In advance of CWC 2025 & men’s WC 2026, we outlined all the ways FIFA’s commitment to the bare minimum is a farce.

That went well and was a lot of fun. Lots of great questions after, ended up discussing things for 45 minutes more after the original 50 minute presentation. Good students at the Universidad de Antioquia and thanks to Juan Diego Acevedo for the invitation. Back to marking tomorrow.

Something I loathe is the whiny, whinging ‘give me sympathy’ attitude of celeb current or former drug addicts. No mention of all the poor people murdered or displaced elsewhere in the narcotics chain for your precious, entitled need to stick some powder up your nose.
