1970s South London School

UK: My Early Life in the 1970s School System! (15.7.2026)

Some Black people are like this in the UK – but not all. When stood queuing outside the London Aquarium once, a West Indian woman started racially abusing Gee and ramming a push-chair into the back of Gee’s legs – accusing her of being responsible for the queue. Being racist, she had no idea that Gee was with me. When she realised this – she looked worried and left. So, White-looking people can still be of some use to non-White people. You would be surprised at the extent of internecine in-fighting between non-White groups in the UK. Anyway, I am a proletariat “Internationalist” – Marxist-Leninist-Maoist. I was all this when I was born – but it took me years and years to work it all out. Marx was right and we will end-up living in a Communist paradise at some point in the future. This might be violent, peaceful, or quite natural. If you had told someone 500-years ago that the Catholic Church would be gone, the monarch beheaded, and society Secular today – they would have thought you made. And yet here we are.

China: International School Sport Federation “Football World Cup” Will Kick-Off in Suzhou this October! (13.7.2026)

According to organizers, registration remains open. So far, 48 teams from 30 countries and regions have completed registration, and the deadline is expected to be extended until September.

The event also unveiled its four official visual identity elements — the emblem, slogan, mascot and theme song — with designs that combine the dynamism of international football with Suzhou’s distinctive traditional Chinese aesthetics.

An official with the organizing committee said Suzhou is home to 396 national campus football characteristic schools, with more than 300,000 young people participating in school football programmes.

During the tournament, overseas teams will visit local schools for friendly matches and classroom exchanges. They will also tour Suzhou’s classical gardens and museums to promote cultural exchange among young people from different countries.

England Goalie - Pickford - Fends-Off Norway's Effort!

Cuba: FIFA World Cup 2026 – England & Argentina in Semi-Final Clash! (12.7.2026)

The decisive-strike came in extra time, when a rebound was conceded by goalkeeper Orjan Nyland, after Morgan Rogers powerful shot was taken advantage of by Bellingham to score the defining goal and secure his sixth goal of the tournament.

Shortly after, French referee Clément Turpin awarded a penalty in England’s favour, but the decision was reversed after VAR intervention.

In the final minutes, Norway tried to react, although they failed to clearly trouble the English defense, which secured the victory and the pass to the prelude to the final.

England will face Argentina in the semifinals, also after a 3-1 win of Switzerland in extra time, in a match played this Saturday in Kansas City.

Switzerland surprised with a very offensive approach in the first minutes against Argentina, but it was the Albiceleste who started on top, thanks to a header from Alexis MacAllister (10).

Thank You Belgium!

US: FIFA Corruption & Trump Delusion Mean Nothing – Belgium 4-1 US! (7.7.2026)

As for the rest of us – we all play one another until a select few is ready to compete for the greatest trophy in the universe! England invented football and England is the spiritual home of football – be it professional or amateur. Hundreds of thousands of British people play every week on bumpy and irregular pitches using different size footballs and various interpretation of the rules. Nobody is paid for this playing – the people play for the love of the game. This is called Non-League Football – even though there are hundreds of wondrous divisions. What it means is that this is non-professional leagues – as the playing is not for money. At this level there are a number of trophies culminating in the FA Vase. My Dad played for Leicester City Reserves and was scouted for Nottingham Forest in the late 1950’s early 1960s – he was that good. I was good in defence and as a goalie as I played 11 aside and 5 aside at school and college, etc.

UK: Thanking Mexico & England for One of the Greatest Games of Football! (6.7.2026)

We should never lose to the likes of the USA – or Norway – for that matter. I still cannot comprehend how France became a footballing nation – yes – I am that old. I think my recently deceased father is sat somewhere laughing with glee at this wonderful England performance. I keep odd hours and was up by 2am to see the delayed kick-off. It was a match of the ages – a match to end all matches! Until now, one of the best technical matches I have ever seen is the 1970 game between England (the defending world champions) and Brazil (the next world champions) – which England lost 0-1! This mornings match might well rival that match simply because England won! We might as well have won the World Cup – so brilliant was the performance. The Referee was against us – and we were fighting a hostile crowd – all things that professional players are expected to deal with and overcome!

US: Explaining the Ridiculous FIFA “Hydration-Breaks”! (6.7.2026)

As football is traditionally a winter sport in the UK – hot weather is usually not an issue. However, where British teams have had to play in the heat abroad – water bottles are often placed near the side-line. Players drink quickly during natural breaks in the game – not during specific breaks. Therefore, “Hydration-Breaks” are a cynical attempt by the US to penetrate their hideous form of capitalism into the interior of the footballing game. What matters for them is commerce – not skill. The audience exists not to understand the game – but merely to “consume” in an ignorant manner. In fact, the more ignorant the better – as such a state allows the individual to be parted from their money in a much easier manner. Coaches, understanding the artificial nature of these breaks – are using them as unusual “half-times” where players can re-group and alter their shape or change their approach. All this has nothing to do with genuine football and is a contrivance. Indeed, it is altering the internal structure of the game. Once the World Cup has left the US – these breaks should be dead and buried.
