How your neighbour's 18-year-old son you've taken on a fishing trip because he "needs toughening up" looks at you when he asks if you remembered to bring the tackle

SOMOS CARLOS KIRK WE CARRY THE GAME

@FabrizioRomano how does he have the nerve to blame the ref after a performance that dogshit

🚨🇫🇷 Didier Deschamps: “I will ask a question… does the referee possess the required level to manage a World Cup semi-final?”.

@FourSkinners obviously I'm not talking about Handmaid's Tale just making a general point about how it's laughable to equate curating books with banning them

There’s a lot you can say about the handmaidens tale It being a story about ass fucking is about as far from reality as you could ever label them It’s about men restricting women’s rights and using them as baby factories But nah, ass fucking right

Bastille Day more like Ass Team Day #FRAESP

@Tuvvers @seanbaillie91 Told you

@HowlingToad @seanbaillie91 Belgium get rid of them tonight

They genuinely just cruised past a very good Morocco team without leaving second gear. Just don’t see how anyone stops them.

@tdurbo @theawayfans How about now

@HowlingToad @theawayfans Well, France are. Spain haven’t impressed me much tbh. Which doesn’t mean Spain won’t win it, cuz it’s what they do. Like Germany and Italy did in the olden days 😊

Be honest then, what stops this great England team from winning the World Cup? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 I can only see Wednesday going one way, and it could well be similar to the Germany demolition of Brazil in 2014...

@reslecelec @KalshiFC ?

@HowlingToad @KalshiFC 😂

BREAKING: England and Argentina are now more likely than Spain to reach the World Cup Final: 60% — France 54% — England 46% — Argentina 40% — Spain

@Federic67560533 @stendhalist @maiamindel Declaring independence doesn’t wipe the slate clean

@HowlingToad @stendhalist @maiamindel Your history say a lot of your present

The racism stuff about Argentina is genuinely pathological. No the average Argentine is not descendant from Nazis or whatever & I swear Europeans & Americans acting so haughty about racism is insane like did you forget what goes on in your countries or something

@GwladAlexander yes, but if a Welsh independence referendum were ever held, the "No" vote would win by Kim Jong-Un numbers

What about us? Do we have the right to determine our own future? YMA O HYD🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

@ode8283 While I agree that's cringe, you might want to check the lyrics to your national anthem...

Why do England "fans" turn everything into being about old wars? Very odd.

@JohnWight1 "If you take away a team's good players, they become less good." Most profound Scottish insight

Without Jude Bellingham, this England side are Middlesborough on an FA Cup run.

@JohnWight1 Hey non-fiction author, he never said this.

Diego ran rings round England in 1986. He loved Scotland too. 'Sure, the English may very well hate me, but the Scottish love me, and that's all that matters.'

@mcandidate He is traditionally handsome. just needs to sort the barnet out or shave it and grow a beard

might not be traditionally handsome but has the unmistakable aura of a shagger which is infinitely more important than being good looking

@minjicel67 Sushi is fine but why don't they cook the fish? Do they really mean to tell me that it wouldn't improve the flavour?

i can tell you people have japan fetishes cus sushi is literally just raw fish and rice in seaweed and everyone pretends it’s a culinary masterpiece

@lucio_tato @EATBATS_Bedge @MsMelChen How many more? And will they keep holding referendums after indepdence, in case they change their mind?

@EATBATS_Bedge @MsMelChen IMV, there will be more referendums. The writing is on the wall.

Okay, this might stir up a hornet’s nest… At first, I thought Scotland’s 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 habit of cheering for whoever England plays - even Argentina - was just banter. But now I’m not so sure. It feels like it runs much deeper. What I find truly intriguing is how some Scottish nationalists blame English identity (and often the English people collectively) for British colonialism, while painting Scotland as its very first victim. Yet many Scots were enthusiastic participants in the empire, often serving as key figures in its ruling elite. After the 1707 Union, Scotland’s educated middle class, military tradition, and economic pressures pushed many talented Scots into imperial service. They excelled in law, engineering, medicine, and administration. Scots comprised roughly one-third of colonial governors-general in the later Victorian/Edwardian era. They were disproportionately represented in colonial governance, the military, and civil service, making up a significant portion of governors, administrators, and officials relative to Scotland’s population. Scots were prominent as governors in the Carribean, India, Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaya, and African colonies. They also dominated roles in the East India Company and later imperial services. Rather than acknowledging Scotland’s active role, the narrative often shifts to claims of “internalised Anglo-phobia” or some sort of Stockholm syndrome. It’s as if Scotland was forced into complicity like Django Unchained’s ‘Stephen,’ the loyal house slave who sides with the master. The reality seems simpler. Scotland fought bravely, eventually lost, joined the winning side, and then did rather well out of the arrangement - certainly better than most of the world’s colonized peoples. Am I wrong?

Looks like the induction day at a New Delhi call centre

@GavGillespie @footyinsider247 The point is the graphic is wrong

@HowlingToad @footyinsider247 Have you played Argentina? 😂😂😂

Scotland have played 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚 top ten ranked sides at the World Cup this summer than England, despite the Three Lions reaching the semi-finals. 😱
