Football moves so quickly these days that it can be hard to keep track of everything. But fret not, weary traveller: David Squires is here to guide you through the pandemonium.

Taking us from 2018 to the 2024 Euro, Squires tackles some of the sport's most pressing questions: Is Emo Jos Mourinho doing okay after his latest ride on the managerial carousel? How many more teams will be lucky enough to be bought by 'benevolent' billionaires? Will Manchester City ever let anyone else win the Premier League again? And how on earth does FIFA continue to be laughably inept in almost every way imaginable . . . ?

Drawn from the immensely popular Guardian cartoons, Chaos in the Box captures modern football's most memorable - and ludicrous - moments.
