At the weekend I had the pleasure of travelling to Anzoategui to donate England National Team kit to over 60 young players, thanks to The British Embassy, Venezuela.
Thank you to @UKinVenezuela and @JesusYendis19 for having me be part of that beautiful day. 🇬🇧🤝🇻🇪

Did you know Chelsea played two games in Caracas in 1998? Or that there is a 1986 philosophy essay entitled 'On Bullshit'? One is true and the other is not, but they're connected. And I spent some time writing about it. Have a read, if you like. :)

If you want an idea of how important tonight’s World Baseball Series final is to Venezuelans, I can’t get a taxi in Caracas. And I started trying to order one 2 hours before the game even starts.
Otherwise occupied. 🇻🇪⚾️🇺🇸

Fourth time of trying - including two cancelled by the drivers and one by me because he obviously wasn’t coming - we’re on the way!

A player we scouted and signed off the back of that trip and following partnership has this week debuted in the U20 Copa Libertadores: Isaac Davila (2007).
A lot has changed in my scouting journey since then, but these little stories remain the ultimate fuel for the passion.

Today marks #InternationalWomensDay, so I decided to take a deep dive into the growth of women’s football in South America.
A really interesting piece to work on.
For @WorldFootballi.

How Venezuelans have lived outside of politics, that not everything is crisis, that people have a life beyond news

The common life of Venezuelans, their day-to-day life, how they survive in this country besides politics. We need chronicles about common people and their lives.

What is the point of Mouse Trap? Hated it as a kid and feel no different as a parent.

The ignorance reflected in this reporter’s comments is truly astonishing. While it is clear that Trump’s administration is deeply unpopular, projecting that disdain onto Venezuela’s well-documented history and its current realities reveals a significant bias. This coverage by VICE departs from factual reporting and objectivity, substituting opinion for evidence.

El tema no es si esto está bien o mal, eso es irrelevante y subjetivo. Pero el fútbol venezolano carece de narrativa picante y estas cosas suman mucho al show que necesita la liga. Es normal que el fanático del Caracas se sienta traicionado por Tucaní, y que eso se haga sentir en el estadio, es un buen síntoma. Esto es fútbol.
