@DeadlineDayLive 32 teams seems the right amount. This current world cup is suffering from too many teams in it.

🚨 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: A 64-team World Cup is moving further away from becoming a reality. The proposal put forward by CONMEBOL appears to be losing momentum, with Gianni Infantino not showing much enthusiasm for the idea internally. FIFA's president is understood to have reservations about expanding the tournament beyond its already enlarged format. UEFA remain firmly against the proposal, while the AFC are also said to have significant doubts, leaving the chances of a further expansion looking increasingly slim at this stage. 🌎 (Source: @RMCsport)

@HanaHoops Because they are not hydration breaks.

Why is everyone so against hydration breaks????

@lilmisstitanium @cineworld Stop this behavior @cineworld It's not difficult. One per person.

This is absolutely diabolical and disgusting a @cineworld allowed this to happen. That poor child behind him in the queue looks devastated. How was there not a limit on these buckets? I Hope whoever this is gets stuck with every last one of them buckets now.

@TinyWriterLaura It's irrelevant. It's one seat, unless she's paid for two seats of course for her bags. And, she's stopping other women from sitting down not just men. But you knew that.

i think it’s weird that as a man you didn’t want to sit on the empty seat at the table full of men, but for some reason really wanted to sit next to the lone woman who probably has her luggage there to dissuade men from blocking her in unless there are no other seats left

@JordanEVGuy @leedslivenews You don't know that yet.

@OsirisRage @leedslivenews It wasn’t.

Another day, another heartbreaking road fatality. @leedslivenews you have some explaining to do. First and foremost, my thoughts are with the family and friends of the 22-year-old who has tragically lost his life. No family should have to endure this. But I have to ask… Why was it necessary for the headline to lead with “electric car”? If this had involved a petrol or diesel car, would the headline have said “petrol car” or “diesel car”? Of course it wouldn’t. It never has. So why are we now seeing this? The powertrain is irrelevant to the tragedy. The story is about a young man who has lost his life and a police investigation into what happened. Whether the car was powered by electricity, petrol or diesel doesn’t change that. It feels like the words “electric car” are being used simply because they attract clicks and fuel online arguments. Imagine being the victim’s family and seeing your loved one’s death become part of another debate about EVs, because someone decided the type of powertrain belonged in the headline. Road fatalities deserve better than clickbait. If the vehicle type is genuinely relevant to the cause of a collision, then by all means report it. But if it isn’t, it shouldn’t be singled out simply because it’s electric. The focus should be on the people whose lives have been devastated, not on the badge or the battery.

@CDS_1980_ @noobbricks Video, not still images. Bye 👋🏻

@OsirisRage @noobbricks You must be blind then

On the topic of 2008, Lewis Hamilton received an outrageous 25 (TWENTY FIVE!!!!) second penalty post-race for not correctly handing back the position to Raikkonen in Belgium here and therefore supposedly gaining an unjust advantage. Purposefully crashing into opposition gets you less btw. It dropped him two places and handed the win directly to Felipe Massa, which was a greater points swing than the infamous Singapore Grand Prix where Ferrari, not Renault, was really solely to blame for Massa's misfortunes. So don't ever use 2008 as a pathetic attempt at making 2021 look just. They are not comparable in the slightest.

@alexberesfordTV Supposed to be 34 on Thursday but then down to 17 the week after. If you point out the highs you have to point out the lows as well, otherwise it's confirmation bias of a predetermined belief.

50 years on from the Summer of 1976, this is very likely to be a significant weather event. Some data models are predicting high’s of 38C midweek. June day and nighttime records are likely to be broken.

@TouchmineX It it's mandatory it's not a tip.

🚨🇺🇸 One of the strangest stories from this World Cup. 😳 Restaurants and bars across New York have started complaining about visiting fans, not because of bad behavior, but because many aren't leaving tips after eating or drinking. ✍🏻 In much of the world, tipping is optional or uncommon. But in the United States, tips are a major part of restaurant and bar workers' income, with 20% becoming the standard expectation. 💵🇺🇸 ⚠️ A mandatory 20% gratuity is now being added in some restaurants to bills during the World Cup.

@ashkan Spoiler alert - it won't be the USA

@HLTCO Some people love adverts, they have no attention span from Doomscrolling, are obsessed with celebrities.

What I don’t understand about the (albeit sparse few) who are coming out in defence of these “Hydration Breaks” being used in every game regardless of the heat is why they are defending them at all? Are you that much of a fan of advertising and commercialism? What’s to like?

@WelsbyElton Nobody cares Elton, the game is at 1am.

The BBC opted for no studio prescence in covering the Ecuador/Curaceao game. Probably because their studio is in Salford. It reminds me of Italia '90 where ITV slaughtered them. It's the same again.

@StuBennett Yeah and no adverts allowed throughout and no tips required

I propose that in retaliation, all NFL games hosted in UK get split into two halves, rather than four quarters.

@CDS_1980_ @noobbricks Just watch the video. He gained the opportunity of a pass into turn 1 from the advantage he gained from cutting the final corner. It's not rocket science.

@OsirisRage @noobbricks Care to explain exactly how he didn’t give the place back properly

@ChaosLensX Paultons Park. Legit the best theme park in the UK.

A heated dispute at Peppa Pig World shows a family with a disabled child arguing with staff over a height check. The parents felt a request to check their daughter's legs was deeply inappropriate, while the worker was trying to verify ticket compliance. Who do you think is in the wrong? Both sides have valid points regarding safety policies and disability dignity, but a severe breakdown in communication and a highly defensive escalation turned a routine ticket check into an absolute mess.

@acier_jean @noobbricks Gained a lasting advantage. We all knew it at the time. Ive seen it a hundred times.

@OsirisRage @noobbricks You should actually watch it again - he ended up in front of the Ferrari and gave the place back. And the rules clearly stated rhatba driver can drive off track with good reason as long as there’s no advantage, which there wasn’t as soon as the place was handed back.

@acier_jean @noobbricks It's common sense. He cut the corner, gained an advantage whilst enabled him to overtake into turn 1. It was obvious at the time, it's obvious now

@OsirisRage @noobbricks The problem there is that it was never what giving the "place back properly" actually meant. It wasn't until the appeal that the panel clarified what Lewis should have done and applied that rule retroactively.

@TelegraphSport I disagree with this as I only care about the 90 minutes of football not the studio crap. BBC winning comfortably, as usual, in that race.

It has become abundantly clear that ITV has won the battle with the BBC, as far as its home for this World Cup is concerned. 🔗 telegraph.co.uk/football/2026/…

@Seb5meister Do explain that logic. Better than Bahrain? Monaco? Netherlands? Brazil?

Vettel’s 1 car more impressive than any of Fernando’s 8

@WallStreetMav You've beaten Paraguay and Australia, on home turf, both games you should be winning anyway. Let's see if you make the last 8...

It's called Soccer now ...
