After years of working on
#RainbowLaces
at Sky Sports, one footballer's story really stuck with me - an academy player who was a Muslim and wished he could be cured of being gay. He quit football and never turned pro. Thanks

Thoughts from the England win in Greece⌠1) Lots of players seizing an opportunity, namely Watkins, Madueke and Jones 2) This is an incredible era where nine players can drop out and there is still bags of talent 3) Thomas Tuchel will have his own observations so long-term learnings limited!
