one of my favourite things we've made.

osvaldo ardiles picking diego up from the airport, Adam Powley watching from the stands, martin tyler on being there in the bowels of the stadium.

people might think seb is doing 'a bit' on a famous mitchell and webb sketch here, but actually, he's just being seb.

went to the emirates the other night and it made me think lots about maria petri, one of the greatest people i've ever interviewed.

have a lil read if you need reminding:

We've made another MUNDIAL!

Some exceptional features inside:

Owen talking to fans who saw Ruud Gullit at the start of his career, I interviewed the amazing Joanie Evans and Chris Paouros on the revolutionary hackneywfc, there's Jacqui McAssey (GIRLFANS/FEMORABILIA) on AI, going undercover

🗣️ Hackney WFC were the first openly gay football club in Europe, and their legacy is the progression you see every single day.

Loved talking to James with my trailblazing mates and his piece is exceptional

deeply love how rayan aït-nouri approaches every passage of play like it’s a 1v1 or a game of panna

IN TODAY'S MUNDIAL HAT-TRICK NEWSLETTER, I'VE WRITTEN ABOUT SCORING TWO GOALS AT MOLINEUX BUT NOBODY RECORDING IT, SO ACTUALLY, I THINK I'D PREFER IT DIDN'T HAPPEN.

TWO BETTER PIECES IN THERE ALSO.

can’t stop thinking about the mega ball

Some of the worst operators getting riled up about that new England kit because they want to re-legislate who this England team is for. Then by proxy, they can sneak in a conversation about who the country is for and who they think should be allowed to partake in it. Grim.
