Ongoing British Tennis…

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.

Summer 2026 (Non- Charlton) Championship Transfers
As with the past 2 summers, I will update this thread with a list of all incomings for teams in our division. First though we will likely see outgoings with the retained lists that will be announced by most non-playoff sides this week. However Norwich jumped the gun and actually announced theirs last week, so will start…

Women's World Cup 2027
Lots of Charlton players are with countries that have a respectable chance of qualifying so perhaps it's worth giving this its own thread rather than distracting from the main women's team thread. Qualifying is complicated as most federations try to set things up to avoid too many 20-0 games, recognising that some…

Football facts that don't sound true (but are)
Inspired by the Aguero not being a PotY conversation, what other facts do you know that sound like they shouldn't be true but are? I'll start with a couple.

The closest airport to Maribor Edvard Rusjan Airport (MBX) is located just 9 km (about 6 miles) south of the city and Maribor's football stadium.

Managerial sackings, comings and goings

Keeping injured players on the pitch
Personally, irrespective of whether we have any substitutes available, I disagree with keeping injured players on the pitch just 'because we have to'. We don't have to. That includes Edwards, Bell, Godden, Sichenje and Docherty, who were all told to stay on. Some have since required surgery. The others have suffered…

Panama v England | World Cup Group L | 27 June 2026
Tuchel’s men will want to put Tuesday’s disappointing nil nil draw behind them when they play Panama later today. Reece James is confirmed out for the game (and likely round of 32) while there are reported concerns over both Rice and Anderson (though both are expected to play after all?)
