New plans being worked on for a European Super League involve the competition being 100 per cent open, with no clubs holding permanent membership, the PA news agency understands.
A statement from the three clubs which still endorse the hugely controversial project – Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus – released on Friday conceded there were “elements of (the) proposal that should be reviewed”.
It is understood one of the key changes would be that no club would be immune from relegation from the continental league. The notion of a ‘closed shop’ was one of the major criticisms of the plans first announced in April.

The son of Equatorial Guinea’s president was sanctioned by the U.K. government and lost an appeal against a conviction in France for embezzlement, recent setbacks for a man who has stood for decades as a poster child for grand corruption.
Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue, who is also known as “Teodorin” and serves as the central African country’s vice president, was sanctioned for misappropriation of state assets into his own bank account, as well as solicitation of bribes and corrupt government contracting, to “fund a lavish lifestyle” inconsistent with his official salary, the U.K. said. Obiang spent more than USD 500 million since his appointment to a government ministry in 1998 even as one third of Equatorial Guinea’s population doesn’t have access to basic sanitation, according to the U.K. 

The Latest: Dallas judge says masks required in courthouses
By The Associated PressJuly 31, 2021 GMT
DALLAS — An administrative court judge has ordered that anyone entering a Dallas County courthouse must be wearing a mask to be admitted.
The order Friday by Administrative District Judge Maricela Moore requires masks to be worn in the common areas of the George Allen Courthouse, which houses the county’s civil courts; the Frank Crowley Courthouse, which houses its criminal courts; and the Henry Wade Building, which houses its juvenile courts. Those refusing could be barred from entering the buildings.
The order comes after Gov. Greg Abbott repeated his order banning any mask mandates by any state, county or local government entity. However, it cites as its authority a Texas Supreme Court order “that confirms the judiciary’s authority to take reasonable actions to avoid exposing court proceedings and participants to the threat of COVID-19.”

We caught up with Albina for a quick chat about the newest addition to her music catalogue.
Listen: “La La Love” — Albina
Not to be confused with Ivi Adamou’s or Eden Alene’s songs of the same name, Albina’s “La La Love” is a sultry summertime anthem complete with synth horns, a funky bassline and Spanish lyrics.
“It’s a type of female anthem”, Albina tells wiwibloggs. “It depicts different states of women’s character — one day you want someone by your side and the other you would rather dance alone — ‘bailar sola’. Women are often indecisive, but they always find their way to please themselves.”
