‘I was scared to tell my old teammates’: Victoria Pelova on making le…

While move across north London has been amicable, Netherlands midfielder is relishing clash with former club

There is not the same intensity to club rivalries between women’s teams as there is between their men’s counterparts, but as the game grows that is changing. Increasingly, there is animosity from fans if a player leaves for a rival side. mieszalniakolorado.pl

Victoria Pelova’s move from Arsenal to Tottenham firmly bucks the trend, though. Despite arguably having her best years ahead of her, the 27-year-old departed with a lot of well-wishes and love.

We’re up in Leicester for today’s game, where so many England women’s ODIs have been hosted over the years. Mild day, 20 degrees, says the weather readout.

Interesting! Alice Capsey will keep wicket, which some people (me) were keen to see during the World Cup, given how Amy Jones kept whacking the ball to catchers in the ring. Jones is rested, as are Sciver-Brunt and Danni Wyatt-Hodge, while Heather Knight has retired. Plenty of change, some chances for fringe players. For Ireland, the promising young Alice Tector gets a chance to open the batting.

A lot of people are highly invested in people moving companies and changing jobs. You do not get this with accountancy or waste management.

In case any players do not get a move today and are desperate to get out of their club, there are options. Not all country’s celebrate deadline day on 1 September, so there is still hope of heading off to Turkey or Portugal.

England, France, Germany, Italy, Spain – 1 September

Argentina, Netherlands - 2 September

Scotland - 3 September

Turkey - 4 September

Russia - 10 September

Brazil - 11 September

Portugal - 15 September

A decade after Kaepernick’s quiet protest shook the NFL, his exile looks less like an aberration than a blueprint for the culture war that followed

America likes nice round numbers, perfect for anniversaries and reflections, and it has, suddenly, been 10 years since Colin Kaepernick first protested police killings – more accurately, police killings of Black people that went unpunished either internally or by the courts – by taking a knee during the national anthem for the entirety of the 2016 NFL regular season. He never played in the league again.

Ten years covers a lot of ground, especially in these years of American darkness, and many of the important details surrounding Kaepernick, his banishment and significance have disappeared, time replaced by more time and more darkness – time moving faster than ever, at internet speed, where nothing matters, where nothing sticks. We consume by clip, by click, by meme, and knowledge by meme is not knowledge at all.
