Open access! My article 'Contesting gender politics in the 2023 Women’s World Cup: Chinese fans’ online reactions to athlete activism and kissgate', should interest those who work on athlete activism and feminism in China.

The Cabo Verde is so fascinating. There are those who oppose the expansion to 48 teams for various reasons, but for people who follow the world cup as fans of the sport, these 'small' teams maybe the major reason why the world cup is such a special event!

How people follow the world cup differently? See my paper: tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1…

I think Neymar should be called up, provided that he accepts being a sub. Reason 1, there are too few dead ball specialists in the squad. Reason 2, when chasing a game and facing a low block defence, who else can improvise like him around zone 14?

Hi, my book has been available for a while. If you are interested in how European club football expanded across the world, or how football fandom has changed in recent decades, do read it! routledge.com/Globalization-…

Tounekti lacks defensive discipline (see the first goal), this may explain why he rarely starts. Nobody could predict the red card, which made maeda more ineffective. But Cvancara lookd more useful when chasing a goal mainly by crossings. #CelticFC

The biggest problem if Wilfried Nancy is, whenever the opponents improved by adjusting, he had no answers. Can't blame him for the poor finishing but he may have got this tough job too soon.

Still need time to digest the CFA's refusal to grant #GUANGZHOU FC a licence to play in league one in 2025. This likely means the end of a vibrant fan culture which i documented in tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1…

How #EPL fans in HK understand commercialisation? I argue that they are fine with the commercialisation of football because they benefit from the trend.

Whatever happens next year (disbanding is a possibility), interesting to see how Fandom related to the team will change after the team's demise and the absence of fans in stadia for 3 years
Guangzhou FC, the most successful side in China relegated from the Super League, they've spent so much money on transfers.

GZFC or @GuangzhouEver represented both local pride and national glory, but @GuangzhouRFFC or Guangzhou City are defined as more 'local' by some fans (including me). City are no longer controlled by R&F and managed to win the relegation battle ...

Brazilian Felipe Sa scored a hat trick in #HKPL on Sunday. He celebrated by holding up two fingers in both hands because he supports #Bolsonaro.

Inspired by the 147 made by @Marcofu18, I tried to explore the history of snooker in Hong Kong.

I was in the venue, one of the most beautiful moments in hk sporting history. Thanks @Marcofu18
