It is time for men to learn from women how to play football.

In 2015, I went to the quarter final and the semi final of the women's World Cup in Montreal and saw the US beat France in the former and beat Germany in the latter.

If queer is the opposite of heteronormativity, it was the queerest--and joyously so--sporting environment.

The stands were full of outsiders: women with babies, teenage girls-- a demographic I rarely see in televised men’s games--with their faces painted in the colors of their teams and men there alone. #ItsComingHome #Euros2021 #CopaAmerica2021 📷 @rerutled

1/3 Morning everyone, it wasn’t meant to be. I will leave the post-mortem to the experts. This supporting England isn’t for everyone. It’s not about Finals or even tournaments. That’s easy to support, to moan at the early exit or ride the wave of the 2018 WC or this Euro’s. 1/3

2/3 It’s about friendlies, giving rookies a chance, qualifiers on a Tue night in places most have to google. It’s about being there with ur mates experiencing the Highs + Lows. It’s about meeting likeminded strangers whom become great friends. Its emotional, it unites people 2/3

3/3 following England makes you proud. It makes me extremely proud. Flights Booked ✅, Hotel Booked ✅ and Thursday 2nd September the dream starts again in Budapest. It’s not a fashion choice but a life choice. Do I dare to dream #ItsComingHome 3/3

Update on the world famous English value of common sense and personal responsibility - I’m sure corona will respond accordingly. FFS.

Our country is so so seriously ill. #ENGITA #england #EURO2020

#ItsComingHome. Piccola digressione calcistica. Non ci sono dubbi che il calcio sia nato nelle isole Britanniche nel XIX secolo, soprattutto nel Nord dell'Inghilterra ed in particolare tra membri della working class. 1/
britannica.com/sports/footbal…

L'influenza inglese d'altronde si è sentita anche nello sviluppo del calcio in Italia. Come scritto nel libro "Calcio" di @Footymac il primo club italiano fu il Genoa Cricket (!!) and Football Club, creato nel 1893 da personale consolare inglese e non aperto agli italiani. 2/

E fino al 1909 la FIGC era in realtà la Federazione Italiana Football. Nessuno discute dunque l'importanza dell'Inghilterra nella creazione e sviluppo del calcio. Basta per definirla "home"/casa? It's the place where you come from, but is it the place where you belong? 3/

⚽️You've probably heard "#ItsComingHome!" being thrown around recently by English football fans in the lead up to Monday's @EURO2020 Grand Final between England and Italy.

Our experts discuss the #grandfinal, #sportsscience and #soccer's role in culture and society. A thread.

“The grand final will reinforce the idea that Aus is being left behind. The game will provide us with a glimpse of what the #postpandemic world sport will look like: vaccinated populations going back to life as usual." Dr Steve Georgakis. @Bizani

“Soccer is a very popular sport in Australia, with over 1 million adults and just under 700,000 kids under 14 in Australia playing it. Women and girls comprise 30% of soccer players in Australia." Dr Lindsey Reece. @LindseyReece28 #WomensSport

Thread of @DameCarolBlack's landmark Review of Drugs Pt 2. Firstly, thanks to its author who has engaged and listened with patience and rigour. There is a huge amount in there, below is not definitive🧵1

Great to see the call for a central unit to coordinate, drive policy and hold accountability. Cabinet Office would be ideal but other arrangements can work - political and official buy-in, sponsorship, governance and accountability mechanism are more important than location. 2

The need for resource is very clear in report. Real impact requires real investment and the figures put forward are substantial. Local gov has been hammered by austerity. Resource must be protected, & crime focus of recent £80m broadened to reflect all of the system's needs. 3

The latest #REACT survey (interim Rd 13) has been published and shows a big jump in infection levels, particularly amongst men.⚽️

Overall levels 🔼from 0.15% to 0.59%, and within Rd 13 doubling time is put at 6 days, (R=1.87).

Rates are 3x higher in the unvaccinated.

1/

Starting with the overall data - this interim report is very up to date, running to the 5th July (Wow! Speedy work @imperialcollege), and you can see the quadrupling of levels since Round 12.

The previous chart shows how they judge that the increase is accelerating.

2/

Between rounds 12 and 13, R is put at 1.32 (doubling time 15 days), but within round 13 it is estimated at 1.87, with a doubling time of just 6 days. These latter estimates do have wider CI's though.

Three Hijabis walk into a bar to watch the Three Lions thrash Ukraine. What an incredible evening and an absolutely brilliant win by a magnificent England team! Well done, lads! A thread on the importance of an anti-racist, inclusive #England ⚽️ team & why #RepresentationMatters

When I was growing up many, many people and communities of colour would avoid going out when an England match was on due to knowing we weren’t safe and would absolutely be at risk of verbal and physical racism dished out by so called England fans. Sadly this risk still exists.

Even now communities of colour feel this way. Speak to any working class taxi drivers of colour and they will tell you about the racism and abuse many experience after a match inc physical violence.Same goes for many supporters of colour attending England matches, home & abroad.

Without players with at least one parent or grandparent born overseas, #England would be down to just 3 players. And if you trace the families of almost all the #ThreeLions squad back further, you'll find stories of migration #FootballMovesPeople #ENGGER ow.ly/BDIf50F9995

Find out how migration has shaped more than just #England's starting line-up: ow.ly/BDIf50F9995
