When the best story of the 2025/26 season came down to the final day, @ElMengem had to be there.
Ahead of Hearts’ return to Parkhead this weekend, this is the story of how an emotional final week of the season unfolded.

I wrote some words for @ClashMagazine about my experience working with Sway Dasafo over the years.

For those who still see these tweets and are on C still, I wrote about Jude Bellingham for the Guardian:

I presented @Copa90's latest video in their World Cup series where I went to Norway on the biggest night in their football history.
Rowing at 3am outside a castle, interviewing the Mayor of Oslo & rushing from one venue to another, this video has it all.

And it’s up! Paraguay’s become the talk of the tournament *after* creating the biggest upset of the WC so far, but we called it beforehand, arriving in Asuncion for the game to show just how special a football nation it is.

Not just saying this because it’s @Copa90’s 1st episode of our new World’s Cup series, but this film is just f*cking wonderful.
The sentiment, the emotions and the genuine education Hussein has squeezed into a brilliant 10 minute is an absolute must watch.
I Went To Baghdad For Iraq's First World Cup Game In 40 Years.
This is easily the proudest moment of my life.
Showing the beauty and passion of a nation that's been through so much + witness history.
Shoutout @Copa90 & the Iraqi people.
Enjoy. 🇮🇶❤️

We’re not covering the World Cup this summer. We’re covering The World’s Cup.
We were on the beaches in Brazil in 2014. The streets of Moscow in 2018. But in 2022, we did something different. We went thousands of miles from the stadium, deep into Argentina, to show what the tournament actually does to the people who live for it. We found something so special that we’re doing it again. Even bigger.
So while the matches themselves unfold in the US, Canada and Mexico, we’ll be showing how they are experienced everywhere else - in Baghdad, Tashkent, Asunción, Praia and far beyond. The World Cup doesn’t only belong to the host nations. It belongs to everyone who lives for it.
Stay tuned, something very special is on the way.

Iraq, here I come. 🇮🇶
I'll be returning to Baghdad for the first time in 13 years, with COPA90, to document Iraq's first World Cup match in 40 years.
The video will also touch on the themes of Iraqi identity, religion, grief, joy, & how football once saved Iraq.
Stay tuned.
