Sir, – In this era of qualifications, credentials and the need for proven expertise in every area of life, it is refreshing to note that there is at least one area in which anyone can be an expert – soccer.
No need for qualifications and no need for a heavyweight CV. You can be a complete donkey in every other area of life, but yes, you can be an expert on soccer. And this is your time, now that the Euros are under way. You can pontificate about great goals, the highs and lows of each game, speculate about the chances of any given team doing well or badly, and analyse the skills of the various stars who dot the soccer firmament – and people will actually listen to what you have to say. Amazing! – Yours, etc,
SEÁN ANDREWS,
