I used to religously watch each game of the World Cup but outrageous ticket prices and virtue-signalling have tarnished the tournament.

I was brought up in a home where soccer was God. In 1958, my father, the journalist and author, Brian Glanville co-authored a history of the World Cup with Jerry Weinstein. He would become the doyen of soccer writers and covered every World Cup until he was no longer physically capable of doing so. In 1973, my father published a new history of the World Cup, which was updated and republished before each tournament until 2018. In 1966, he wrote the script for the BAFTA award-winning film “Goal,” a celebration of England’s unique triumph in that competition.
