In 2018 I went to see England vs India at Old Trafford and after the match they played England vs Colombia on the big screens in the ground. There were so many fans in India cricket shirts cheering the England penalty win.
Writing about cricket and identity next week. England and India go to Old Trafford for the fourth test. That was where Ranji made his England debut on this day in 1896. He scored 154 not out in the Ashes, after the popular + press outcry against the MCC leaving him out at Lords on racial grounds

York City have unveiled next season’s shirt, featuring a rune version of the club name, in collaboration with the Jorvik Viking Centre. Unfortunately you don’t want to mess with York’s fanbase when it comes to runes.

A sim game where you keep a pre-agricultural multi generational peasant family alive through unexpected wars and famines by deciding where to allocate food and labour, balancing the risks of malnourishment for the next generation and not having enough energy to collect the harvest.

Vance's Easter visit to Rome clogged its streets with a 40-vehicle entourage. He also demanded the Coliseum be closed so he and his family could tour it alone. Tourists who properly booked slots in advance got screwed.
He's apparently the first to make that demand. Then he didn't bother to show up.
