakingthelines.com/@victor…

25 La Liga goals. 15 Champions League goals. 10 World Cup goals. 3 Golden Boots. Mbappé may have the individual numbers to make a compelling case, but with Harry Kane and Lamine Yamal boasting stronger trophy credentials, will his goalscoring exploits be enough?

The real difference between Millennials and Gen Zers is whether they still take unbridled joy in Manchester United being terrible, or whether they just feel bad for them.
Manchester United's crisis continues. Days after being thrashed 4-1 by Como in the Champions League, United have suffered another humiliating defeat, losing 3-0 at home to Bournemouth. How did one of Europe's biggest clubs fall so far? @karan_tejwani26: breakingthelines.com/@karan/…

Today's defeat to Bournemouth was another reminder that United's problems run far deeper than any individual manager. From a European powerhouse to a club struggling for consistency in the Premier League, their incessant decline has been more than a decade in the making.

The Champions League hasn't simply moved on without Manchester United. The entire footballing landscape has evolved while United have struggled to adapt. Whilst they may have no other choice but to sack Michael Carrick, it'll take a lot more than a new coach to steady the ship.
