As much a pre-World Cup staple as stories about the movement of the ball

[Stanis Elsborg @StanisElsborg]

I spoke with Qatar 2022 whistleblower Abdullah Ibhais for the opening episode of our new Play the Game Podcast.

About the latest developments in his case - and how Qatar profiled journalists and managing criticism.

After refusing to help cover up migrant worker abuses as Qatar's World Cup media manager, Abdullah Ibhais was imprisoned—and forced to watch the tournament from behind bars.

Listen to episode 4 of Power Plays to learn more about his story.

Qatar Airways is UEFA Champions League official partner. Also a PSG shirt sponsor & has close links to (Visit) Rwanda - so too, Arsenal. Both Air Rwanda & Kigali Airport have significant Qatari ownership stakes. Mustn't forget Emirates Airline either... https://t.co/7RKXKri8oN

Football 🤝 foreign policy

The world’s biggest club match—the Champions League final—will be contested by one club, Paris Saint-Germain, that’s owned by Qatar, and another, Arsenal, who play at the Emirates Stadium and wear Emirates and Visit Rwanda branding on their shirts.

How did we get here? More...

[Hywel Mills @HywelTM]

You can't have a conversation about Pep's legacy or the of the 115 Premier League charges #MCFC are facing without understanding why the Emiratis bought the club in the first place.

[The Signal @thesignal]

In 2008, something happened. A government bought a club, in another country—5,700 kilometers away.

Gulf royals have moved into global football. Now what?

In 1934, tens of thousands packed into a stadium in Rome to watch Italy win the World Cup.

It should have been a celebration of sport and diplomacy. Instead, it was a carefully staged display of fascist power.

But with adverts for Emirates everywhere and "visit Rwanda" on the shirt sleeve, ironically both prominent in the featured image on this article. Very few clubs at the top level can take the moral high ground these days.

[Stretford Paddock @StretfordPaddck]

Happy John Terry day to all who celebrate it....

[Miguel Delaney @MiguelDelaney]

The two sides to Pep Guardiola's legacy

His greatness should be celebrated as arguably the greatest coach ever and definitely the most influential

But he has worked as the key figure at a club being used as a "sportswashing project" by Abu Dhabi

It's not just fatherhood. Just like it's not "babysitting" when one parent is taking care of the kids. PARENTING has changed.

@DKThomp ... I saw this post from your retweet ... lets all have a conversation that represents the broader reality

[Chris Williamson @ChrisWillx]

Modern fatherhood would be unrecognisable to a 1950’s dad.

“Compared to their Boomer parents, childcare time among Millennial dads has more than doubled.

Compared to their Silent Generation grandparents, it’s nearly quadrupled.

You will be hard-pressed to find any part of day-to-day modern life that has changed more in the last half-century than the way today’s parents—and fathers, in particular—spend their time.

The new American dad is more present and more exhausted—but also, more satisfied with life.” — @DKThomp
