Good luck to England tonight as they open their World Cup against Croatia (9pm, ITV1)

Good luck to England tonight as they open their World Cup against Croatia (9pm, ITV1). Whatever happens on the pitch, our homes should stay safe places. Reports of domestic abuse are known to rise around major tournaments, but let's be clear: football does not cause abuse. Abuse is a choice. A result is never an excuse, and a sexist comment is not banter. Everyone deserves to enjoy match day in a space that feels safe, respectful and welcoming. That takes all of us. #ItTakesATeam If you or so
