This is Viscardigasse, a narrow pedestrian street in the historic centre of Munich. It is nicknamed Drückebergergasse which translates as “Shirkers Alley.” When Hitler was in power it was compulsory for pedestrians to do a Nazi salute at a now destroyed shrine to the Munich Beer Hall Putsch on Odeonsplatz round the corner. Citizens who opposed the regime would use this alley Viscardigasse to bypass the Nazi shrine and avoid giving the salute. Such an act of passive civil disobedience earned the nickname Drückebergergasse - “Shirker's Alley.” However undercover Gestapo would monitor who walked down the quiet alley, and if you did it more than once you would be arrested. The bronze trail I’m walking alongside here is an official memorial to those who never came back

Train pulling in at NRG station near to Philly’s excellent Lincoln Field after Curacao vs Ivory Coast. Nice for a stadium to be actually in the city it is advertised to be in. Also makes such a change to be told transport is free back to downtown after the blatant price gouging and greed in Foxboro and the tedious five hour odyssey to Santa Clara and back for the Bay Arena…well done Philly, respect 👊🏼🙏🏼 see also Toronto and Seattle ❤️

Never mind Sleepless in Seattle this is Breakfast in Seattle here at the legendary Beth’s Cafe. I’ve gone for their famous 12 egg omelette called Triple Bypass with hardwood smoked-bacon, diced ham, sausage & unlimited hash browns. Washed down a pint of Dr Pepper & Earl Grey tea

Boos from fans for the hydration break here at Arsenal. Good. PS: Don’t at me saying the players need a drink. What’s wrong with the physio throwing a bottle to a player like they’ve done for the last 100 years when it’s hot. Just say no to Infantino and Trump’s money grab

City’s banner at the Etihad referencing the Smiths said it was ‘panic on the streets of London’. Nah, you’re alright. As the banner at the Arsenal last night read: “Party on the streets of London.” As the Smiths sang in their 1983 song Hand In Glove: “This one’s different - because it’s us…”
