After Japan battled the Netherlands to a 2-2 draw, the Japanese fans stayed behind and cleaned up every single piece of trash from their section at Dallas Stadium after the game.

10 years ago my wife, the mum of our kids & the MP for Batley&Spen was killed by a far right extremist. At anniversaries I try to be optimistic about the future. But not this time. In the ten years since she was killed we have gone backwards & I fear our democracy is now at risk

Declaraciones de Jurgen Klopp a ZDF, sobre la reanudación del juego retrasada por el árbitro, durante el cooling break del México-Sudáfrica para que terminaran los comerciales de algunas cadenas de TV: "Esto es el fútbol siendo tomado como rehén por ejecutivos en oficinas con aire acondicionado". "Estos supuestos 'descansos por el calor' nos los vendieron como un escudo para el bienestar de los jugadores, una noble espada contra el calor. ¿Pero en realidad? No es más que una jaula dorada construida para patrocinadores. Cuando vi a los jugadores parados durante un descanso por calor mientras los tiempos de televisión dictaban el ritmo del partido, no pude evitar preguntarme: ¿a quién está sirviendo realmente la Copa del Mundo? ¿A los aficionados?, ¿A los jugadores?, ¿O a los anunciantes?". "Un partido de la Copa del Mundo debería fluir como un río. En cambio, estamos construyendo presas en medio de él para que los comerciales puedan pasar. Eso es peligroso para el espíritu del juego. El fútbol alguna vez fue el evento principal, pero ahora corre el riesgo de convertirse en la música de fondo de un espectáculo publicitario. Nos dicen que estos descansos son por el bienestar de los jugadores, y por supuesto la salud de los jugadores importa. Pero cuando el juego empieza a doblar sus rodillas ante los tiempos de la televisión, la gente va a hacer preguntas. El balón se supone que es la estrella. No un descanso comercial". "La Copa del Mundo es la catedral del fútbol. Sin embargo, a veces da la sensación de que la hemos convertido en un centro comercial donde la caja registradora recibe más respeto que el propio partido. Si este es el futuro, entonces el fútbol ya no está siendo interrumpido por los anuncios. El fútbol se está convirtiendo en la interrupción entre los anuncios".

10 years ago Jo Cox was shot and stabbed to death in Birstall by a far right thug. Do you remember the Farage \ Tommy Robinson riots that followed it, No me neither. R.I.P. Jo

It’s always a risk eating anything in a tomato-based sauce whilst wearing a Breton- striped top. Chances of drips landing on white stripes? 100%

Thank you @JohnLewisRetail for giving me a little chuckle to start my day. How far above the ground would my everyday wardrobe be elevated in a rollator such as this? 30cms? 🤭#LaughterIsTheBestMedicine

Ooh! Who else has one of these? Sister in West Wales says hers is somewhat obscured by cloud but nephew in Torbay also has a decent halo. 😇

Drat! Tried somewhere new today that had been recommended as good for #GlutenFree options. Unfortunately, according to my gut right now, they are not #CoeliacAware enough. 🥴#CrossContamination 🤢

This. A succinct explanation of how many extra unpaid hours teachers work. #AJobLikeNoOther #TheNorm
Seems pretty clear, fair and unconfusing to me! ‘Explaining teacher directed hours’

Genuine question; is this a basic error or do we all have to spell #hydrangea this way nowadays? @BBC @TheRHSChelsea

Those that moan about children needing to go to the toilet during lesson time and wonder why they can’t wait, should go to a concert and see how many times adults get up to go to the loo or get a drink…..amazing…..

THIS! I’ve seen so many children enjoy reading diverse range of materials that would be pooh-poohed by phonics & strict schematic gurus as not being ‘proper books’. #Teacher #Mother #Granny
A child reading a book about football tactics is reading. A child reading a recipe book is reading. A child reading the back of a cereal box is reading. We have an extraordinary habit of deciding which reading counts as real reading. And an equally extraordinary habit of doing it in front of the child. Every book counts. Every page counts. Stop gatekeeping.
