🚨 HAS FIFA JUST CROSSED A LINE?
England fans could reportedly be ejected from World Cup matches if their flags contain political messages.
Supporters say it's censorship.
Critics say football isn't the place for politics.
WHAT'S THE BIGGER THREAT TO THE GAME?
Political activism in football, or restrictions on what fans are allowed to say?
My 5 year old boy does football training. At the end of the session they do a ‘man of the match’ type thing.
My boy is always desperate to win it. He often doesn’t.
I explained to him the other day that he didn’t win simply because he wasn’t good enough. That he deffo could win, but he just needs to be better, try harder, be more focused etc.
One of the other mums heard me & was aghast at what I said. She told me she is going to get ‘runner-up stickers’ for all the kids who don’t make it.
I said no thanks, not for my son.
Kids need to learn that they can be the best, but they must apply themselves & dust themselves off when it doesn’t go their way. No consolation prizes, no ‘everyone’s a winner’ etc. There are winners & losers. Wanna win - do your best. Can’t make it? Don’t worry, go & smash something else. Play to your strengths & never, ever play the victim.
If more parents & institutions had this attitude, the country would be in a better place - if I say so myself 😉

Adam Catterall was SO vocal on the Daniel Kinahan situation, until Probellum gave his podcast a contract and he never said Daniel’s name again
He was also savage on the failed Conor Benn drugs tests, until Dana White gave him a few quid to push Zuffa, interview Benn, and keep quiet
He’s turned his comments off, old tweets from him and his podcast have been deleted
Get in the bin 🗑️
Poor quality half from Arsenal again. Never seen supposed world class side not be able so put a pattern of play together in sheer fear of losing shape. Tedious AF. Go win the game.
@Johnfis08605918 London is a shithole though. Admirable you want to defend it, but it is the opinion of millions now worldwide and it never used to be.
AARON RAMSDALE: "My biggest idol when I was growing up and biggest mentor was Jussi Jaaskelainen at Bolton, who played 10-12 years in the Premier League. He didn't win anything. I would prefer that over sitting on the bench and winning the Premier League."
