A perusal of the listings for the John F Kennedy Centre for the Performing Arts in Washington DC reveals that weekend visitors to the national culture centre of the US can sit through a playful bilingual production of the Philip Eastman children’s book ‘Go Dog! Go!’ or the presumably excruciating ad libbed stylings of the Improvised Shakespeare Company. Despite being the hottest ticket in town, Friday’s Geopolitics World Cup draw is notable by its absence from the venue’s schedule of events, presumably because the organisers have designated it strictly invitation only, lest any riff-raff darken the doorstep of what promises to be an excessively long, self-congratulatory procession at which assorted well-paid luminaries will parrot the tired platitude that “football unites the world”.
Further to the letter from John Collins [Football Daily letters passim] about a potential club named Kevin for the Highland League. He may wish to note there is an exciting Brazilian winger named Kevin (Santos Lopes de Macedo) at Fulham who cost north of £30m.

The extra ‘of’ plays as much a part as an extra official assessing VAR on corners: unnecessary, unacceptable and unwanted” – Ken Muir.

Given that he’ll be proudly waving his Fifa Man of Peace Award (and taking into account his present adventures in the Caribbean), they can hardly resort to their other song, In the Navy! Perhaps Trump’s ever-accommodating best buddy (and fellow Abominable Showman) will come to the rescue with a Fifa-inspired rewrite for the occasion called something like, maybe … In the Gravy?” – Justin Kavanagh
