@NealGardner_ Today's win was eerily similar to how they beat Portugal. Except Spain scored early enough that France had time to have a go, Portugal had neither the time nor (prior to conceding) enough confidence in their stars to have a go. Complete immobilisation of opposition confidence

Spain’s path to the finals included: •Austria •Uruguay •Portugal •Belgium •France 1 goal conceded….

@alex_1337x @OliviaBuzaglo and that would be exciting, wouldn't it? France's motivation from four years ago's final and how Argentina reacted after the Copa America win in 2024. I'd be scared for Argentina, might still be the case if England win and its France/Argentina in the 3rd place playoff.

@Admaaaa @OliviaBuzaglo France vs Argentina would be ugly. Argentina is shit, they had an easy route to the semis and have struggled against every mid team they played against. France would wipe the floor with them.

Anyone else wondering if we beat Argentina, how the hell are we going to get the ball off Spain? 😂😂😂

@MiguelDelaney Unless you’re Spanish or have a dislike towards France is this a result that satisfies anyone? Shows that an open attacking style that’s aesthetically pleasing isn’t the best way to win games. Arteta couldn’t be happier tonight

It isn't that France haven't turned up. It's that Spain basically rendered them irrelevant. Best performance of the tournament so far, by a distance. Just imposed their game on them. Deschamps also got it wrong, too. They knew two on three in midfield was a risk.

You can throw all kinds of labels at how France 🇫🇷 have played throughout the World Cup but the one thing they haven’t done is play with fear.. till now, didn’t foresee this performance. Spain 🇪🇸 winning in all the areas, general fitness included #FRAESP

Why have France 🇫🇷 decided to play Spain 🇪🇸 using Spain’s tactics.. ditched the fast breaking, direct style to go short and slow. Played so much into Spain’s hands, it looks like France need half time #FRAESP

PSG currently readying a statement that the Digne deal has fallen through…. #FRAESP

@lasicilia His agent doesn't mess around... keeping his man busy and in the spotlight

Erling Haaland è arrivato a Catania. La stella del Manchester City è in Sicilia per partecipare alla sfilata di Dolce&Gabbana a Taormina e concedersi poi qualche giorno di vacanza a bordo di uno yacht.

@BBCSport @BBCBreakfast Is the 'impossible' thing he's attempting, for people to call him Ramsey-Peaty and not shudder?

'What I am trying to do here is almost impossible - that's what gets me up in the morning.' 💪 Adam Ramsay-Peaty speaks to @BBCBreakfast about the upcoming Commonwealth Games 🗣️🏊‍♂️

@walruswhisperer @CBSMornings 👏🏼 finally! I imagine the minute the remaining animals are on trailers and heading off what’s left will be torn down?

@CBSMornings As promised.

A rescue effort is underway to relocate 30 beluga whales from an abandoned Marineland theme park in Ontario after the facility closed following animal welfare concerns. The whales will be transferred to aquariums in the United States and Spain, with the move anticipated to take several weeks. cbsnews.com/chicago/news/s…

@norwegianesc What’s even more impressive is, that many people decided “ok, delay or not I’m going to be there”. It went really late didn’t it? Close to midnight? I missed the end of it, where did it ‘end’ so to speak?

I’ve never seen anything like this in my life. I honestly can’t remember a time when Norwegians have been this united. The World Cup brought us all together. Cities, small towns, pubs, living rooms - everywhere people gathered to support our team. Tonight, our national heroes were honoured for what they achieved, and for giving us a summer of 2026 we’ll never forget. To those who think celebrating our team is “too much”: We don’t care! Not one bit! We’ll keep singing, keep celebrating, and keep dreaming. Bring on Euro 2028. Bring on World Cup 2030! 🇳🇴

How you know you've watched the World Cup. Watching a few minutes of a friendly tonight and thinking "68th minute, be a hydration break in a minute"

@itvfootball Haha, 100 matches and you’ve got 6 clips?

There are no World Cup matches today, so here’s a look back at some of the funniest moments from the tournament so far 🙌 Which is your favourite? 😅

@windowintlpod 48 qualifiers gives enough nations the chance to qualify. 64 was really unpopular before the tournament started and only gained momentum because some seem to dislike how the 3rd place qualifiers worked out. The only change required is revert to goal difference from head-to-head

A 64-team #FIFAWorldCup? ✅ No 3rd place teams make the knockout rounds- 16 groups of 4, top 2 from each group make RO32 ✅ Adding 16 teams (4 groups of 4) adds 24 more games ✅ We’d be adding teams like: 🇮🇹🇩🇰🇵🇱🇮🇪🇭🇺🇳🇬🇨🇲🇨🇷🇧🇴🇵🇪🇦🇪🇴🇲🇮🇩🇸🇷🇯🇲🇳🇨🇬🇦 ✅ More new nations could have been: 🇽🇰🇻🇪 What is your opinion on it?

@FreddyLA7 Good to see you back, i was checking to see what World Cup related things were being posted yesterday and suddenly thought "i wonder if Freddy is still out there". It must be feeling a bit quieter now than a few weeks ago

Hello again. We’re currently in Clemson, South Carolina. I’ve decided to come back here to document the final part of our road trip. The main reason I deactivated my account two weeks ago was that things became increasingly toxic. For some people, it’s unfortunately unfathomable that a good story can exist without some kind of hidden agenda behind it. There was even a Reddit group going through my entire account trying to find anything they could use to reveal my identity. I know this was only a small percentage of people, but after a while it became exhausting. During the last two weeks, I received so many kind messages on Instagram, and they really made me realize how many people genuinely enjoyed following the trip. Some people even told me that their grandparents regularly ask them, “What are the Germans up to today?” I think that’s really cool. I decided to continue because I realized that the overwhelming majority of people loved following along. A small group of very loud people shouldn’t be able to ruin something that brought so many others joy. I also want to clear something up, as people who follow me on Instagram already know. I’ve been to the United States before. This is not my first visit, and I’ve never claimed that it was. The last time I was here was in January 2022, when I visited New York and Philadelphia. A lot of people shared my Raising Cane’s post from November 2025 to make it look like I was secretly American. That post wasn’t from the United States, it was from my trip to Saudi Arabia. This is my first time back in the U.S. in more than four years, and apart from Boston, I’d never visited any of the places we’ve been to on this trip before. That’s probably why many people assumed it was our first time in America, because for all of these places, it actually was. And let me tell you, Ohio and Alabama are very different from New York City or Los Angeles. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Thanks for reading.

@FOS Not sure this is going to appreciate in value anytime in the near future

FIFA is selling pieces of the World Cup Final pitch for $450. According to FIFA, "each piece contains an original fragment of the iconic Final playing surface, making it a unique collectible that celebrates one of the world's greatest sporting events."

@CheapPanini As a Spurs player he’s not yet accustomised to tasting victory

I just think he's neat

@CheapPanini @AVFCOfficial the new season profile picture is sorted!

We very occasionally think twice before posting some of our less good drawings. This is one of those times.

@bhofheimer_espn @malika_andrews @andyroddick @usopen You guys needed a montage to close it out!

Nice moment w/ @malika_andrews & @andyroddick as both wrap up their first #Wimbledon assignments for ESPN. Job well done by both and congrats to ESPN's entire crew in front of and behind the camera in London, led by VP/Production Linda Shultz. Next up: @USOpen in August 🎾

@swearimnotpaul Maybe in Europe but with its size and range of stadia you can’t beat the US. However, no world wide sporting event should be ‘based’ in any one country or region as much as a Saudi World Cup sounds about as fun as a night out in Stevenage

England is arguably the best-suited country to host the men's World Cup, and they haven't held it since 1966.
