We are banning social media access for under 16s.
These days kids must find their feet in a world where technology intrudes into every area of their life.
I just can’t let that go on anymore. So we’re giving children their childhoods back.
The only reason why the US doesn’t win every World Cup is because our best athletes choose football, baseball, basketball, and hockey over soccer
It’s like we are sending our 5th string up against everyone else’s best
Finally beat this game and finished first. I think 5 at the back is the way. Disappointed with myself that I re-rolled on Peter Beardsley up front only to be stuck with Aubameyang

1994 - age 7
A boy called Tom in year 6 could kick a ball so hard that I didn't want to go to the top of the playground where he played
I remember walking through a game on the rec trying to ask boys if they wanted to play something else now

TWICE on separate occasions during this World Cup I was holding a cold leftover sausage when England scored (not a euphemism) which says a lot about my post-kids lifestyle
The greatest final of all time won by the 🐐
2026 - aged 39
Now have a 5 year old boy to collect stickers with, he's watched enough AFC Wimbledon to be ready for his first 🏴 disappointment
Would love to have the moral strength to boycott (Trump, ad breaks, Coldplay HT show) but I can't look away. I LOVE THE WORLD CUP!
