The Mailbox is buzzing to see James Maddison in England’s squad. Also: why we must highlight Qatar’s record; Arsenal; Garnacho, and what would it take to stop supporting your team?
And I am definitely too old to be using words like vibes but…Watch this space.It’s an interesting question, ‘what would it take to stop supporting your club’. As an Arsenal fan there’s been more than a few rage inducing, embarrassing defeats, you all know the ones, and they certainly made me question why I put myself through it all. But really there has only ever been one thing that made me think this far and no further. The ESL.
People think this is a Southgate problem and it’s not. Every international manager is like this. It’s how you’re meant to be. You can’t fully focus on form. There’s a lot more than that. People were always going to complain about the 26 man squad no matter what. Phillips being called up is fine. You can go into a tournament without many minutes or not being fully fit. It happens every single tournament. Worked out alright for Iniesta and Schweinsteiger.
I don’t have a time machine, if I did, I’d fix a whole lot more than Argentina . See, we are talking about the present, today. But since we are talking in the past, British people and others have the ability to notice the difference between right and wrong. We cant change our countries past, we were born well after that happened, but we all can change the worlds future, with a little more unity and compassion vs division and ignorance. Imagine we all had got together 5-10 years ago and put as much energy into getting the world cup moved, instead of arguing over why we are or arent watching it now. It’s a bit late now tho.
I understand people want to watch the World Cup. I have more reason than most people to wish they would not, but I don’t think it’s the worst thing in the world to do so. It’s not your fault that they gave the tournament to Qatar. But I would just ask that if you do engage with it, try to think about and learn about what is happening to LGBT people there, or migrant workers, and don’t belittle people for whom those issues are more than just a discussion point on an online forum.
