Brazil play Morocco tomorrow. They have Vinícius Jr, Raphinha, and Gabriel — three of the best players in the world. They also just had their worst ever World Cup qualifying campaign. This is a piece about how the greatest football nation on earth quietly stopped being that. 🧵
Neymar was supposed to be the next link in the chain. Instead he arrives at this tournament at 34, injured, likely to miss the group stage, having not played for Brazil in nearly three years.
Raúl Jiménez scored. Omar Artan was on a plane home. One of these will be remembered longer.
My first World Cup piece isn't really about the football. Unfortunately, it's about the political shitstorm surronding it.

I went to see the excellent @rayolearycomedy at the @TheYTheatre at the @LeicsComedyFest on Valentine's Day. Alone obviously.
And I also wrote a review! Which you can read in the link below or in bio.
It's not very long. It's Sunday and I have book due in 6 weeks. Leave me alone
Fortitude Valley at JT Soar, Nottingham: power-pop in a tiny room, big feelings, a bit of glorious mess — and some genuinely perfect three-minute songs.

Some Christmas Eve reading, if you fancy it.
