The World Cup is a huge celebration, but it can also be war by other means, writes @johnauthers bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

@TheBrightonBard I'm 59, turn 60 next month, and missed being alive for England winning the World Cup by a matter of weeks. Yes, know how you feel.

I’m 54. How many opportunities are left? Devastated.

Where data and football converge, according to @johnauthers, after oil prices head back up and England bounces out of another World Cup bloomberg.com/opinion/newsle…

@TheBrightonBard You're coming for the final??? More being prepared than tempting fate. Well done!

TEMPTING FATE? ⚽️ Normally I wouldn’t do this, but I’ve done it for the last 2 games so I feel I have to, to keep the luck going. ($11.20 in tax + miles 👍🏻)

When the oil price falls, the US and Iran have room to see what they can get away with, writes @johnauthers bloomberg.com/opinion/newsle…

🚨🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 NEW: Labour MP Noah Law has asked FIFA President Gianni Infantino to delay Jarell Quansah’s red card suspension until after the World Cup

@TheBrightonBard Very, very much so. Wonderful place to live. PS Jamie and I also went to see Jude and Harry score against a team from Central America in the World Cup, but I don't think England-Panama was quite as good a game....

@johnauthers Cheers, John. It’s a special place, isn’t it? Friendliest people on the planet.
