BRO, WHY’D YOU LIKE YUKICHIE SO MUCH??

Ok first of all, bro,,, B R O, bro ilysm being able to infodump like this means so much to me for real. And second of all, this is gonna be very bullet point-e since I can't string a coherent sentence together to save my life. LET'S BEGIN:

Tropes and dichotomies

Yukichie has a bunch of romantic tropes, including but not limited to:

-Beautiful and popular genius falls for airhead jock outcast.

-Childhood best friends to lovers.

-Two girls fall in love but one girl's close minded parents (yukikos) disapprove and kick her out so she suddenly moves in with chie (this definitely happened i'm sure of it).

Now the dichotomies:

Fire and ice: I feel like I don't even have to explain why this is romantic so I'm just gonna jump straight into the evidence: Yukiko is the teammate with Agi and Chie is the one with Bufu, one of Yukiko’s themes is called “Snowflakes” and there's also the twin dragons special move.

Sun and moon: Might be a stretch but I really do think that Yukiko is the moon, silent, beautiful and graceful while Chie is the sun, energetic, bright and hot to the touch.

Shadows

Shadow Chie reveals that Chie developed an inferiority complex from constantly comparing herself to Yukiko (not surprising but aw :(), and part of this is her not feeling worthy of Yukiko and her company, bUT MEANWHILE YUKIKO HAS THE OPPOSITE PROBLEM WHERE SHE RELIES TOO MUCH ON CHIE,,, like shadow Yukiko literally says says to Chie “Chies my prince, she's a strong prince, or at least she was”, she hoped and relied on Chie to save her from having to take over the inn and having to stay in Inaba,,,,. ALSO WHEN SHADOW YUKIKO'S HEALTH IS LOW SHE SUMMONS A PRINCE SHADOW WTF, WTF WTF WTF, SHE STRAIGHT UP SUMMONS HER PRINCE, CHIE, WHEN SHE’S MOST VULNERABLE????? HELP???

And speaking of shadows, Chie is pretty calm when it comes to rescuing people from the TV world except for Yukiko, she goes absolutely APESHIT, says "You don't know SHIT about how I feel! Yukiko might DIE from this, for crying out loud! I'm going, and that's that!" before running HEADFIRST INTO A MONSTER INFESTED PALACE WITHOUT A PERSONA OF HER OWN,, TRUE LOVE RIGHT THERE BABY. She also almost single handedly beats up a whole ass police station for even suggesting that Yukiko was involved in the murders.

Color theory

I'm a huge rwby fan so colors is definitely gonna have its own section IFSFNS. Anyways, in color theory, colors that are on opposite sides of the color wheel are considered complementary colors, and guess what the most used example for this? Green and red! Green and red always pop out when they're next to each other, and color is very important in p4 (for various reasons but a big example is how all the students at school wear dull colors except for the investigation team, they're just full on power rangers), so id like to think that making Yukiko’s and Chie’s colors the prime example of complementary colors was something intentional made to remind you of how well they work together.

Also: Chie “wow yukiko red looks really good on you” yukiko, twirling her hair “haha thanks do you mind if i wear it for the rest of my life-”. Also side note I’m 100% sure that Rio’s favourite color is red because it reminds her of Hamuko <3.

Comphet and obliviousness

It's very obvious that like, everyone’s in the investigation team suffers from comphet, especially considering their reaction to Kanji coming out (which is, something), but I'm only gonna talk about yukichies; first of all this whole scene screams of comphet, no one just gushes about their friend THAT much:

Also, Chie disapproves of all of Yukiko's suitors cause she's subconsciously jealous, Chie is 100% a baby lesbian cause shes literally like: “haha im not a lesbian, I just cut my hair short and mostly hang out with guys because then I’ll be more masculine and men like girls so-aw shit”.

Also, Inaba is a breeding ground for comphet because it's a rural town in the middle of nowhere in a town where most of the popuñation is old so,,,yeah,,,.Yukiko feels like her only option in life is to take over the Amagi inn and follow in her family's footsteps, which would in turn be like rotting away in Inaba, so I like to think that the Amagi inn is some sort of metaphor for how being yourself is key even though it can disappoint your parents by making you stray from the path they paved for you, but that’s still an important step to take to become a better person and being true to yourself. Now that isn't very different from coming out now is it?

Official art and others

-Yukiko’s and Chie’s designs inspired Tomoe Tachibana and Maria Torres from Trauma Team and they’re hella gay

-Yukiko and Chie are next to each other or side eyeing each other when the other isn't looking in 99% of the official art they're in, I wonder why that is-. Also if  you look through Chie’s gallery 90% of her photos include Yukiko and vice versa.

-Everyone in Inaba knows that Chie and Yukiko are practically dating cause some bullies literally threaten Chie with hurting Yukiko saying stuff like “that precious Yukiko-san of yours” and “So don't you care about what happens to your loved ones” LIKE HELLO???

-Chies social link? oh you mean the yukichie social link right? No but seriously like Chies social link revolves around Yukiko NANFFGGW

-Yukiko’s theme in p4u is “princess Amagi” and shadow Yukiko calls Chie her prince, coincidence? ABSOLUTELY NOT. 

Fun headcanons and random stuff

-Chie definitely short circuited for a full ten seconds when she saw Yukiko in a yukata for the first time

-I'm sure that when the investigation team meets up like 20 years after p4 they'll be like “wait Yukiko you've been living with Chie for years?? did you get married?” Yukiko and Chie who haven't even started dating officially “no?? what are you talking about- WAIT.”

-Yukiko and Chie: *adopt three cats and a dog and call them their children*, also yukichie “we’re just really good friends :)))”

-Yukiko and Chie definitely made out with each other a couple of times using the excuse of “were practising for when we have boyfriends”

In conclusion, yukiko and chie have the type of love where they've known each other for so long and care for each other so deeply and passionately that they don't need to search for a significant other because deep down they've always known they were each others. They've always pictured the other in their life from beginning to end but have yet to put together that they want to be in each others life romantically because of comphet and just, never really seeing each other as an option because they've just always been friends, nothing more nothing less. Thank you for coming to my ted talk I hope I gave you yukichie brainrot <3

please reblog/leave comments, they’re very much appreciated!

Your name: submit What is this?

Brandt has to use every ounce of self control he has, control every nerve in his body, not to smile with relief when Ethan assigns you to help Luther hack into communications and the building computers while him, Brandt and Benji infiltrate the office the team is currently watching from afar. Despite being just as competent as the rest of the agents, Brandt hates seeing you out in the field, finding himself constantly distracted by the worry of something happening to you. He can see the tiniest flicker of disappointment cross your face — he knows how much you like to be in the action, after all — but you simply nod at Ethan before looking over your shoulder to smile at Luther, who grins back at you.

“This should be an easy, in and out type of mission.” Ethan continues his debriefing, leaning against the table in front of him, covered in various photographs, folders and a blueprint of the building. The rest of the team intently listens, watching Ethan trace a finger along the blueprints as he explains, “Brandt and I will head directly up to Gallagher’s office to distract him, where Brandt will insert this key into his computer so Luther can gain access.”

Ethan slides a small device across the table as Brandt leans over to grab it, briefly inspecting it before inserting it into the pocket of his suit. Luther shoots him a look as he warns, “Don’t lose it.”

“Have a little faith, Luther,” you tease, and you exchange a smile with Brandt who can feel his heart skip a beat.

“We will keep him distracted long enough for Luther and y/n to gain access to his files, and they will also be monitoring phone calls and the security cameras within the building. Meanwhile, Benji is to go to their mainframe room for the rest of the files. Ilsa will be watching any activity going in and out of the building from the rooftop across the street.” Ethan gestures at Ilsa, who is dismantling her sniper rifle into a small case, and she snaps the bag closed before she zips up her leather jacket. Ethan’s eyes sweep the room, looking at everyone else as he asks, “Understood?”

Everyone nods before quickly getting to work, Luther quickly spinning around in his chair to his own desk, where he starts up his various computers while Benji pulls on his jacket. Ethan fixes his comms into his ear before adjusting the cuffs of his sleeve, and you walk up to Brandt as he secures his tie into place. Your hands brush his as you reach up to help him with his tie, and Brandt feels himself holding his breath as you adjust it slightly, before smoothing your hands down his chest, straightening his jacket. Taking a step back, you joke, “There. Now you look like a proper businessman.”

Brandt chuckles. “Thanks, y/n. Stay safe, okay?”

You look around the empty office the team is currently hiding in. Snorting, you respond, “Yeah, because I’m in a lot of danger here with Luther.”

Brandt shoots you a look as you laugh. Ethan approaches Brandt from behind, raising an eyebrow at him as Ilsa makes a head start, leaving the room to find a good stake-out spot. Benji slides his laptop into a briefcase, zipping it closed before announcing, “Ready!”

Ethan tilts his head towards the door, and Brandt gives you a small parting smile before the three of them head out. It only takes Ethan a few minutes after leaving before you hear his voice in your ear as he asks, “Brandt and I are in Gallagher’s schedule, correct?”

You sit down beside Luther, pulling your chair closer to the desk as you type a few things into the computer. Putting on a nasally, artificial voice which is supposed to mimic a receptionist, you respond, “Yes, Mr. Murray, you and Mr. Waller’s meeting with Mr. Gallagher is scheduled at ten o’clock, sharp.”

If you were with them, you would be able to see Brandt smile, shaking his head as Ethan responds. “Good. Thanks, y/n.”

“I’ve got eyes on you.” Ilsa’s voice pipes up, peering through the scope of her rifle as she sees Ethan and Brandt cross the street, entering the building. After a minute or two, she watches Benji follow behind, and she adds, “Good luck, boys.”

Ethan and Brandt head straight for the elevators as Benji splits off from behind them, taking a separate elevator to head to the mainframe room. He scans the ID card he had previously made against the door, allowing him access to the staff elevator, and as the doors slide close, he remarks, “Well, this is going relatively smoothly.”

“Don’t get ahead of yourself, Benji.” Ethan murmurs under his breath as he and Brandt watch the numbers on their elevator climb, inching towards the top floor where the elite offices are located. “Stay focused.”

You flip through the security camera footage on your own computer, watching Ethan and Brandt stroll down the hallway, where they are met by your target’s secretary. After a brief conversation, she stands, smiling at them before leading them to Gallagher’s office. Beside you, Luther’s fingers are poised over the keyboard, patiently waiting for Brandt to make his move. Brandt slides a hand into his pocket as he reaches out to shake Gallagher’s hand with the other, he and Ethan glancing at each other before Ethan gestures to the magnificent view from the office, remarking, “You’ve got a pretty good set-up here, Mr. Gallagher.”

The target laughs, briefly turning around to gaze out the window, and the split second is all Brandt needs to reach under the table, plugging Luther’s device into the monitor before sitting down as Mr. Gallagher turns back around to face him and Ethan. Luther clicks away almost immediately, and it’s not long before you see a small bar appear on his screen, slowly incrementing towards being full as the percentage beside it ticks away. Cracking his knuckles, Luther tells Ethan, “The download started. Keep him busy for a couple minutes.”

Ethan plasters on a smile, turning on the charm he uses when the situation calls for it. He manages to navigate his way through a fake business proposal as Brandt nods along, nervously waiting for Luther to count down the percentage left to load before he and Ethan can leave. As if reading his mind, Brandt relaxes upon hearing your voice inform, “Twenty percent left, we’re almost ther-”

“Shit.” Ilsa interrupts, watching two black vans pull up outside the building. You and Luther exchange alarmed glances as Ilsa sees two squads of armed agents pull out, and she warns, “We’ve been caught. You’re out of time.”

Panic settles in as Ethan and Brandt look at each other, silently debating over their next move as you open up the security footage for just outside their office. Your breath hitches as you already see four armed men exit the elevator before the secretary points them down the hallway, and you’ve already grabbed your gun as you hear Gallagher’s voice from Brandt’s comms, a sinister tone laced in his words as he taunts, “Did you really think I wouldn’t know who you are, Ethan Hunt?”

“Get out of there, there’s four men outside!” you exclaim, sprinting out of the room as Luther yells separate instructions for Benji to safely navigate his way out of the building. You load your gun as you exit your building just in time to see the agents from inside the vans enter the building, ensuing screams from the workers as multiple men and women run out. They don’t give you a second look as you duck through the entrance, hiding behind a pillar while you watch the squads fan out, covering almost every elevator and staircase. You mutter a curse, struggling to come up with your next move when you suddenly hear the faintest, unmistakable thud of a body, and you look in the corner to see Ilsa dragging the unconscious agent she had just knocked out into the staircase. She dumps his body down, looking back and forth before holding the door open, catching your eye as she gestures for you to follow.

Meanwhile, in Gallagher’s office, Brandt lunges under the table just before Gallagher flips it over, snatching the Luther’s device before stuffing it into his pocket. He kicks out Gallagher’s feet from under him as Ethan pulls out his gun, turning around just in time as the agents kick the door down. Ethan fires at the first agent before ducking to the side, roughly pushing a chair into the next agent before picking it up and smashing it across his face. Brandt scrambles to grab his own gun, but cries out in pain as Gallagher stabs him in the leg with a letter opener fallen off the side of his desk, the bullet Brandt fires missing the target entirely as he shoots the floor instead. Despite the pain ripping through him, Brandt raises his arm to fire again, and he struggles against Gallagher as he grabs Brandt’s hands, attempting to wrestle the gun away from him as Brandt knows his strength is depleting. More shots are fired, including at the windows, and the glass loudly shatters as strong winds blow into the room. Brandt is well aware of how close him and Gallagher teeter at the edge of the now open windows, yet he can’t quite move away with the space on the other side of the desk occupied by Ethan and the two agents he is fighting against. Ethan grabs one of the fallen agent’s guns as he runs out of ammo, firing two shots into another agent’s chest before tipping over a bookshelf beside him, ducking behind it for cover as two more men file into the small office.

There are three distinct gunshots before the gunfire briefly stops, and Ethan sits up from behind the bookshelf to see you and Ilsa standing in the doorway, weapons drawn. You step over the fallen bodies, gun raised as you fire at Gallagher, who has managed to get Brandt into a chokehold. Brandt pushes himself away from Gallagher as he falls to the floor, and you rush to Brandt’s side as you notice the blood staining the floor around his leg.

“We’ve got to go.” Ilsa urges, looking down the hallway to make sure more agents haven’t appeared. “Benji has already made it out, and him and Luther are waiting around the back in the car.”

“Can you walk?” you ask Brandt, your hands hovering over his wound as you are unsure what to do. Brant nods at you, and you loop his arm over your shoulders, helping him to his feet as Ethan catches a newly loaded gun Ilsa tosses at him. The four of you set out, ducking into the nearest stairwell as Ilsa takes the lead and Ethan rounds everyone up from behind. She peers down the staircase, before signalling the all clear, and the four of you begin your descent. You can hear a door open above you, and Ethan whips around to fire at the two agents who enter the staircase. The door in front of you suddenly opens, revealing four agents, and Ilsa doesn’t waste any time opening fire. You grab your own gun as Brandt leans against the railing, and Ilsa takes a few steps backwards, an indicator for you to fall back, and you grab Brandt’s arm as you exclaim, “Come on!”

You push Brandt back up the stairs, and he stumbles forward as you turn to fire a few shots. One of the agents below suddenly shoots, and your gun clatters to the floor as you feel the bullet rip through your stomach. Brandt turns around, eyes widening as he shouts, “y/n!”

You collapse, attempting to press your hands down onto your wound, but all you can think about is how warm and how sticky your own blood is. Ethan jumps down from the flight above, swinging his legs over the railing as he kicks down an agent before helping Ilsa finish the rest off. Brandt kneels beside you, positioning you upright in his lap, his breaths becoming short as he panics, “y/n, I- shit, just… just… ah, stay with me-”

“What’s going on? Where are you guys?” Benji’s voice floods Brandt’s ear, but Brandt can barely hear him over the distorted haze that overcomes him. “Ethan? y/n? Brandt?”

“y/n- y/n’s been shot.” Brandt finally croaks out just as Ethan shoots the last agent in the stairwell. Him and Ilsa rush up to you as Brandt continues, “I- I-”

Ethan kneels beside you, pressing his hands down roughly on your wound to apply pressure. You scream in pain, attempting to keep your voice down through gritted teeth, and Brandt’s heart almost stops. He can’t bear to see you in this much pain, and his face contorts as he struggles to keep his emotions in check. You hold out your hand, which Brandt quickly grabs, and as Ethan applies more pressure, your hand grips tightly against Brandt’s.

“It’s, ah, just a scrape,” you attempt to joke as Brandt’s expression becomes increasingly nervous, yet Brandt doesn’t show any hint of a smile as he watches blood bubbling from your wound. Your head lolls to the side as you cough, “It’s fine.”

“Oh, it’s far from fine.” Brandt snaps, catching your head in his hand as he turns you to face him. He tries to ignore the blood, your blood, staining his hands that is now on your face as he continues, “You are not allowed to die, you hear me? Don’t you even dare-”

Yelling from a few floors down interrupts Brandt, and he looks up in alarm at Ethan. Ilsa peers down the staircase before turning to the three of you, loading her gun as she says, “Three floors down.”

Had it been anyone else, anyone else, Brandt knows he would be able to think straight. Knew he would be able to come up with a plan to somehow face off against whatever agents came your way and still get everyone, injured and all, out of the building. But because it’s you, because it has to be the one person on the goddamn team he just had to fall for, his brain is a frazzled mess — all he can think about is how he can’t lose you, especially since you had got shot trying to get him to safety.

“Can you hold them off?” Ethan looks up at Ilsa, who’s eyes flicker to your wound before looking back at him and nodding. “Or distract them, at least, lead them somewhere else. Brandt, you go with her.”

“No.” Brandt shakes his head firmly. “No, I’m not leaving-”

“y/n is losing a lot of blood, and she’s only going to lose more the longer we stay here and don’t get her someplace safe.” Ethan cuts Brandt off harshly, and Brandt falters. “You can’t carry her, not with your leg, but you’re mobile enough to give Ilsa back up. I’ll get y/n to Benji and Luther, and we’ll all meet at the car, got it?”

The yelling gets louder now, and Brandt knows he has no choice. Ethan takes your gun and hands it to him, and Brandt looks down at you — but you have already passed out.

—

“y/n?”

Brandt’s voice is muffled, barely cutting through the fog that fills your head as your eyelids flutter open. You blink a few times, adjusting to the light as you see Bradnt’s silhouette hovering above you, and you shake your head before everything slowly comes back into focus. Brandt lets out an audible sound of relief, and it is then you realize his hand is firmly clasping yours. Instinctively, you squeeze it, and the faintest smile appears on Brandt’s face as his eyes flicker down to your intertwined fingers.

“Feeling better?” he asks, and you nod, sitting upright slightly as you peer under the thin blanket to see bandages wrapped around your abdomen. “Ilsa stitched you up.”

You weakly gesture to Brandt’s own patched up wound. “Are you okay?”

His eyes briefly flicker down to his calf before looking back up at you. He shrugs before deadpanning, “It’s, in your words, just a scrape.”

He smiles as you let out a soft chuckle. “I may have misjudged the situation.”

“Huge understatement.” Brandt replies, and you laugh some more, and Brandt feels on top of the world being able to get you to smile. His thumb brushes over yours, and he allows himself to feel more vulnerable than he ever has been as he confesses, “I don’t ever want to lose you, y/n.”

You pull your hand away from his to reach up, caressing his face, and he closes his eyes as he savors your touch. “You won’t.”

“I love you.” he suddenly blurts, eyelids snapping open upon realizing what he had just confessed. You mirror a similar shock, before you smile at him, and Brandt flusteredly continues, “That- that was unprofessional, I’m sorry-”

“I love you too, Brandt.” you reassure him, placing your hand back over his, and you can see him smile at you, his whole body instantly relaxing.

“Really?” he asks, and you nod, and Brandt feels as though nothing in the entire world could make him happier. He lifts up your hand to his lips, pressing a kiss to your knuckles, and you can feel him smiling against your skin. “No more scrapes, promise?”

You laugh. “Promise.”

William Kentridge’s show at MOMA on the seventh floor was amazing.  I walked in not knowing what to expect.  I have seen William Kentridges art in the past but never in a walk-in installation form.  I knew that the installation was supposed to invoke a sense of melancholia, however, I brought my own headset.  

This changed the environment for me. The sounds that were going on outside of my head I could identify as explosive, loud booms and trombones.  I added the soundtrack of Kero Kero Ichiban, which are sweet melodies from Japan.  

The kinetic sculpture in the center of the room was well built and fluid, representing perhaps the inner workings of a clock.  There were projections on the walls, videos of William Kentridge in his physical form, and dancers in a second line like form.  The march reminded me of Kara walker’s silhouettes. And the Botan death march of the Phillipines.  

The modern dancers involved in the performance, were somehow syncopating with the rhythm I brought in my headphones.  The performance also used playlike stylistic elements, in which people were hiding under the table and emerging like clowns from a clown car.  There was no color in the film, only greyscale.  

There were hangman’s steeples doing dances, which I am only identifying as such now, however they looked more abstract in person.  They represented stick figure-like bodies doing the robot.  There were horns on stilts which I expected to be speakers emanating sounds however, they were found objects, possibly alluding to satellite forms.  

The continuing projections were animations from William Kentridge, white on black background, alluding to radio signals projecting into outer space.  I remember words revolving on a horizontal axis reminding me of the Universal film logo, or the beginning of an old news broadcast.  I read the words Sharon, which can also be pronounced as Chiron, which is the forgotten planet.  

Chiron lies outside of Pluto, or so I think, it might be a moon or meteor that revolves around the Sun.

The dancers were doing flips and acrobatic movements, high kicks with flowing drapery, bald women like beautiful sculptures.  The videos reminded me of Negritude films from Paris in the 1920’s.  Josephine Baker meets New York contemporary dance or Jacob’s pillow.  William was marching on a side scroll. He was using chairs to act as obstacles or stairs or elevators.  He was assisting a woman with the chair, helping her find a seat.  This might be a symbol of trying to make amends with the apartheid system in South Africa.  

Another portion of the film was a South African couple doing the dance of love.  The man attempting to kiss as the woman looked away in pride or disinterest.  The woman forgiving and jumping up straddling the man in a warm embrace.

Every so often I would check back in with where I was sitting in the room, see who entered, where they would sit, and observe the perpetual motion of the accordion-like wood and metal sculpture moving silently.

Sigmund Freud influenced much of the Surrealist manifesto including the works of Salvador Dali.  Salvador then went onto create a style which he named, paranoiac, amplifying many of the negative undertones of the subconscious psyche.  I believe Sigmund and he, wrote to each other very often.  

William Kentridge views the installation as the prophecy of time.  The machine in the center of the room represents the human lung.  The rhythm it represents is the rhythm of syncopation of the human body in the realm of time.  He also views the animations of the signals flowing out of the earth into space as the representation that we all are constantly broadcasting ourselves.  We are wound at birth and in the end we unwind.

The sets onscreen are made of cardboard, and in real time, the cones represent sound.  The concept of time is one that can be broken, like a ming vase, reset and reformed, we can go backwards, forwards wherever we want and sometimes it is misshapen.  Time and the broadcasts we send keep going until they reach the black hole at the end of the universe.

Sigmund Freud, disavows the theories of prior psychologists in their efforts to say that anything psychical (what people think or believe) is completely conscious or on purpose.  He believes that the practice of hypnotism and dream psychology disproves that node of belief.  Consciousness is a “transitory” state of being, meaning that it is free flowing. What lies beneath, can become evident at any time.  There are also subconscious thoughts that stay buried.  The subconscious thoughts that do not become evident, are because they are held in check by another force.  This is described as the state of being repressed or resisted to being made evident.  There are three states of consciousness.  Unconscious, preconscious, and conscious. Unconscious is what we suppress.  Preconscious is the free flowing thoughts. Conscious is the transitory state between all three.  

The ego, contributes to those three. It is the ruler of the sexual motives, the motivating factors for living, the raison d'etre.  The repressed, can also be what one desires.  The abject, can also be what one needs to persevere, and can also change onto something proper.  We can also describe the balance or imbalance of all of these three as mental illness or mental stability.

The ego is sometimes concerned with representing exactly what we have repressed.  There may be many unconscious desires in the ego, unconscious desires sometimes lose their importance, sometimes they represent things that we cannot achieve in person, in other words it is fantasy.  Sometimes our focus is upon a nmemic residue, the traces of a memory can be similar to a hallucination.  The shift from nmemic cathexis to a perception element can separate the conscious from the unconscious.

Freud places importance on the memory of the auditory experience.  Sometimes an auditory cue indicates a hallucinatory experience.  Our consciousness is ambiguous.  We can only surface our unconsciousness by making these ideas known in the real world. The question is how these ideas can be represented in physical form.  In an artist's vision, we can represent these ideas on a page or in a painting without actually acting on these feelings. Once again we are in a realm of fantasy.  

William Kentridge is trying to reform time, by acting as a white male helping a young South African girl. The way this is represented is metaphorically.  The sense of morality coming from the white man stems from the sense of morals that is under the umbrella of the Superego.     This projection is an ideal, it is a broadcast that expands into the universe that will hopefully influence a generation.  This idea of eliminating racialization is bringing the idea of apartheid to the forefront in William Kentridges piece.  In Freudian terms, he is bringing the unconscious historical racial discrimination of black skinned people in South African society into the conscious realm.  It is important to talk about Kentridge's piece in this way because people, mostly everyone, and especially those of “other” or “exotified” races, in other words “non-white,” are descriminated against, but we are not sure why.  This can be because of bias, or even biological strife embedded in our genes.  Currently there has been a social uprising in South Africa, when the rest of the globe had thought that aphartheid had disappeared.  It seems that the more we evolve, the more everything remains the same.  Art is there to influence the way people think and how we interact with one another on a daily basis.  These ideas can manifest themselves in immediate action, however art is there to influence the way people think in the long run.  

Freuds idea of fetishism is the idea of substitution.  In other words, any object of desire sits in place of his or her own genitalia.  William Kentridge, while both idealising black fashion and culture is also showing his appreciation and his own fetish for black skin.  Not that there is anything particularly wrong with this attraction between a white man and a black woman, however what Freud presupposes is that this is just the tip of the iceberg.  

Aphartheid is a metaphor for the separation of us all.  What is the subconscious is the desire to be separated from his own people.  On the exterior is the avoidance of negative contact.  On different levels these desires become inflated or conflated.  In avoidding these things sometimes they become supressed.  Supression leads to anxiety around a subject.  It also inflates miniscule narratives.  It skews meaning and reappears in dreams or in other people skulls.  These thoughts become viral or memetic.  These preconcieved myths lead to a preconsciousness. Kentridge attempts to make a tomfoolery of the image of the structure used to hang people.  The images appear as breakdancing robo-structures.  If we can simplify these things they lose their meaning.  Structurally they are breakdancing stickmen, historically and culturally, Kentridge allows us to forget this part.

If Freud were here, he would say the dancing stick men are supressions created by the super ego to hold the id in place.  He may accuse Kentridge of wanting to hang his female, black, counterpart, however, the superego represses this latent desire and requires us to say “no way.”  If the id is controlled by what we have seen in the past, historical visions, biological, and cultural predispositions, as well as how we appear to ourselves and to others, then the super ego is necessary.  This may also mean that we cannot always get what we want.  It may also mean that Kentridge's dream of broadcasting ourselves is true.

Humans experience positive and negative emotions, sadness, melancholia, disappointment, struggle, strife, failure, and all of this is hard to surmount.  If we are broadcasting this side of ourselves, the fear is that it will come back to us in the form of an ouroboros, or cyclical nature of time, in which we cannnot escape.  This is also called the cylce of samsara in Hindu cultures.  The South African preacher can stay positive his entire life, however this may not mean that he can escape apartheid. The systematic realities cause us to implode.  At times there are so many distractions, and theoretical bombs being dropped that we cannot move.  Sigmund may say we supress ourselves, but it is also the society we live in.  

However if we see the positivity in people we might be able to break free of these bonds that keep us down.  Sigmund Freud never actually focused on anything positive in his writings.  He relays human experience robotically.  It is not exactly that he is criticizing human reality, except that he analyzes us in a way that makes sense while not exactly making any of us feel well.  In this sense it might be true.  That the harrowing reality of us is that we are human, we are imperfect, and in actuality, we are all in this together.

Freud's In Dreams outlines the concept of fear.  The concept of triggering someone's emotions and waiting for them to respond.  The experience of shock and the complimentary memory loss of the event at hand.  These fears and shocking memories can lie dormant, eventually bubbling up little hints of anxiety, influencing the way we see people.  Repressed desires can manifest themselves in dreams, thereby eliminating the circle.  All the subtleties and nuances of everyday life are there, in the dream, presenting themselves as they come forth.

Sex emotions are those most difficult to control and deal with.  In dreams there are theorists that believe the dream experience is not controlled by the participant.

In conclusion dreams are cool too.

When Sir Clive Woodward met England rugby star Maro Itoje

In the second of our exclusive SIR CLIVE WOODWARD interviews prior to the Rugby World Cup meets the triumphant English head coach from 2003 MARO ITOJE …

ITOJE: Sir Clive! Nice to meet you.

SIR CLIVE: Nice to meet you Maro and sit with you for the first time. We are on the eve of the World Cup, which I believe is really open. You have a great team and a great opportunity in Japan . How do you feel about the coming opportunity?

ITOJE: I am incredibly excited. The world cup is the only one in rugby that I have not experienced. I can't wait Growing up, watching World Cups was the highlight of the sport as a fan. It is a great opportunity for the team and myself to show what we are really about and where we can play our game. It will be a moment in your life.

Sir Clive Woodward (left) chose the Maro Itoje's brain (right) for Sportsmail

SIR CLIVE: World Cups can be scary things, believe me. I was lucky to be involved with a team that won one, but after being eliminated by South Africa in 1999, I have never felt so disappointed. Four years later it was a huge relief. Do you think the whole team will get how big this is?

Itoje is excited for the World Cup

ITOJE: It is a huge opportunity. The team understands that. The closer we get to it, the more realistic it becomes.

SIR CLIVE: What about the draw itself – France, Argentina … that seems like a heavy pool for England.

ITOJE: I don't think we're worried. If we play well, we win. It's that simple. If we play well, we win all those games. We are not a team that needs the opposition to have a day off to win. We are a team that supports us, if we play well and bring what we know, what we can bring – we will get the result.

SIR CLIVE: As a team, you have never been shy about your chances in Japan – does that penetrate Eddie Jones?

ITOJE: The goal is to win the World Cup. That is what we have been striving for. We know that a lot of work is needed, but we do not go there for medals for participation. We're going to make a difference there.

Itoje said that the men of Eddie Jones meet the World Cup with only one goal – one goal – to win it

The 24-year-old has already achieved so much in sport at a young age

SIR CLIVE: In j he short career, you have won every game that you have played. You are 24 but have won two Six Nations titles, including the Grand Slam, three European Cups, European Player of the Year 2016, four Premiership titles, an Under 20s World Cup, the LV Cup …

ITOJE: And the & # 39; A-League & # 39 ;!

SIR CLIVE: There we go! How do you manage to keep your feet on the ground like someone who has reached so much so early?

ITOJE: Sport is moving so fast. Every moment that you are in it feels like the greatest moment you have ever been in. A few months ago we played the last European Cup with Saracens. It felt huge. Then we played the Finiership final three weeks later – which felt bigger at the time. The European Cup was old news.

I am very lucky to be part of teams that are full of competitive individuals, with England and Saracens. There is no time for complacency.

There is no time to think, "I have won a few trophies, that's it, I can go on vacation and have fun now." That is not even stated in the vocabulary. Throughout my career I have always thought about what the future is – are we going to go again, or will we just participate? Are we going to rest on our laurels, or are we getting better?

It never sits back to look through photo albums and see what you used to do, it's about what you do and what you do.

Itoje scored for England in their demolition of Ireland in Twickenham last weekend

SIR CLIVE: I see you in the same way as Jonny Wilkinson. He made his debut at the age of 18, was still very young in 2003 and started to achieve everything in the game. You started your career in England on 21 in 2016. What has changed in you since then to 2019?

ITOJE: I was not really involved in the 2015 World Cup. The preseason before the tournament, spent two weeks with the team, and was then dropped. We have done very little rugby within those two weeks.

From the observations that I can make and what I have heard from the conversations I have had with people who have spent more time in that team, I think it is much more player power now. The players take more ownership of the things they do. They contribute more to what they think is right and wrong.

Even from the moment I first got to where we are now – 2016 to 2019 – there is a big difference in that regard too. Players take ownership of the week, have more control over how they react in certain situations.

When we started it was a lot more coach-led, we had a million and one meetings, but now most – if not all meetings – are led by players. The coaches still have an incredibly important role, but it is much more player-driven.

SIR CLIVE: You are already part of the old leadership group 24. How did you adapt?

Itoje believes that the player-led environment with England is currently flourishing

ITOJE: I don't think I'm the most vocal person in the team. There are many players who are much more vocal than me outside the field. Because I grew up in this environment, I felt more at ease in certain situations.

I also realized how important it is to set a good example to give. What I find is that even when you think you're not being watched, you're being watched.

How you behave, how you talk and report to other people, is all part of a message that you are trying to pass on to others. I started realizing the potential influence that I can have on my teammates, both positive and negative – if my actions are not conducive to the team that is doing well.

SIR CLIVE: You You are one of the role models and – without being fooled – superstars of this team. With that in mind, where would you like to see rugby become social, and as a sport if you compare it to others?

ITOJE: I would like to make Rugby as large as possible. It's a great game, a great sport. There is a great attraction for rugby and it is growing. I came to rugby bast. I am not from a rugby background. From where it was to where it is today, it is miles apart.

SIR CLIVE: This team from England has many different backgrounds and cultures – you see that something that has a strong bond in the team?

ITOJE: I think so. Sport in general has the power to do that, in our rugby cover. Sport is a great unifier. It can bring people together like a whole load of government policy cannot. Sport at its best is one of the great things in this world.

SIR CLIVE: I always ask athletes: how do you want to be remembered? First in the 80 minutes and second in 20 years. What would you say about that?

When Itoje withdraws from rugby, he wants both have a social impact as on the field

Itoje helped Saracens with dominated club rugby and won his fourth Premiership last season

ITOJE: Ove The 80 minutes I would like to be remembered as extremely physical, heavy and inexorable. They constantly bounce full of energy. When I'm at my best, that's how I am.

In 20 years I would like to have had an impact on a generation. Winning, trophies and individual prizes are important, but in 20 years people will remember how you felt, rather than what you did.

Ultimately, that becomes old news and someone else does bigger or better things. I would like to be reminded of the impact. Hopefully I would have had a positive influence on the younger generation – perhaps also the older generation – and maybe change the stereotypes or the story of the rugby game.

SIR CLIVE: Martin Johnson used to say to the first element of that question: "If everyone does his job well, we must win the game". That was a powerful thing to put it on the individual, that has stayed with me. Your second answer is fascinating – many athletes would not worry about their social impact, they just want to win on Saturday. Why do you feel that you have the greater responsibility in particular?

ITOJE: When I look at the athletes I admire most, they are guys like Magic Johnson, Muhammad Ali. but if they just did what they did with regard to their sport – if that was all they were – I don't think they would resonate with me that much. I don't know if it is my responsibility in itself, but it is something I want to have a broader impact on, because I know what it feels like from a fan's perspective.

I did not watch a full game of basketball in which Magic Johnson played. I watched a few documentaries and interviews, but hardly involved a quarter of a game with him. He was clearly an excellent sportsman, but I don't think people remember him for that reason – they remember him for the wider impact he had on the game.

SIR CLIVE: do people contact you about things like that, rather than just how you play?

] England is one of the favorites for the Japan tournament that on September 20 starts

ITOJE: They do that. I get quite a few messages on social media. Representation is important – whether it's sport, politics, business, movies – it matters. It is important. The stereotype of rugby is that it is a higher-class game played by white people who went to public school.

When I grew up watching rugby, when I became really interested, it was when I watched a Six Nations game at the Harrow guesthouse. I saw Ugo Monye play – I suddenly felt attracted to Ugo while he looked like me.

SIR CLIVE: He would be very flattered!

ITOJE: Well, maybe a little bit different! He was also a man of Nigerian descent and played for England. It was amazing. That kind of representation is important. The same applies, whether you want to be a businessman, a lawyer, a politician or a sportsman – I always think that when you see someone with a similar background and a story for you in those positions, it feels much more realistic and feasible.

SIR CLIVE: What do people say to you when they see you playing for England?

ITOJE: I have let mothers come to me. It's interesting – the people who talk to me personally are mostly adults on behalf of their children and children come to me on social media. That probably tells you the difference between generations! They say that they are proud, that their child looks up to me and they appreciate how I do my work.

SIR CLIVE: Maro, it was my pleasure to talk to you well for the first time. I wish you every success in Japan. The World Cup is a scary tournament, but if you take your big attitude in it, I know that you are ready.

End of Year Review 2018: K-dramas Part 2

Top 5: These are ordered, though there is a tie, so that is a thing too. The rest is under the cut

Number 4 (part 1): Woohoo Waikiki

Episodes: 20

Station: jtbc

Director/Writer: Lee Changmin (Man to Man), Kim Ki Ho (Modern Farmer)

In A Sentence: These boys have lived together in a guest house, facing life’s challenges.

First of all, this show has been renewed for a second season, which is great. Secondly, this is the only true comedy on this list, and deserves it for the humor that this show has done. It had me laughing literally every episode. The cast had chemistry for days, and it showed on the show every week. The main three were all facing the fact that all of them had previous roles that I knew them from clouding these roles, and all three of them broke out of those spots.

Kim Jung Hyun continues to grow as an actor, which is amazing. Son Seung Won gets the happy ending he deserved in his last show in this one. And Lee Yi Kyung is one of my favs, and does great work in all his roles (including the incredibly idiotic ones like this). The leading ladies are also pretty damn great (Go Won Hee is the highlight).

If you needed a happy go lucky show this year, or now that this year is finally over, give the Waikiki guest house a chance. And I promise that for at least an hour, you won’t be disappointed.

Number 4 (part 2): My ID Is Gangnam Beauty

Episodes: 16

Station: jtbc

Director/Writer: Choi Sung Bum (Two Outs in the Ninth Inning), Choi Soo Young (Cunning Single Lady)

In A Sentence: After being ridiculed for being ugly, Kang Mi Rae pays for a beautiful face, and faces the consequences.

I was so sure I would hate this show, because I am incredible sensitive to the depiction of ‘ugliness’ and weight issues in media. And this show managed to surprise me, both by feeling realistic to the experience of an actual person who gets plastic surgery, and also being realistic to societal views. And I love the fact that Kang Mi Rae is as stuck in those views as the woman and men around her at the beginning of the series.

I have to mention that the actors make me . . . uncertain. I love Lim Soo Hyang as the lead, but Cha Eun Woo is a beautiful beautiful robot, who, to be fair, was playing a fairly unemotional character. The supporting cast often stole the spotlight, and honestly, half the time I was more invested in all of the friendships than the romance, but that was fine.

For a show that could have been a complete train wreck, it was workable. It was a triumph as much as a failure, and on the whole will probably be forgotten. Which is too bad, because its central message is acceptance of all people, and respect for all people. It is great because of that.

Number 3: The Ghost Detective

Episodes: 32

Station: KBS

Director/Writer: Lee Jae Hoon (Page Turner), Han Ji Won (Wanted)

In A Sentence: With grudges and secrets abound, can they successfully find and defeat the woman in red?

Okay, so stay with me. This show is not amazing. It is not a particularly new premise, and it is nothing to call home about writing wise. Hell, the directing isn’t anything to write home about either (this camera has no apparent point of view). I am struggling to say good things, because on the surface, it isn’t there.

But, this show is a master class in suspense. It is insanely well done. They have taken a page from the book of Stranger Things, and have added some of the same musical cues. And, in the first act, the control of information is very well done. Hell, the firs act may even be well written.

The only good things that make it out of the second half of the show is an electric set of performances from a cast desperate to make a lack luster script work. And the highlight of set of performances for me is Kim Won Hae. Kim Won Hae often plays the butt end of a joke, and is known for his comedic timing. This role allows him to shine in a bunch of different ways than his normal works. And I was enthralled.

This show isn’t good. But it is amazing in all of it’s faults, and it holds a place in my heart this year for that alone.

Number 2: Twelve Nights

Episodes: 12

Station: Channel A

Director/Writer: Jung Hyun Soo, Hwang Sook Mi

In A Sentence: A romance over 8 years and twelve nights between travelling souls.

Twelve Nights is a painful story of missed opportunity, following your dreams, and the fragile fallacy of perfect memories. It is a story with an intrinsic optimism while also leaning into the fact that life is hard for everyone and hard on everyone. The contrast of optimistic and realist characters is used to incredible effect, and I could probably write a paper about how missed chances are used as a narrative device across every (and I mean EVERY) characters story line.

Han Seung Yeon builds on her already impressive career in Twelve Nights. She is so damn relatable as a character who is driven and then loses her way, only to find it again. And she is endlessly complex and still respectful constantly. And across from Shin Hyun Soo, she is magic.

By bringing back the duo who already knew each other from Age of Youth, the writer already had some built in chemistry, but they won the jackpot when they got this pair. Shin Hyun Soo is heart rending. He is the wonderful foil to Han Seung Yeon’s character, and the push pull that they communicate in looks alone is special.

This show shows a ton of potential in a whole team that is for the most part unknown. And it shows why indie shows should be on your radar.

Number 1: Just Between Lovers (Rain or Shine)

Episodes: 16

Station: jtbc

Director/Writer: Kim Jin Won (The Package), Yoo Bo Ra (Secret Love)

In A Sentence: A building collapse 10 years ago tore apart their lives, but a new project may pick up the pieces.

Just Between Lovers has the magic sauce of melodramas. It is grounded in the reality of well written, realistic characters facing only slightly over the top situations. It is also maybe both the most tear jerking and also most healing dramas of this year? It is beautifully shot (by the same guy who made The Package so pretty last year) and scored quietly and kindly. It is also amazingly well written, with characters who stay in character and whose actions seem rooted in the consistent characterizations. Yoo Bo Ra is all the more impressive for it, since she has so few writing credits.

I would also be remiss to not mention the acting. Lee Junho may be well known for Twenty (good), Good Manager (well loved domestically), and maybe the trash that was Wok of Love (ugh), this is easily the most impressed have been by him. I love Lee Kang Doo, and a solid chunk of the reason is Junho’s stellar performance. And Won Jin Ah’s first small screen project speaks to a whole lot more experience than she has any right to have. Ha Moon Soo is soft spoken, with unbreakable determination, and a surety of self that is both relatable and just slightly unattainable. And their chemistry is just . . . amazing.

Just Between Lovers is my bet for best written show, but it does that by respecting tropes and sitting in a world that is realistic and too beautiful. It treats mental illness as important but not all encompassing. It shows multiple, realistic depictions of reactions to loss. And it does it all in the middle of a swoony romance between equal partners. And that is why it is my favorite from the year.

He was mild-mannered but as England coach Phil Neville wants his side to discover a mean streak

In the breakfast room of a hotel, nestled in the hills above Antibes, Phil Neville describes the atmosphere in the England camp.

He says the team breakthrough Nikita Parris did not speak to him for 24 hours because she is angry at leaving the side that Japan played on Wednesday night.

He says that Beth Mead is not happy either. The same goes for Striker Ellen White, who was kept out of the game against Argentina. Marcel thinks about it and laughs.

<img id = "i-136f59208b1e3324" src = "https://dailym.ai/2ZHFck5 image-a-27_1561232697983.jpg "height =" 436 "width =" 634 "alt =" England Ladies Boss Phil Neville has called for his ruthless series to show "England Ladies Boss Phil Neville has called for his team to to show a ruthless series "

England Ladies boss Phil Neville has called for his team to show a ruthless series

Actually it is exactly what not only did England qualify for the last 16 women's competition against Cameroon in Valenciennes on Sunday, with three consecutive wins, but there are signs everywhere that the attitude in the team is hardening and that its players are developing the lead they know, they will

Optimism is building the side of Neville after those victories over Scotland, Argentina and Japan, but England knows that if they pass Sunday's opponents in the Stade du Hainaut, there will be much stricter tests ahead.

Somewhere there, the US, the best team in the competition and 13-0 winners over Thailand, make their way towards them like a car in the street of parked cars.

<img id = "i-5ca258411ddf8ea6" src = "https://dailym.ai/2FruFlr image-a-21_1561232300197.jpg "height =" 423 "width =" 634 "alt =" Nikita Parris did not speak to Neville for 24 hours after he was left out of the team to play Japan "

<img id =" i-5ca258411ddf8ea6 "src =" https://dailym.ai/2ZHFdVb "height =" 423 "width =" 634 "alt =" <img id = "i-5ca258411ddf8ea6" src = "https://dailym.ai/2ZHFdVb" height = "423" width = "634" alt = "Nikita Parris did not speak to Neville for 24 hours after being left out of the team to play Japan. do not speak to Neville for 24 hours after being left out of the team to leave Japan play

England played well in patches during the group matches and will have to improve if they have to match their semi-final performance from four years ago, but Parris' verve against Scotland, White's goals, Steph Houghton's intransigence, the impact of Rachel Daly and the endless class of Lucy Bronze are hints that even better results will come.

& # 39; I have not seen anything in the tournament that scares me & # 39 ;, says Neville. & # 39; I have faith in my players. I have seen nothing to let me go: "Oh dear, if we play them, we will fight."

& # 39; Our biggest tests are against teams like Argentina; teams that we expect to beat, but are low and really suffocate. The players are looking forward to the games where teams will come to us, as Japan did a little, and give us more leeway and more room to do counterattacks. & # 39;

Neville makes no secret of being an admirer of the success story of the US woman

Neville makes no secret of the fact that he is an admirer of the success story of the US woman

Neville makes no secret of the fact that he is an admirer of the US template for success. He sees a group of serial winners in them; women who impress him as much because of their mental resilience as their athletic ability.

It is something that I tried to blow into his players in the 18 months since he took over. Parris, Mead and White and their anger to play tell him that England arrives there.

& # 39; I have been studying the US since the first day I got the job & # 39 ;, says Neville. & # 39; The US is the best team, they have the best mentality, they have been doing it for a long time and they are the most successful, but they are there to be beaten.

& # 39; They have a winning mentality. They ran that & # 39; over someone to get that victory & # 39; to feel about them. You see how they are together; what they ask of each other

& # 39; That's what winning teams do. They are not afraid of falling out together. They are not afraid of going together because winning is the most important thing.

& # 39; That is something that we are constantly working on in our team. When I first came to work, there was real sympathy around the camp, but there was an incident in the first half against Japan when a few of our players really challenged each other on the field and I encourage that because that winning is a mentality that drives everyone.

& # 39; Our players have more exchanges on the field now, which are in fact good, old-fashioned roll-over. We told you early that you can't go through a game of football without saying to someone, "Come on, you must be better than that, your death must be better, work harder, stay with runners."

& # 39; It cannot always be & # 39; thanks, well done & # 39; and all nice and nice. We have introduced that mentality. We see it in training. & # 39;

The message to the players of Neville is that it is now time to step up the challenges for each other. The best matches often have a nasty streak, an ability to play with a grin and a smile, and now that England is in the knock-out phase, Marcel knows that the fighting spirit, the bloody attitude and the desperation to win in his players must come to the fore

It raises the question if the same applies to him. Not anymore, Mr Nice Guy? Neville was always considered one of the most equal men in the game when he was a player: a softer, quieter presence than his brother Gary; a man who was difficult to ride and was more used to taking a volley of assault by a teammate like Roy Keane than shouting at someone himself.

<img id = "i-43218e85c5b61328" src = "https://dailym.ai/2FltZ0X image-a-28_1561232719964.jpg "height =" 423 "width =" 634 "alt ="

] Neville accepts that there is now no room for rotation and he must call his best side "

Neville accepts that there is now no room for rotation and he should call his best side

Angry outbursts are still his style, but he accepts that the time for ruthlessness also rests on him, now that everything is at stake in every game that England plays.

Rotation has enabled him to give more players opportunities and keep them fresh from now until England's participation in this tournament stops, it will be just about the best XI.

& # 39; The difficult thing is the selection of teams & # 39 ;, says Neville. & # 39; If we give the team a name, it's the hardest five-minute meeting you'll ever have. You have players who are really disappointed. If you care about a series of players, that leaves something to you.

Now that we are in the last 16, it is the best team in every game. That is the merciless side that I now have to produce for my players. We have worked hard for 18 months to offer players opportunities, give experiences, rotate and maintain freshness. Now it's about being ruthless and winning every game.

& # 39; I said after the game against Japan that our playing style was not negotiable, but now it's about winning and that's where I am and my team has become serial winner. & # 39;

Entering the game with Cameroon, England knows that although their progress has been serene so far, they are in the more difficult half of the draw and their path will not be easy.

<img id = "i-22b1be6cdaa7a296" src = "https://dailym.ai/2ZFjQnu image-a-25_1561232527872.jpg "height =" 410 "width =" 634 "alt =" <img id = "i-22b1be6cdaa7a296" src = "https://dailym.ai/2WgE5KP /22/20/15127096-0-image-a-25_1561232527872.jpg "height =" 410 "width =" 634 "alt =" <img id = "i-22b1be6cdaa7a296" src = "https: //i.dailymail. co.uk/1s/2019/06/22/20/15127096-0-image-a-25_1561232527872.jpg "height =" 410 "width =" 634 "alt =" <img id = "i-22b1be6cdaa7a296" src = "https://dailym.ai/2FltZxZ" height = "410" width = "634" alt = "<img id = "i-22b1be6cdaa7a296" src = "https://dailym.ai/2FltZxZ" height = "410" width = "634" alt = "<img id =" i-22b1be6cdaa7a296 "src =" https://dailym.ai/2ZHFesd .jpg "height =" 410 "width =" 634 "alt ="] England played well in shreds during the group spe and will have to improve "

England only played well in shreds during the group matches and will have to improve

If they negotiate Cameroon, they will meet Norway or Australia in the quarterfinals. If they continue to the final four, it is probably the US or France in the semifinals.

The quality of football during the tournament – including the goalkeeping – has suggested that the ladies game still shows an upward trend. The interest is also huge.

The BBC reported Friday that 17.2 million people had viewed their report at the end of the group stage in the UK, more than the total of the entire tournament in Canada four years ago.

Bumper television viewers in other European markets prove that there is interest and suggest that disappointing audience figures in France do more than posters and security issues and perhaps even France's sometimes ambivalent attitude to football than to underlying trends.

The atmosphere in Japan's game was not the best, but it would must be fiery against Cameroon

However, even Neville admits that the atmosphere at the Allianz Riviera stadium in Nice was a bit flat.

& # 39; If you go outside and the stadium is a bit quiet, & # 39; he says, & it doesn't feel like a world cup. & # 39;

That should be different in Valenciennes on Sunday, where a better audience is expected for the second round of England.

The contest also raises the possibility of a penalty shootout and despite the controversy over the VAR's penalty for keepers to deviate from their line to try to save spot kicks, Houghton says. skipper of England, the prospect of fines Does not fear her team.

& # 39; I feel like we are really prepared & # 39 ;, says Houghton. & # 39; We have practiced a lot of fines, we have our processes that we go through, every player gets a chance to go through that process at the end of every training.

& # 39; Karen Bardsley is the most prepared keeper I have ever played with and even when it comes to the finer details of where the strikers are shooting, whether they shoot high or shoot low, they sit down with the goalkeeper coach and go through the analysis and everything.

& # 39; We must ensure that we do not leave any substance unturned. If it matters, people will improve. They are competition winners. If it was a shootout, I would have confidence in the keepers that we have. & # 39;

Neville is even more optimistic. & # 39; There is no fear of punishment & # 39 ;, he says. & # 39; If it happens, we will win. & # 39;

Houghton has already demonstrated her leadership qualities during this World Cup, but she is equally aware of the responsibilities she and other senior players such as Jill Scott, Karen Carney and Toni Duggan have towards younger and less experienced players as the stakes in the tournament become higher.

& # 39; It would be a shame not to share our experiences with the young, & # 39; says Houghton, & # 39; and allowing them to use their potential in this tournament, and above all, enjoy it.

& # 39; These are the best days of your life in football. We have strong faith and so much potential. On our day we can beat everyone. & # 39;
