Update from the house of Plague (Day 117 Year 2)
Today is The Football Day, no point in avoiding it. :) So here, have the song that is still stuck in my head as THE football song:
Does anyone else remember The Adam and Joe Show? Good times. <3 (Joe Cornish went on to write things like Attack the Block and Antman. The latter has the best fight scene in the whole of the MCU, hands down.)
I don't really care about football so I'm unlikely to watch, but I figured you could have a bunch of stuff about the good aspects:
Instagram:
Post about how 'f*cking nice' the team are and how they are donating prize money to the NHS.
Making fun of belligerent England fans
I know nothing about football, but apparently Harry Kane is a good 'un?
I am deeply amused by how the team have been labelled Marxists for... being inclusive and decent?
This snippet from an interview is a little more nuanced, and spells out the change:
And have a proper article as well:
Novara Media: England’s Football Team is Changing Because England is Changing
It isn’t just on the pitch that the squad are making moves.
And here's Gareth Southgate:
And finally, this is just lovely:
Daily Dimash: War & Peace
Dimash wrote the music for this song as part of his Master's program in composition. As far as I know Dimash wanted this song specifically for the Chinese audience and so he asked Yáo Qiān to write the lyrics in Mandarin, based on his ideas. (English lyrics as closed captions.)
And a video of a different performance (with many subtitles in the video) (fancam + official video)

'This team has shown the human side to football.'

And finally, this is just lovely:
British Muslim students from an Islamic seminary watching the #ENG game when @HKane scored. This is the #eng we are part from which some people lead us to believe isn’t possible, it is and the racists can do one. @Sathnam @mrjamesob you’ll appreciate it. pic.twitter.com/cKr4SJ0E5Y
