Sad to not see a #JAM goal there, but great play there by #ITA to qualify for the next round. The #Azzure are in the World Cup again after a 20yr absence and I’m enjoying their play. Good stuff. #JAMITA #FIFAWWC
Watching #ITA beat #AUS in the first game of this group sealed it for me - I like the way they play and having failed to qualify for last 20yrs, not much was expected; I am glad to see they are the first to qualify to the next round. #FIFAWWC
This is #JAM first World Cup - the stadium and so many of us watching at home wanted to see them get at least one goal. Their defense is weak - was better in second half - and their finishing could be more lethal. But I am hoping more is invested in the #ReggaeGirlz #FIFAWWC

In honour of the news that footsoldier of the patriarchy & fascist enabler Sarah Sanders is stepping down as liar-in-chief, reposting my essay on importance of profanity, which starts with Michelle Wolf’s roast of her at White House Correspondents Dinner google.com/amp/s/www.nbcn…
Profanity is one of the Seven “Sins” in my new book, out Sept. 17 via @BeaconPressBks. You can pre-order now! #7NecessarySins
Profanity is an important tool in defying, disobeying and disrupting patriarchy and its rules. Patriarchy punishes women for profanity because it wants us to forever remain within the straitjacket of niceness and politeness, despite the violence it subjects us to. #WhyISayFuck

I really don’t enjoy matches that are just goal galore against an underdog. There is no joy or beauty or anything to be gained #USATHA #FIFAWWC
That was a horrible display - absolutely no reason for players of such stature in #USWNT to be acting like that over 9th, 10th, 11th goal. And I say that as a feminist who says YES YOU DESERVE ATTENTION YES BE BOLD AND HAVE EGO. Come on. That was awful. #USATHA #FIFAWWC
And thing is the #USWNT is fighting for equal pay & resources with their country’s men’s team. And for inequalities at play there, same & more exist with #THA vs #USA. If US women’s team are denied equal pay & resources, imagine the obstacles that Thai women’s team fave #FIFAWWC

Doctors believe paramilitaries carried out more than 70 rapes during an attack on a protest camp in #Khartoum a week ago.
More than 100 people were killed & as many as 700 injured in the attack last Monday on a sit-in and clashes afterwards. theguardian.com/world/2019/jun… #SudanUprising
“Harrowing details of rapes by the paramilitaries from the Rapid Support Forces have emerged in recent days despite restrictions on communications in #Sudan, but the extent of the sexual violence has remained unknown.” #SudanUprising
“One doctor with access to data compiled by the central committee of doctors, a pro-reform group, said hospitals in #Khartoum had recorded more than 70 cases of rape in the attack and its immediate aftermath.” #SudanUprising

Such a shame that @SHO_Billions, once great, is now just a typical and predictable garbage TV show in Season 3. There used to be real tension and drama and surprise on Billions. It's clear there was never a plan for what to do after Season 2. @HollywoodInToto 1/
@SHO_Billions @HollywoodInToto Season 1 of Billions was great (except for the character of Bobby’s wife, who should have been written out of the show by at least mid-way through Season 2). Despite that, Season 2 was very good, as it continued the great conflict between Bobby and Chuck. 2/
@SHO_Billions @HollywoodInToto Season 3 has Bobby and Chuck working together. While that concept had a bit of promise - *What happens when these two brilliant minds are in synch and not in conflict?!* - it just sucked all the all the drama and tension out of the show. 3/

So. A quick gut of the Juncker #brexit letter.

Shorter: not a game-change as expected, but SOME new stuff that might influence waverers. 1/Thread
First up - the Withdrawal Agreement isn't getting reopened. That's still the line, see second para in letter, which is here /2

Then repeats December European Council conclusions which (as May said to House) do themselves have legal force - all that good stuff about "expeditiously" concluding a trade deal etc.

(Leave aside for now UK doesn't know what deal it wants) /3

Fleta's interview with Inven TRANSLATED!
Q. What did you do to take a break after the OWWC?
A. I was given 4 days, so I ate lots of good food with my friends and we watched movies, too. I was slightly sad that we couldn't go out much because of the dust.

Q. Everyone wanted pork belly immediately after the World Cup, huh?
A. When we were practicing for the Cup, we were only in our practice rooms the whole time, where the food was always American or Japanese, and it didn't fit our tastes. So after the cup, we all went for KBBQ.
Q. This is your first time being a national representative. How did you feel when you were in the final roster?
A. To be honest, Seoul Dynasty had a packed team schedule so I thought it'd be difficult to play in the Cup. The test period was also short, and so I just thought (1/3)

I’m watching the sports ball competition called the world goblet because I am with friends who are watching it but I don’t know what’s happening there’s lots of exhausting running around do I get a cardio workout if I’m just watching it?

The #FIFAWorldCup is a politics of everything – nationalism, racism, inclusion, geopolitics, sexism, surveillance, economics, technology, mysticism etc. This THREAD has links to 35 short pieces that explore off-the-field sub-plots making the games more than just football.
1. In “It's just a game': Iran World Cup fans frustrated politics are mixing with soccer” @CBCLorenda shows how US-Iran politics has deprived Iranian fans of access to their country’s jersey. cbc.ca/news/canada/to…
2. In “The Group of Death. And Torture. And Incarceration”, @Okwonga points out that at this WC, there is an actual Group of Death, literally – Russia, Saudi Arabia and Egypt. nytimes.com/2018/06/23/opi…

Last few hours so...
England aren’t going to come anywhere near winning the World Cup. They’re just not good enough. Their easy draw is a bad thing for them as it won’t be til the knockouts that they have an important game. Jordan Henderson is rubbish.
Belgium are similar. Great performances so far. But against very weak opposition. Their defence isn’t strong enough to beat a good, well-organised team. Especially with Boyata.
