This World Cup has been a phenomenal experience for me as a writer & a fan. So excited to be at the final tonight & I hope England give this amazing month an amazing finale. Either way, it's going to be a hell of a debrief in tomorrow's newsletter➡️thesquareball.net/31-7/

I’ve stood in stadiums where the noise makes your chest vibrate ⚡️ But yesterday, Anfield proved something even more powerful… Carlsberg and Liverpool FC partnered with the British Deaf Association to teach fans how to perform ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ in British Sign Language. For the first time, the anthem wasn’t just heard - it was seen 🥹 And the campaign hasn’t stopped there!! Bar staff at Anfield are being trained in basic sign language.

Creating spaces where people feel seen, supported and included - that’s beautiful. What a moment ✨ (🎥: premierleague)
