It's just a week until the first whistle of the 2026 World Cup. To celebrate, Madeleine Finlay sits down with Ian Sample to discuss the science behind the tournament. It's set to be one of the hottest World Cups on record and a group of scientists has written to Fifa asking them to reconsider their heat mitigations for players and referees. Dr Oliver Gibson of Brunel University outlines their concerns. Also on the agenda is the huge fossil fuel impact of this tournament, and the impact of VAR on the psychology of referees, and fans.

Var det noget med en skudefuld æbleskiver med medisterpølse og sirup ud over? Måske ikke, men netop den ret er altså en af hovedattraktionerne ved Tivoli Fest, der er årets højdepunkt i danskerbyen Elk Horn i Iowa. Her fejrer indbyggerne deres danske rødder og folk fra nær og fjern strømmer til for at fejre danskheden. Men hvordan gør man egentlig det, når ens eget land truer Danmark i et forsøg på at overtage Grønland? Det tog Politikens Anders Tornsø til Tivoli-festen i Elk Horn for at finde ud af. Han er dagens gæst i 'Du lytter til Politiken', hvor vi spørger ham, hvordan han selv oplever at rejse rundt som dansker ’over there’ – og hvordan konflikten mellem Danmark og USA tager sig ud i danskerbyen frem imod midtvejsvalget senere på året.

Send us Fan MailCollege soccer is about to change in ways that will hit everyone on match day: referees, coaches, players, and the people in the stands wondering why the game has stopped again. After sharing a personal weekend at the brand-new U.S. Soccer National Training Center, including the eye-opening mechanics of officiating deaf and power wheelchair matches, we bring on one of the best voices to explain what's coming next for the NCAA.John Collins, the NCAA national coordinator of soccer officials and a professional assessor across MLS, NWSL, and USL, walks us through the biggest NCAA soccer rules changes. We dig into the move to a coach-initiated video review challenge system, what incidents are actually reviewable, and why replay in college can be painfully slow without a full VAR team, dedicated replay operators, and a deep set of camera angles. John also breaks down why the fourth official becomes even more important now, how substitution opportunities shift when the clock is stopped, and what the optional Video Match Official role could mean for the future.We also tackle the men's Division I fall-spring calendar proposal, the student-athlete wellness case behind it, and the ripple effects on referee scheduling, development, and opportunity across all divisions. We wrap with the cultural hold of the countdown clock, plus discipline updates like simplifying violent behavior categories and new bench decorum accountability that puts staff cautions onto the head coach's accumulation. If you care about NCAA soccer officiating, video review, coach challenges, and the direction of the college game, this is the roadmap. Subscribe, share with your referee crew, and leave a review with your take on coach challenges and replay time.Support the show

Among the selections are the exact gait of a referee going over to check the VAR monitor, a tiny element of Baddiel & Skinner's Three Lions you have probably never noticed, the epidemic of fans "coming in peace" to rival club forums and the exact criteria for a player to be said to be “jumping ship”.

This week Mark is joined by comedian, actor, cricket obsessive and national treasure Alan Davies for a conversation that covers childhood trauma, football VAR, council bureaucracy, working-class warehouses, stand-up comedy in the 80s, Peter Snow in a BBC toilet, and why comedians instinctively know when someone is “not really a comic”. Alan talks candidly about the deeply personal experiences behind his memoirs Just Ignore Him and White Male Stand-Up, including grief, abuse, anger and the strange way comedy became both an escape and a substitute family. Along the way there are stories about Barry Manilow on the motorway, being buried under coat hangers in a van, fights in comedy clubs, the glory days of the circuit, and why every workplace secretly survives because everyone is covering for each other.

Tottenham head into the final day needing a point against Everton to avoid relegation, but none of us quite know how to feel anymore. We're joined by Dan Kilpatrick to talk through the dread, the strange emotional numbness around survival, and whether staying up would bring relief, celebration, or anger at how we got here in the first place. We discuss Roberto De Zerbi's calming influence, the pressure around Sunday, Spurs' broken squad, recruitment failures, Kinsky, Romero, VAR paranoia, media narratives, and what the summer rebuild might actually look like.

Spurs lost 2-1 at Chelsea — but the numbers say we were the better side. 2.15 xG to Chelsea's 1.09, and 67% of the game's big chances. And now the whole season comes down to one game against Everton. Jim is joined on The Originals by Stu in Dubai and Si in Switzerland to pick through a frustrating night at Stamford Bridge and answer a stack of Oso 33 member questions. We get into why the data and the eye test tell completely different stories, the Enzo Fernández screamer and the Kinsky question, the front-three problem and an honest defence of Richarlison, the VAR decisions still baffling us — the Delap elbow, the Cucurella booking that makes no sense — and what fans can realistically do about officiating. Plus the most honest question of the season from Oso 33 member Howard: have Spurs ever stressed you this much, and how are you coping? A point against Everton on Sunday and we're safe. The Originals is the panel show from Oh So Spurs — higher-quality, more nuanced fan content from people who've actually been through this season. Smarter than the angry-pundit register, but still fans, with the cautious belief that comes with it. If you got something out of the episode, please follow the show, drop us a rating, and share it with a Spurs fan who needs to get through to Sunday. And to the OhSo33 crew, keep it lily-white.

Ārēji spoža, bet saturiski patukša – tā daudzi komentētāji vērtē Savienoto Valstu prezidenta Donalda Trampa vizīti Ķīnā. Naktī no 16. uz 17. maiju Krievija piedzīvoja vēsturiski lielāko ukraiņu spēku gaisa triecienu. ASV kara sekretārs Pīts Hegsets apturējis paredzēto 4000 amerikāņu karavīru nosūtīšanu iepriekš plānotā misijā uz Poliju. Aktualitātes analizē atvaļinātais vēstnieks Gints Jegermanis un politologs Andis Kudors. Maskava dūmos Naktī no 13. uz 14. maiju agresorvalsts Krievija vērsa pret Ukrainu kārtējo slepkavniecisko lidrobotu un raķešu triecienu. Šīs reizes asiņainā bilance ir 27 nogalināti mierīgie iedzīvotāji, tai skaitā 24 vienā Kijivas adresē, kur raķete ietriecās daudzstāvu dzīvojamajā mājā. Tāpat ir desmiti ievainoto, bojāta energoapgādes un transporta infrastruktūra. Tā Kremļa diktators atmaksā Ukrainai par pazemojumu, kuru viņam nācās piedzīvot 9. maijā, kad iespēja netraucēti rīkot parādi Sarkanajā laukumā tika izkaulēta ar Donalda Trampa starpniecību. Taču tie laiki, kad Kremlis varēja nesodīti terorizēt Ukrainu, ir pagātnē. Avoti min, ka naktī no 16. uz 17. maiju Krievija piedzīvoja vēsturiski lielāko ukraiņu spēku gaisa triecienu. Sevišķi iezīmīgi ir tas, ka viens no galvenajiem mērķiem bija Maskava un tās apkārtne, kuru Krievijas pretgaisa aizsardzība sargā sevišķi centīgi ne vien īpašajos datumos, bet arī ikdienā. Kā apgalvo Maskavas apgabala vadība, apmēram 120 lidroboti esot notriekti, taču pietiekami daudzi tomēr tika līdz mērķim. Postījumi nodarīti stratēģiski nozīmīgajām mikroelektronikas ražotnēm Zeļenogradas pilsētā, raķešu ražošanā iesaistītajai rūpnīcai „Raduga” Dubnā, aizdedzināta Maskavas Naftas pārstrādes rūpnīca Kopotņā un degvielas rezervuāri Durnovo pilsētā. Tāpat ukraiņu lidrobotu trieciens izraisījis plašu ugunsgrēku vienā no lielākajām Krievijas naftas pārstrādes rūpnīcām Rjazaņā. Vairākos gadījumos ukraiņu lidroboti trāpījuši arī dzīvojamajām ēkām, ir pieci bojāgājušie, tai skaitā kāds indiešu viesstrādnieks. Maskavas pretgaisa aizsardzības sistēma neapšaubāmi ir visnopietnākā visā valstī, ja neskaita vadoņa Putina ārpilsētas rezidences apkārtni Valdaja augstienē. Tomēr ukraiņu trieciens izrādījies ļoti labi plānots, atrodot sistēmā robus. Tas vēlreiz apliecina modernās karadarbības patiesību, ka dārgas un tehniski sarežģītas pretgaisa aizsardzības sistēmas īsti netiek galā ar lētu un salīdzinoši vienkārši izgatavojamu lidrobotu spietiem. Maskavas un tās apkārtnes iedzīvotājos šī jaunā realitāte ar karu, kurš beidzot pieklauvējis arī pie viņu durvīm, izraisījusi paniku, sašutumu un vaicājumus par to, vai vadonis Putins vispār esot lietas kursā par situāciju. Pekinas vizīšu konveijers Ārēji spoža, bet saturiski patukša – tā daudzi komentētāji vērtē Savienoto Valstu prezidenta Donalda Trampa pagājušās nedēļas vizīti Ķīnas Tautas republikā. Aizokeāna viesim tika izrādīta visa pienācīgā cieņa, taču, runājot par nozīmīgākajiem divu pasaules superlielvalstu attiecību aspektiem, nekāda būtiska attīstība nav panākta. Ir gan arī komentētāji, kā, piemēram, izdevuma „Guardian” citētais konsultāciju kompānijas „Asia Group” līdzstrādnieks Džordžs Čens, kuri pauž, ka pats vizītes fakts un ciešāka dialoga atjaunošana starp Baltā nama saimnieku un Ķīnas līderi Sji Dzjiņpinu ir zināms sasniegums. Šī brīža aktuālais temats, protams, ir konflikts Tuvajos Austrumos un bloķētais Hormuza jūrasceļš, no kā cieš arī Ķīnas ekonomika. Pēc visa spriežot, Trampam nav izdevies panākt, lai Pekina izmantotu savu ietekmi, mudinot Irānu uz piekāpību. Ķīnas ārlietu resors neapstiprināja prezidenta apgalvojumus, ka namatēvs viņam solījis nepiegādāt Irānai militāro ekipējumu. Tāpat Ķīnas amatpersonu izteikumi tikai daļēji apstiprina Trampa teikto par „fantastiskajiem” komercdarījumiem, konkrēti – simtiem lidmašīnu pirkšanu no kompānijas „Boeing”. Toties Ķīnas vadonis Sji, domājams, ir gandarīts par to, kā samitā izvērtās Taivānas jautājuma traktējums. Viņa publiski teiktais bija: nepareiza rīcība no Vašingtonas puses var izraisīt „sadursmes un pat konfliktus” starp lielvarām. Savukārt no Donalda Trampa mutes vizītes laikā izskanēja frāze, ka viņš negribot pieredzēt nekādu Taivānas neatkarības pasludināšanu. Kā zināms, pašreizējais Taivānas prezidents Lai Cjinde pieder tam taivāniešu politikas spārnam, kas principā atbalsta virzību uz pilnvērtīgu valstisku suverenitāti, un tas no Pekinas viedokļa būtu Ķīnas suverenitātes pārkāpums un iemesls karam. Taivānas vadītājs, reaģējot uz Pekinas samitā pausto, izteicies, ka viņa valstij neesot kaut kas jāpasludina, ja tā jau ir neatkarīga un demokrātiska valsts. Tomēr Taipejai netrūkst iemesla bažīties, ciktāl Donalds Tramps joprojām nav apstiprinājis paredzēto ieroču piegādes paketi Taivānai četrpadsmit miljardu dolāru apmērā un dienu pēc vizītes intervijā telekanālam „Fox News'izteicies, ka šīs piegādes esot labs kaulēšanās līdzeklis sarunās ar Pekinu. Pekinas Aizliegtās pilsētas zāles, var teikt, bija tikko izmēztas pēc iepriekšējā rauta, kad vakar Ķīnas galvaspilsētā oficiālā vizītē ieradās agresorvalsts vadonis Vladimirs Putins. Pekina šādi demonstrē visai pasaulei un arī pašmāju sabiedrībai savu ārkārtīgi pieaugušo svaru pasaules politikā. Savukārt Kremlis, atšķirībā no padomiskās pagātnes, tagad kļuvis par ķīniešu „mazāko brāli” un kopš agresijas kara pret Ukrainu eskalācijas ir izšķiroši atkarīgs no Pekinas gan militāri izmantojamu izstrādājumu importa, gan Krievijas energoresursu eksporta ziņā. Tā nu uz „Padebešu impērijas” galvaspilsētu mūslaiku Maskavijas cars devies ne vien pēc apliecinājuma īpašajām stratēģiskajām partnerattiecībām, bet arī cerot uz jaunu vērienīgu naftas un gāzes iepirkuma līgumu. Nepelnīts pliķis sejā Pagājušajā ceturtdienā, 14. maijā, tika oficiāli apstiprināta informācija, par kuru mediji tika ziņojuši jau dienu iepriekš: Savienoto Valstu kara sekretārs Pīts Hegsets pēkšņi apturējis paredzēto 4000 amerikāņu karavīru nosūtīšanu iepriekš plānotā misijā uz Poliju. Sevišķi pārsteidzošs šis lēmums ir tāpēc, ka attiecīgā pārdislocēšanas operācija jau bija praktiski uzsākta. Hegseta pavēle ir pilnīgi negaidīta ne vien Polijas aizsardzības struktūrām un NATO spēku vadībai Eiropā, bet arī procesā iesaistītajiem amerikāņu militāristiem. Pentagona pārstāvis gan apgalvojis, ka tas bijis izsvērts un rūpīgi izstrādāts lēmums, tomēr realitātē par to nekas neliecina. Tas visnotaļ skaidri izskanēja nākamajā dienā notikušajā ASV Kongresa Pārstāvju palātas Bruņoto spēku komitejas sēdē, kur armijas budžeta sakarā tika iztaujāts armijas lietu ministrs Deniels Driskols un Armijas štāba priekšnieka pienākumu izpildītājs ģenerālis Kristofers Lanīvs. Kongresmeņi, kā demokrāti, tā republikāņi, bija visai skarbi savos izteikumos; arī tāpēc, ka Pīts Hegsets šajā gadījumā pārkāpis pieņemto kārtību, kas prasītu šādu lēmumu saskaņot ar likumdevēju. Saskaņā ar pagājušā gada jūlijā pieņemtu Kongresa rezolūciju administrācijai ir ierobežotas tiesības bez likumdevēja ziņas mazināt amerikāņu spēku klātbūtni sabiedroto teritorijā. „Tas ir pliķis sejā Polijai, pliķis sejā mūsu Baltijas draugiem un pliķis sejā šai komitejai,” sacīja republikāņu kongresmenis Dons Beikons no Nebraskas pavalsts. Abi iztaujātie amatvīri tā arī nespēja sakarīgi argumentēt notikušā militāri taktisko loģiku. Kā zināms, Polija līdz šim uzlūkota kā Savienoto Valstu paraugsabiedrotais, kura aizsardzības budžets – 4,8% no iekšzemes kopprodukta – ir proporcionāli lielākais visā aliansē. Poļi allaž centušies radīt vislabākos apstākļus viņu valstī dislocētajiem amerikāņu karavīriem, un viņu politiķi vairījušies jebkādi kritizēt Donaldu Trampu un viņa administrācijas politiku. Arī tagad no Varšavas izskan drīzāk nomierinoši signāli un aicinājumi nepiešķirt notikušajam pārlieku dramatismu. Tomēr tā vien šķiet, ka šis varētu būt Baltā nama saimnieka kārtējais impulsīvais solis, turpinājums viņa nepatikas izpaudumiem pret „nodevīgo Eiropu”, kura nav bijusi gatava pēc pieprasījuma atbalstīt Savienoto Valstu un Izraēlas militāro kampaņu pret Irānu. Sagatavoja Eduards Liniņš.

Arsenal arrive at match 37 knowing only a win will do. Two points clear, two games left, one goal behind on goal difference — the context is everything. Gavin, Elliot, and Justin open by unpacking a lineup that raises as many questions as it answers. Havertz up top, Eze and Ødegaard in midfield together, Cristhian Mosquera at right back — it's a selection with ambition baked in, but the balance debate starts immediately.The first half is where the episode lives longest. Arsenal are dominant, chances arrive, and the hosts walk through a sequence of missed opportunities and near-misses that paint a picture of a side that should have been out of sight. Then comes the moment that defines the conversation around officiating — a foul on Saka that every player on the pitch apparently recognises, waved away, and left alone by VAR. The hosts don't let it go quickly, and nor should they.The goal, when it comes, is a set piece. Saka's delivery, Havertz rising, and a celebration that starts before the ball lands. A moment of clarity in an episode full of tension.The second half shifts the texture of the review. A Havertz challenge on Lesley Ugochukwu dominates the discussion — studs down, no force, the ref waves it on, VAR stays silent. The hosts are divided on whether fortune or officiating is the bigger factor, and the broader conversation about how referees and VAR interact becomes one of the episode's most structured debates. Two significant calls in one game, both wrong — the mechanics of why get a full airing.Burnley's physical approach and the referee's willingness to allow it runs as a thread throughout, culminating in a wider reckoning with refereeing consistency and the narrative pundits and commentators build around it.After the match is wrapped, the hosts pull back. The stats versus feelings disconnect — a dominant display that felt like a stress test — opens a broader conversation about what this Arsenal side has become, and why each win in the run-in feels harder than it should. From playing to the level of the opposition, to the gradual erosion of freedom in Arsenal's play across three seasons, to whether this is now Arteta's Premier League — the second half of the episode carries real weight.It ends on Palace.

On this episode of the Joy of Football Podcast, Martin Tyler and Neil Barnett dive into the tactical evolution of modern football after Manchester City's FA Cup final defeat, discussing Pep Guardiola's latest system and why the old “4-4-2” was never quite as simple as people remember. The pair also pay tribute to some of the Premier League greats saying goodbye this summer, including Bernardo Silva, John Stones, Casemiro, Andy Robertson, Mo Salah, Seamus Coleman and Kieran Trippier - reflecting on what made them special both on and off the pitch. There's an unexpected intermission as Martin heads off to a Chelsea press conference before returning with fresh insight from Cobham, including the story behind Chelsea suddenly discovering the long throw. Martin's Letter From The Gantry focuses on preparations for his 13th World Cup, from commentary prep and travel logistics to memories of USA '94 and the remarkable story of how forgotten notes in Bilbao eventually led to meeting his future wife. ‘Three of the Best' features Adam Wharton, Floyd Samba, Didier Drogba, Antoine Semenyo and more, while feedback includes debate over VAR, England's shape ahead of the World Cup, and messages from listeners around the world. #JoyOfFootball #JoyOfFootballPodcast #PremierLeague #FootballPodcast #PepGuardiola #ManchesterCity #LiverpoolFC #ChelseaFC #ManchesterUnited #CrystalPalace #WorldCup #MartinTyler #PremierLeagueLegends #FAcup #MoSalah #BernardoSilva #Casemiro #AndyRobertson #KieranTrippier #SeamusColeman #DidierDrogba #AntoineSemenyo #FootballFans #PremierLeaguePodcast

Jaroslav Seifert, nositel Nobelovy ceny za literaturu, měl s vládnoucími komunisty přinejmenším komplikovaný vztah. Začalo to už za první republiky, kdy nesouhlasil s nástupem nového Gottwaldova vedení a „stalinistické“ cesty, pokračovalo to po válce a klíčovými mezníky byly jak únorový převrat roku 1948, tak okupace vojsky Varšavské smlouvy v srpnu 1968.Všechny díly podcastu Jak to bylo doopravdy můžete pohodlně poslouchat v mobilní aplikaci mujRozhlas pro Android a iOS nebo na webu mujRozhlas.cz.
The Clarets again showed an improved performance under caretaker manager Mike Jackson as they made the Premier League title chasers, the unlikeable Arsenal, work all the way to the end for their three points. VAR was again a talking point but so were some of the individual displays from Burnley as the team again suggested things might have been different this season. But what comes next for the Clarets?

Dharmesh Sheth is joined by Jacqui Oatley, Jason Burt and Mark Ogden to reflect on the weekend's sporting action.We kick things off with Man City's FA Cup win, edging Chelsea 1-0, as Chelsea appoint Xabi Alonso as their new manager; is Jason right to suggest they've lucked out with Alonso? We also consider Antoine Semenyo's stunning strike as the difference in a final that lacked drama, and discuss how City's experience once again helped them get over the line.Next stop, a dramatic climax to the Scottish Premiership title race, with Celtic pipping Hearts right at the death amid chaotic scenes. We discuss the fallout at full time, a less-than-satisfactory version of VAR, and the controversial midweek decision — before asking whether the arrival of Tony Bloom could turn Hearts into a genuine third force in Scottish football.Next, to news that Michael Carrick is set to get the Manchester United job on a permanent basis. Danyal Khan joins us from Old Trafford to reflect on Casemiro's farewell and Carrick's final home game of the season — but just how excited should United fans be by news of his potential two-year contract extension?Finally, another damaging defeat for Liverpool on Friday night, conceding four against Aston Villa and limping over the line for Champions League qualification. To add insult to injury, Salah appears to take a swipe at Arne Slot with a social media post calling for a return to “heavy metal football”, with several players also liking the post.-•You can watch the sporting action live on Sky Sports.

“Soccer matches are poorly designed experiments — you don't necessarily find out which team was better. But any soccer fan will tell you that. Oftentimes, the better team does not win.” — Nick Greene, via a NASA scientist On June 11, the World Cup comes to North America. Fifty-six years ago, I watched the searing injustice of Johann Cruyff's Holland getting robbed in the 1974 final by Germany. Today I talk with someone who explains how this kind of injustice is built into the game's DNA. Nick Greene — long-suffering Newcastle United fan and author of How to Watch Basketball Like a Genius — has a new book, How to Watch Soccer Like a Genius, which tells us what architects, stuntwomen, paleoanthropologists and computer scientists tell us about the beautiful game. What they tell us is that the game isn't fair. One NASA scientist tells Greene that soccer is a “poorly designed experiment” because the low-scoring nature of the game means results don't reliably identify the better team. Thus the dark fate of the free-scoring, brilliantly inventive Hungarians in 1954 and the Dutch in 1974. So if you want to watch the World Cup like a genius, don't expect the best team to win the tournament. Which may explain why Greene suspects that England — where the pain of World Cup injustice is a national fetish — will win in 2026. On penalties probably. Arsenal style. After 120 minutes of goalless football. Five Takeaways • Soccer Is a Poorly Designed Experiment: A NASA scientist published a peer-reviewed paper concluding that soccer is a “poorly designed experiment” — the low number of goals means results don't reliably identify the better team. Greene's observation: any soccer fan could have told him that, and saved the journal space. But this is also what makes the game what it is. Unlike basketball's seven-game playoff series — which gives the best team enough chances to emerge on top — a single World Cup match, in a single-elimination tournament, means one error can have outsized consequences. The imperfect and the human are inseparable. • Justice Has Nothing to Do With It: The 1974 Dutch vs 2004 Greece: Andrew's most painful memory: the 1974 World Cup final, where the magnificent Dutch side led by Cruyff was beaten by the Germans. The Dutch didn't win, but they are remembered as one of the greatest teams in history. The 2004 Greek side, which won Euro 2004 by parking the bus and grinding nil-nil victories, actually won — and are remembered as a fluke. The lesson Greene draws: the shared understanding built into soccer watching is that winning is only one metric, and often not the most important one. It is an imperfect and profoundly human enterprise. • How to Appreciate Defense: The cliché American complaint about soccer is the low scoring. Greene's response: this is partly a failure to appreciate defense, which in soccer can look like the absence of good offense. He discusses Italy's history of outstanding defensive play — the Catenaccio system, Paolo Maldini, Beckenbauer — and the intelligence required to prevent goals. Andrew's contribution: his wife, who watches American football, taught him that defense is where the sophistication lives. The same is true of soccer. The genius watcher watches the defenders. • VAR: Too Much, Going in the Right Direction: Greene's measured verdict on VAR — video assistant refereeing. His worst case: when it ruins a goal celebration. The player scores, the crowd erupts, the flag goes up, three minutes of review, okay everyone start celebrating again. That destroys the cathartic moment that makes soccer's rare goals so electrifying. His prediction: VAR will evolve toward the coach's challenge model used in American football and basketball — a limited number of challenges per half, preserving the flow of the game while correcting the worst errors. It's relatively young. It'll be futted and fidgeted with. • Don't Bet On It. Watch the Game: Greene's best advice for American newcomers to soccer. Not about tactics, not about history. Betting on soccer is a mug's game — partly because results don't reliably reflect the better team (the NASA paper again), and partly because talking about your bets is the least interesting conversation you can have about sport. His prediction for the tournament: England. Reasoning: Harry Kane is playing. Andrew's reaction: Kane is a Spurs man, so reluctant endorsement. But please, Nick. Don't. About the Guest Nick Greene is a contributing writer at Slate and the author of How to Watch Soccer Like a Genius: What Architects, Stuntwomen, Paleoanthropologists, and Computer Scientists Reveal About the World's Game (Abrams Press, May 12, 2026) and How to Watch Basketball Like a Genius (Abrams Press, 2021). His work has appeared in the Washington Post, Chicago Magazine, and elsewhere. He is a Newcastle United fan and lives in Berkeley, California.
