Three lions and red lines
Watched England's inspiring victory against Mexico at the Azteca. What a special match and occasion, one of the most memorable and iconic England games of my life.
Pickford, Bellingham and Kane were particularly inspriational. When the going gets tough, lots of England players over the years have dissappeared. They are scared. They don't want the ball. Those three were brave and stepped up and took responsibility.
Immensely dissapointed by the decision to suspend Balogun's three-match ban. A terrible precedent that undermines sporting integrity, fairness and transparency. FIFA are not true to their values, and they gaslight fans and behave as though they are beyond reproach. A redline indeed, and I suspect the beginning of a long and lasting open confrontation betwen UEFA and FIFA.
Whilst this is the most shocking evidence of corruption and collusion between FIFA and global-powers impacting the game, it is only a matter of someone missing a game. We should be just as outraged over FIFA failure to uphold worker and minority rights and safety.
