“I really don’t feel like doing this interview; I think it’s SH*T. This interview has no place here. We’re playing a game.” 😳💥

The ignorance of this.
Do a little research
Who is Lula's running mate?
It's a mild version of social democracy in a capitalist economy.
Public discourse matters. Please don't cheapen it with stuff like this

Delighted to have my latest article on Bayer Uerdingen's brief flirtation with the big time published by @footyheritage
New Article: KFC Uerdingen: Chemical Romance
Back in the day, Uerdingen were a force to be reckoned with. You'd be forgiven for thinking this was in another life.
Since then, the club have limped through their existence. Though the club suffered another recent near death experience, there is hope they can rise again.

Footy Headlines can exclusively reveal that Adidas and River Plate are set to release a remake of the 2018 Copa Libertadores championship jersey in early 2028. The special reissue will arrive in celebration of the 10th anniversary of the club's continental triumph.
The Adidas River Plate 2018 remake kit will recreate the home shirt worn during River Plate's historic 3-1 extra-time victory over arch-rivals Boca Juniors at the Santiago Bernabéu in Madrid on December 9, 2018. That unforgettable final crowned Los Millonarios as Copa Libertadores champions in the most anticipated Superclásico in football history. The original 2018 home jersey featured River's traditional white base and iconic red diagonal sash, complemented by black Adidas three stripes on the shoulders and a 1990s-inspired EQT collar accented with subtle red trim.
Scheduled to launch in early 2028, the 10th-anniversary release is expected to faithfully reproduce the aesthetics of the match-day jersey.

New Article: Alumni: First of Many
Alumni Athletic Club were founded by Glaswegian Alexander Watson Hutton and became one of Argentina’s first dominant clubs.
That said, one of their trophies was won in an unorthodox manner. It only adds to their story.
