Extremely grateful for last week being a part of the England staff for the FIFA Futsal Word Cup qualifiers, at Loughborough University which was my home for so many years. My lifelong dream came true to wear the 3 lions and to sing the national anthem alongside incredible people

Team identity built around adapted futsal concepts using diagonal and vertical lines to progress the ball, possibly too many corta-luz which the players have fallen in love with and grouping players in spaces they identify as important in each game. Always a joy to watch 🪄
