The photo diaries nobody asked for are almost at an end, if not THE end depending on who wins the cup. Today, I feel Spanish. Today I feel tapas. Today I feel Juan de Zurbarán. Today I feel Rosalía. Of course, I am not Spanish but I am in a hole with tin foil hat half on. I don’t think we can blame our loss on a corrupt FIFA but can we feel a little suss about how this tournament has played out? YEAH OK. If people were saying ‘England is sh*t’, I’d be like YEH FAIR and exempt myself from the generalisation because we aren’t talking about individual people, we’re critiquing governments and men like Javier Gerardo Milei, Gianni Infantino, Donald Trump. The world is full of inequality, misogyny and it’s been performed in front of us, game after game, the human condition, bigotry, love, hate, stupidity. ALL OF IT THIS IS FOOTBALL.
Anyway, good boys England on getting us this far. Any time you feel the pain jude refrain. Don’t carry the world upon your shoulders.
It’s been a joy. Photos from me and friends, it’s nice to see the pubs full.
### did you have a good one?
