Willie and Footix and their World Cup experience 🦁🐓
(I know the WC ended almost 2 weeks ago 💀but I thought it was still worth posting).

We stand shoulder to shoulder with our European colleagues and fully support the collective view.
We oppose FIFA’s plans. The FIFA World Cup belongs to football and always will.

Let me say this very directly.
Football does not belong to investors. It belongs to the people who fill the stands and who stand on the touchline week in, week out, rain or shine.
The World Cup is not a product. It is the greatest competition in world sport, and it was never anyone's to sell. Dress the deal up however you like. Once you have sold a piece of it, you have sold out.
Football belongs to the fans. It always has, and it always will.
and shout out to the France vs England game. I know not a lot wasn’t really going for it as it was just a 3rd place spot, but the tone after the match couldn’t have been more wholesome. In the end, Mbappe got the Golden Boot too so both teams won something here! 😁
Argentina will be remembered for being the most unlikeable, disgusting team of this World Cup. The punch after the game couldn’t have been more symbolic of what has generally summarised Argentina’s entire World Cup journey. FOOTBALL AND JUSTICE WON TODAY! 🇪🇸❤️
Contrast the reaction of the Argentinians losing today to that of the Mexicans against England.
The Mexicans showed how to accept defeat with grace and dignity. They were superb hosts.
I now fully understand why so many of them dislike Argentina.
