Hey @theowalcott@TaylorTwellman
Any chance to rekindle the Its Called Soccer! Podcast. I thought there was real chemistry and insight. Would really enjoy your perspective for WC '26. I'd tag Rebecca, but I can't find a legit handle.
We all hope and pray for our leader and captain Tom Lockyer, who is thankfully responsive and has been taken to hospital.
We don’t know the full extent of what happened and what the next steps are at this stage, but we thank Bournemouth and the medical staff on both sides for their immediate response, which was absolutely amazing.
We are sorry to all supporters present that players from both sides were in no state of mind to continue with the game after seeing their much-loved team-mate and friend taken off like that, and staff could not carry on with managing the game in such circumstances having had to deal with the situation.
We thank everyone for the wonderful applause and singing of Locks’ name inside the stadium at such a difficult time.
Now is the time for all of our players, staff and supporters to come together as we always do and give our love and support to Tom and his family.
Our thoughts are with him and them all. 🧡

This is incredible. 48 year old Egyptian Paralympian Ibrahim Hamadtou who lost his arms in a train accident aged 10 in Tokyo today. Could have played football but took up table tennis “as a challenge.” How inspiring is this? (via @Ch4Paralympics)
Thank You @chefjoseandres your relentless efforts to feed those suffering through natural disasters and the pandemic with @WCKitchen restores faith in humanity. Well deserved award.
God Bless. Stay healthy. The world needs you.
To the people of the world making food a bright light in dark times: thank you from the bottom of my heart. No single donation or gesture by itself can end hunger. But today we write a new chapter—no action too small, no idea too bold, no problem too big for us to solve together.
When someone on a conference call says, ‘I was on mute, can you repeat the question?’
My reply, that only makes sense if you were ‘on deaf’.
I now understand that is code for, ‘I was distracted w/something more important than you.’
Be respectful and BE PRESENT!
