I still remember the first time Scottish football properly grabbed me by the throat. It was a freezing January afternoon in Glasgow, 2018 or so. I’d gone up for work, ended up at an Old Firm game thanks to a mate with tickets. The rain was horizontal, the pies were greasy heaven, and the noise […]

I still remember the first time a Brazil national team match genuinely broke my brain. It was during the 2018 World Cup, me and a bunch of mates crammed into a mate’s flat in São Paulo (I was visiting for work). Neymar dancing through defenders, Coutinho smashing one from distance.
