Alex Morgan ruffled some fragile English hearts with her tea-sipping celebration, Newcastle United are spiralling, and one Arsenal fan finds an ingenious way to help the club buy new players.
The week started off with a good old non-controversy controversy in the English media following England’s 2-1 defeat to the “arrogant” Americans in the Fifa Women’s World Cup. Alex Morgan had the temerity to celebrate(!) her goal by pretending to sip on a cup of tea. Or mimicking a teenager taking his first drag of a joint, whichever it was, they’re hard to tell apart.
What is it about England and major tournaments that they have to stir up some kind of shit in-between matchdays? There is no narrative left unturned by the press, no matter how irrelevant it is to the game itself. Can’t wait for the men’s Euros in 2020!
A goal celebration three centuries in the making.

Sipping on tea for goal celebrations is just too far.

You can’t help but feel sorry for the Lionesses.

I can help it, actually.
Beloved Chelsea legend Frank Lampard returned to the London club as manager this week.

There is a silver lining for Arsenal fans, though.

Could be worse though. They could be Newcastle fans.

History repeats itself.
