There's actually more on the full Pickford interview...he brings up John unprompted 🥺

Thank you for bringing the full video to my attention - I’ll post the unprompted Stonesy mention after this, but have to say this is the first time that I’m aware of an interviewer bringing one of them up to the other and explicitly calling out the fact that they are almost symbiotic for England and have achieved everything they have together which is not (in my opinion) an accident and I am honestly gagged can we get this lady on tumblr for a q&a pls

the zambian sports series: zambian netball

netball in zambia is governed by the netball association of zambia (NAZ), under the africa netball confederation. the national team's first international medal came at the 2011 all-africa games in mozambique, where zambia placed third. the following year, 2012, brought a cluster of continental results: silver at the CANA tournament in zanzibar, bronze at the COSANA africa cup in tanzania, and bronze at the diamond challenge in south africa.

zambia made its debut on the INF world rankings in october 2012, entering at 22nd in the world. by july 2019, the team had climbed to 15th in the world and 5th in africa.

in september 2016, zambia's senior national netball team won the singapore mission foods nations cup — an INF-recognised ranking tournament featuring papua new guinea, canada, botswana, ireland, zambia, and hosts singapore. zambia's first trophy won outside africa. the team returned home via kenneth kaunda international airport to a jubilant welcome.

the netball world cup record: 17th at the 1999 christchurch world championships, did-not-qualify in 2003 and 2007, did-not-qualify again in 2011, then 14th at the 2015 sydney world cup — zambia's best finish to that point.

2023: zambia won the african netball championship title for the first time ever. the final went to double extra time — finishing 57-55. coach lazarous tembo, only 27 years old and in charge since march that year, became the youngest coach in african netball history to win a continental title. captain beauty nakazwe won the best shooter award. elizabeth bwalya won best mid court.

the team flew home via the zambia air force and were received at the ministry of youth, sport and arts by permanent secretary kangwa chileshe, alongside representatives from atlas mara and vedanta. "as a country this is the first time we are winning the african title… you have made history today."

this had not always been easy ground. at the 2019 africa netball cup in cape town, south africa beat zambia 72-53 in the final. four years later, in 2023, that gap closed enough for zambia to win the continental title outright.

a zambian team that has now done what no zambian team had done before in this competition. continental champions. for the first time. history made.

the zambian sports series continues. 🇿🇲🏆

when you're at the humiliation ritual competition and then niall kennedy shows up and invites the guy he frequented chemsex parties with, the girl he went to college with who he kept asking for money to pay off his fuck ups in adulthood, the ex who he got pregnant and cheated on a bunch of times, to his wedding with the guy his brother beat half to death and put in coma in college, and then said brother shows up at said wedding so they can kill each other

“i’m just not sure what a 35 year old is doing in a club lol”

I don’t know - celebrating the first victory of the summer with his teammates? Just because in your opinion (which you’re absolutely entitled to) a 35yo in a club is strange doesn’t mean it’s wrong he did it.

yeah no i don’t really have a strong opinion on it lol - i think the media is blowing it way out of proportion - it’s pretty clear the actual person who’s properly in the wrong is the rugby guy that threw the punch.

i really hope they don’t have match bans or anything like that - which feels a bit dramamtic, especially if there’s security there that should’ve stopped it.

i just have a very uni student approach to nights out ig 😜

although ruben revels in and effortlessly embodies traditional ideals of manhood, i find it interesting that in moments where he defects from this identity and voluntarily shows vulnerability, it's niall that reinforces the idea that doing so is a transgression. i keep thinking abt that scene after ruben wrecks the van and theyre forced to carry the equipment through the forest. When niall says to ruben "you're not gonna cry, are you?" he's not only clearly surprised that ruben might be crying, but the tone of his voice is almost mocking. whether intentionally or not he makes ruben feel ashamed for being shaken by serious prison time to the point of potential tears. he rejects ruben showing emotion in that way. and ruben, despite reacting to niall's shocked discomfort with a razor sharp rebuttal, can't help but ramble, unravel, yell fuck all this shit!, drop to the forest floor and admit to the person he's closest to, his BROTHER, that he's scared. proper scared. his mother is probably dying and he might go to prison.

and how does niall respond? awkward shifting. Averting his eyes. And: "I think we should probably keep walking."

ok niall. let's just ignore all that and keep on walking.
