‘I feel Qatari, I feel African, I feel gay, I feel disabled’ said the white, straight, non-disabled Fifa President Gianni Infantino as he addressed the criticism surrounding the #FIFAWorldCup2022

So when invited us to watch them play , it was an obvious, ‘YES PLEASE’. Villa fan Cath was made up to see so many goals despite losing 5-0. What a hero she is!

Leaving aside club allegiance to watch as many teams as possible, see England’s national players perform at club level and watch great football is for me, an integral part of supporting the women’s game at this stage in its development. 🧵

The life of Diego Maradona, his stratospheric rise and then fall, is captured in magical new film.
The grounds on which Maradona was forced out of the 1994 USA World Cup serves as an allegory that wouldn’t be out of place in Dante’s The Divine Comedy ⤵️

Hands up if you think this World Cup is a shady racket but you may find yourself watching bits anyway, thus feeling guilty for something you’re supposed to enjoy
