@DeadlineDayLive Aston Villa and Atletico would more vigorously reject any swap deals for Gyokeres than Arsenal would refute their existence.

🚨 Arsenal have not held any talks over swap deals involving Viktor Gyökeres and either Morgan Rogers or Julián Álvarez. The reports linking Gyökeres with potential exchanges involving Aston Villa or Atlético Madrid have been dismissed, with Arsenal viewing the Swedish striker as a key part of Mikel Arteta's long-term plans. There have been no discussions, negotiations or swap proposals involving Gyökeres, Rogers or Álvarez. (Source: @stevek9KS1TV)

@FP_Scotland @itvfootball Probably not.

@mec1539 @PolitlcsUK @Keir_Starmer @10DowningStreet The government didn’t ban it. FIFA did. Freedom of speech is only a protection from the government.

@TheGeneralBC @PolitlcsUK @Keir_Starmer @10DowningStreet Sir you are misinformed. Freedom of Speech, flying and displaying flags is considered a form of symbolic speech and is heavily protected under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. The government cannot ban a flag simply because it disagrees with the message

🚨 NEW: FIFA has reminded England fans that political flags are not allowed at the 2026 World Cup It comes after the FA was made aware of flags in Orlando calling Keir Starmer a "nonce"

@FcSt8tes Weah.

IF Pulisic isn’t able to start Friday who would you guys want to see start instead?

@mec1539 @PolitlcsUK @Keir_Starmer @10DowningStreet Freedom of speech just means you can’t be prosecuted for what you say.

Nope. no way. The games played in America are covered by American Freedom of Speech. England fans hoist your colors high and proud. As for that pompous fool @Keir_Starmer currently parking himself at @10DowningStreet you don’t like what I post, come visit me in Virginia, I’m more than willing to explain Freedom of Speech to you and I’ll try to be nice. No guarantee

@Be_like_legend You need to stop searching juice cleanse porn

I am begging the internet to stop showing me "5-to-9 morning routines" where someone drinks structured water, journals for an hour, and ice plunges before sunrise. My morning routine is hitting snooze until the fear of homelessness physically drags me out of bed. That’s it. That’s the routine.

@JuneVanBloem KDB, Courtois, and Lukaku been leading Belgium to fuckall for a decade.

More utter woke nonsense is Tielemans captaining Belgium when KDB and Courtois are on the pitch. Does he have a terminal illness? Is it his birthday? What happened to the game I love?

@SkylarSkye3 Dentists.

Why does every American seem to have amazing teeth? Serious question.

@AmFootballin The $26 bill, imo.

Forget citizenship - if the US wins the World Cup, they're putting this man on the $20 bill.

@OP4C They bought AI1.0 and it is shite. We have been linked to Saibari before, but he is off to Bayern.

What is this shite?

@TheAthleticFC One of the most overrated defenders in world football. If he can’t do it with pace, he can’t do it.

Micky van de Ven made his senior debut under Ronald Koeman in October 2023 and mainly plays as a left-back to accommodate Virgil van Dijk and Matthijs de Ligt for the Netherlands. He starts in his preferred position against Japan though, with Jan Paul van Hecke on the left. Excelling at this World Cup could have an impact on his future. The 25-year-old's contract at Tottenham Hotspur expires in 2029, but there has been significant interest from big clubs in the Premier League and beyond. 📝 @jaydmharris 🔗 nyti.ms/4em2ELx

@CFCDray The price of tickets probably.

Why are all the Ecuador spectators whites but all their players are blacks.

@shankers73 @nqatpod He isn’t. He is more versatile in that he can play centerback as well.

@nqatpod Brown is better than Hall

Nathaniel Brown €55m. Cucurella €50m. What price Lewis Hall?

@jonawils I didn’t follow the premier league at that time but I loved watching Claudio for the USMNT. What kind of player was Reyna for Sunderland?

Six Sunderland players have got on the pitch at this World Cup; none have won. But Gio Reyna was born in Sunderland, and Amad Diallo has Sunderland in his heart.

@Jadentheman1 Pellegrino Matazarro.

He wants that USMNT job so badly. And they might give it to him lol

@dongkong269 @Jadentheman1 He isn’t staying.

@Jadentheman1 If Ponch does well he’s keeping the job

@EinSchwarzwelt Strikers are worthless without service. Pulisic = service.

Might get some slander for this but right now our best player that actually strikes fear into the opposition isn't Pulisic but Balogun. Doesn't mean Pulisic's been bad, he was vintage and near his best. But Balogun is the sort of talent that gets top European clubs to pay atten

@dan_villafan I promise you, American fans hate commercial saturation of sports more than you do. It is one of the reasons I decided to start following a premier league club. It is about nothing more than FIFA and its partners making money.

I swear they only brought hydration breaks in for the American audience who can only concentrate on sport when it’s served up in quarters

@pythaginboots They should sit Gakpo, play Summerville on the left, Malen on the right, and bring in Brobbey.

Malen stinking up the place up top just like he did for Villa. Immense striker of a ball but when it comes to occupying the CBs - a nothing burger… Speaking of, don’t think the Samurai Blue’s defence could handle the beef of Brobbey. Or switch Malen with Gakpo -Omid #WorldCup

@fc_mossman @MouglasDark He’s right in that he doesn’t do the center forward dirty work well, but this is known and it isn’t like Koeman would expect something he never does.

@MouglasDark I thought so too

Did I watch a different first half than everyone else?
