Not to riff but what a missed opportunity? Those themes - fear as a limiting factor and how England as a country, not just a football culture, needs to come to terms with losing - deserved better, you know? Better than that on-the-nose script, pantomime characters (“footballers are thick!”), cheap jokes (“Milton Keynes is shit so let’s use that to dodge exploring how multiracial England might relate to that flag; chuck in some morris dancers instead!”) and the most half-arsed engagement with progressive politics you could imagine (“Tories can’t take pens!”)

So yeah not to have watched through spurs goggles but I did not like how they did my boy

(And this is without getting on to how they bottled the confrontations with racism and homophobia. Something bad happened to Saka Rashford and Sancho but we’re not gonna say ‘racism’; you just fill in the blanks about why the Black players are upset. FIFA is stopping Harry from wearing an armband but we’re not gonna say ‘gay rights’. Like the fucking coyness my god)
