There’s a lot about this World Cup to dislike but Cape Verde just restored my faith in the beautiful game!

@Hutchywutch VG! (Got it the first time but worth a second like.)

[Laura Goodes @LauraGoodes]

@dan_villafan Yeah. Fab country and people.

[Laura Goodes @LauraGoodes]

@markjonescp Beautiful words, Mark, and so true.

Supporting your team is about community, family and friends. I feel very emotional about Kenny Jackett’s death - not just sadness about a player who was in the DNA of our club but also memories of people like my Dad, with whom I saw Kenny play, and who is also no longer here.

@HLTCO I’m devastated. He was a vital part in Graham Taylor’s team that bought success that we could never have dreamt about. And a thoroughly decent man as well.

[Laura Goodes @LauraGoodes]

@WatfordFC Oh my God. What a shock. I can’t believe it. Much love to his family and friends.

@alimullaley @primevideosport @footballontnt The amount of irrelevant twaddle during commentary is insane.

@WatfordWeather Felt old as I went to Bailey’s (only just over age limit) but at least I didn’t go to Top Rank!

@Hutchywutch Another comms cornerstone is if you’ve got bad news that you want to hide but know it’ll come out eventually, you’re better off communicating it proactively somehow. Suspect reticence to talk comes from GP and the comms team is powerless to influence him.

@farzana_chaudry @RoyalFreeNHS So important for women to attend and it’s amazing how many don’t. Two years ago my routine mammogram discovered an issue that cannot be found through self-examination. I was able to get treatment before things got worse.

@MattHughesMedia Why didn’t he request it for the Villa and Palace finals too?

[Laura Goodes @LauraGoodes]

@England Whatever your views on the squad, this is a fab video.

[Laura Goodes @LauraGoodes]

@henrywinter Great timing by Man U to announce at the same time as Tuchel’s press conference. Sabotage to get back at the Maguire omission??!

[Laura Goodes @LauraGoodes]

@RATW_official Life-affirming TV. It was just brilliant - again!

[Laura Goodes @LauraGoodes]

@alimullaley Never known so many leaks before a squad announcement.

[Laura Goodes @LauraGoodes]

@dan_villafan Indeed!!

[Laura Goodes @LauraGoodes]

@dan_villafan You’re going to get slaughtered by Citeh on Sunday!!!!

[Laura Goodes @LauraGoodes]

@alimullaley @dan_villafan Congrats Dani! Great night and I’m also really delighted for you and @SarahMBreslin Footie, eh?!!!

@WatfordFC On the way home my 75 year old aunt said she’d never been hugged by so many men she didn’t know in her life!
