    Homeless World Cup

    Anyone been down there? Went today and it was a great event, very well organised with some good football on show

    I guess that 'Football's Coming Home'? hasn't been adopted as the tournament's official anthem?

    We were talking about this last night in the pub, the questions that were unanswered were ‘Where are the away fans staying and what’s the equivalent on designated pubs?’

    That's a great gesture from Michael Sheen. Hopefully we all get chance to go support.

    It is a great initiative and Sheen’s support has been immense.

    Went down on Sunday. Enjoyed watching the games - Wales Ladies had a 3-3 thriller with Norway and won on penalties and the men blew Australia away 7-1. The playing standards vary a lot but all doing their best and enjoying themselves.

    I urge anyone to listen to his interview on 5 live from earlier today! He speaks so passionately and like he says, it actions as well as words, he’s put so much of his own money to ensure this event went ahead!

    The whole week so far has been great, even the horrible weather on Tuesday fading away to allow a big crowd to turn up and watch James Dean Bradfield to perform on the music stage. in the evening.

    Three more days of football to go, culminating in the finals day on Saturday and decent crowds expected each day to watch and take part in the various other family activities on site.

    The standard of football varies hugely , with some countries` teams looking highly professional. I can confirm from my direct involvement in Street Football Wales that the mens` and womens` teams from Wales are selected on strict criteria that they must have experienced homelessness in the last year. It is that criteria that impacts on selection, not purely football ability. Despite the quality of some of the opposition, both teams have done remarkably well with some notable wins.

    Went down earlier, was spicey.

    Great event, good cause and fair play to Michael Sheen.
