Me too. Lukaku hat trick preferably.

Such a negative game. Dull, dull, dull. Playing for penalties #SWI #COL

*Dancing*

Wimbledon set to expand by 29 hectares with acquisition of golf course. What’s this mean for sustainability?

Oh yes, you could @drpetewatson.bsky.social

T’egypt, innit?

Ugh. Eustáquio. What a cynical game. Much respect to the South Africa players and again terrible officiating.

England, home of the back pass & the frustrated manager in an ill-fitting cagoule.

Ecuador!

The cutback! #IVC

The countdown begins! WWC 2027 kicks off 24 June 2027. Who is planning to go to Brazil, and can we pull together a conference/event/ exhibition out there?

England, home of the back pass ⚽️

Delighted to be alongside some important pioneers here!

Go CIV! 1-0 GER great goal

Tedious in the extreme

I’ve watched Leeds United games circa 70s that were more about the football than this particular brand of perfomativity

Trouble with men, when they play football, they get too emotional ⚽️USA ⚽️AUS

England: home of the back pass

One would imagine he is in a field of sunflowers sipping a rose and painting to the sound of skylarks. #FRA 3 #SEN 1 1/2

I wonder what Cantona is doing this evening?

Indeed, you did 😉og though

Wooohooo 🥳 #Hammy! @scuderiaferrarif1.bsky.social

Delighted to be in such company….

Tonight on the BBC free to air, a group I’ve been working with as a team since 2018 and with individual players even longer. So delighted for Corinthians: we were the champions

www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... out this week for discussions of England and Englishness

I’m dong some World Cup history content over on Insta about the political and cultural history of footballl if of interest. Example the Nikification of football shirt design, with these rather bland template based styles. Very different to previous issues by Umbro and Adidas, more of which later…

And on that note, an exhibition I co curated in 2014 A History of the World Cup in 24 Objects www.dmu.ac.uk/documents/wo... free to download as a teaching resource

This is a great World Cup resource thanks to all involved.

Great piece on the 2026 World Cup ICE and Latino resistance during 1994 nacla.org/the-2026-wor...

What about travelling fans? And from where they travel?

Premiere of Manchester Corinthians: we were the champions at Home theatre this week. Working with these women since 2018 to bring story to wider recognition, please do support documentary makers Films Not Words as it receives wider release. Here at Fog Lane with Marlene and Anne #football #history

Was talking about the US as world cup host on a recent podcast. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

All the media interviews I’ve done in the last few weeks have raised just this issue. ICE agents form key part of security at men’s World Cup. We’ve had hostile hosts before of course, but new departure in ‘sport washing’ debates.

Sorry to hear of the passing of Tony Mangan, a sports history scholar from the physical education discipline who made a foundational contribution to sports history in his books. Famously described as ‘a combination of bishop and prize-fighter’ many a student used his work to inform their own.

New podcast Unstoppable with Lori Lewis out now talking about Marta and why she is the GOAT unstoppablepodcast.net

Another @jeanolafc limited edition design. With femorabilia we are critiquing the mono culture of football shirt wearing as a totem of fandom. So limited edition, female designed, female made and fun. Alessia Russo in neon pink with Lioness safety pins.

#WorldCup relative days worked to buy tickets. It’s unethical, to say the very least.

Inflated World Cup ticket prices indicate a disrespect for ‘ordinary’ fans. Corporations and FIFA sponsors can outbid individuals. Then empty seats, wherein hospitality is more distracting than the football. Those empty seats will inevitably affect the media spectacle, a major talking point in 2026.

The @jeanolafc Supersonic Bronze foil designs for Euros 2025 went down a storm as limited edition t shirts. We have ten totes in the same design £15 plus p&p this December. When they’re gone, they’re gone…

Very pleased for Lando. It’s been heartbreaking to see Hammy’s season fall apart. New rules next year, and more motor sport historical writing from me in 2026…Congratulations Lando!

Happiness provider. Peace prize. Gianni. For a feminist critique of the above, see…

For those of us writing about international women’s football club ownership, and financial loopholes a big deal here…..

So what would you choose? First half uppy and second half downy? #Woodhouse #Leicestershire
