Here with my parents for #England v Los Ticos. Their last warm-up match on World Cup eve. Decent turn out considering 90 minutes ago we had tropical storm level weather. And a rousing round of Vindaloo before both anthems.
How is Italian TV handling a World Cup that Italy did not qualify for? Just saw an ad from Rai promoting a new documentary on Dino Zoff (legend of ‘82 winning squad among other triumphs) to run starting the eve of the World Cup. So that’s one thing.
So both Mexico’s & Canada’s opening ceremonies began with significant indigenous representation - with the U.S./LA opening we are firmly in the postmodern.
Wishing us all the quietest of hurricane seasons. 🙏
Jedi, save some for the tourney #USMNT What a volley.
Mexico City looks wonderful. Fair, joyful play to all. #CopaMundial
