This World Cup has been a phenomenal experience for me as a writer & a fan. So excited to be at the final tonight & I hope England give this amazing month an amazing finale.
Either way, it's going to be a hell of a debrief in tomorrow's newsletter➡️thesquareball.net/31-7/
We all know England are completely lush and brilliant, but what about their opponents? You've probably heard that something fishy been going on there.

If you are looking for really good analysis in women's football, I really would have a read of @MaryamClark98's articles. Brilliant stuff.

i met anthony head at a convention when i was 12 years old, only a week after my grandfather died. i'll always remember what he said to me—that the only thing stronger than the pain of losing someone is the memory of the joy and beauty they brought when they were around.
"That's very important for me, that it was not seen to be Haaland and Odegaard and 24 others – it was important to foster a sense of team."
It was a brilliant to chat to renowned photographer @David_Yarrow about his viral Norway World Cup pic for @BBCSport.

KAT said he felt his mom in the stands Wednesday night in San Antonio.
I couldn't stop thinking about OG Mario (@robertpmarro1 ) and E (@foreverknicks).
The people we lose don't leave. They just change seats.
I wrote about it. This one is dedicated to @My_Business_Man + @dougthewaterbug

Will Kane or Mbappe become the first to win a second Golden Boot? Could Haaland have it wrapped up in the group stage, Oleg Salenko style?
As the World Cup approaches, here's a look at the Golden Boot candidates and the common attributes of former winners on @BBCSport.

In Flushed Away, the evil toad’s plot to expel rats from the sewers beneath London hinges on which fictional football event?

“Jimmy Savile, he’s one of your own…”
Songs referencing Britain’s most notorious paedophile and rapist have been a soundtrack to Leeds United matches for years.
They are usually started by opposition fans, before home supporters reply in kind, but little has been done to stop them.
Now, the club, campaigners and many Leeds fans have had enough.

I’ve stood in stadiums where the noise makes your chest vibrate ⚡️
But yesterday, Anfield proved something even more powerful…
Carlsberg and Liverpool FC partnered with the British Deaf Association to teach fans how to perform ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ in British Sign Language.
For the first time, the anthem wasn’t just heard - it was seen 🥹
And the campaign hasn’t stopped there!!
Bar staff at Anfield are being trained in basic sign language. Fan bars and pubs across the world are following suit, including teams at 16 Greene King Sport pubs across Merseyside 👏
Too often, we talk about atmosphere as volume. But what about belonging?
Creating spaces where people feel seen, supported and included - that’s beautiful.
What a moment ✨

For Spurs fans and wives of Henry VIII alike - survival is a goal, not a certainty.
Igor Tudor isn't the only person from the world of football who has been linked by name to history.
Can you name them?
