Goosebumps time.

@BBCMOTD So nany sad/bad losers at this World Cup, must be a generation Z thing?

Norway's goalscorer Andreas Schjelderup thought key decisions went against them in their World Cup quarter-final against England.

@ZachLowy Another american who doesn't really understand the rules of football.

Hard to feel like Norway haven't been completely hard done by. Between conceding a goal that touched the skycam, to having a goal ruled out for a 50/50 challenge in the box, to awarding Pickford a foul after he bashed into his own teammate...some very bizarre decisions today.

@DuncanCastles Learn the rules before commenting. Clear foul.

Absurd decision to overrule Norway’s second goal for Haaland pushing back on Anderson ahead of a goal where the England midfielder would have had no impact on the eventual finish. Once again FIFA VAR favours the bigger nation. #NORENG #WorldCup

@CraigHope_DM Only if every player turns up and puts in a good shift. Messi would embarass the version that played Norway.

🤔 Can England really win the World Cup playing like this? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Maybe they can & maybe that’s their only way… 👇 Video reflections from Miami youtu.be/wlqMIhV3-Eo?is…

@SirNotTomFarmer @LMessifanclub @TeamMessi @TyCSports You still crying?🤣

What a front page 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🤝🇦🇷

@agbnufc_ He has a bad knee injury....🙈

Right then, Switzerland are out, that is supposed to be the trigger for us signing Manzambi. Get it done please.

@alfiehaaland Enjoy the row home Alfie. Unlucky not to turn over an out of sorts England.

Really? Saved bye the referee. Hope you win the WC now. But feel we got robbed today.

@CraigHope_DM We rode our luck, but we got to the semis, great achievement.

Hard to call now. England lucky to get through second half without conceding. They looked spent & changes didn't have desired impact. But you still suspect England 2-1...

@CraigHope_DM Very shaky performance by England. Very little attacking creativity...get Rashford on.

Disallowed... 1-1. But England were on the ropes there for a few minutes.

@uttdkola Can't be many Man U or Chelsea supporters on here!

I can see Edger Davids, who's the other player? Level: Difficult

@agbnufc_ Hopefully we learned that lesson with Isak.

Right listen, if he wants to leave, he has to go, there is zero point going on with the "club say not for sale" bollocks. Just like Isak it is completely pointless. This is a huge fuck on, losing Tonali and Bruno and replacing them with prospect kids is dangerous.

@balance_82 @NEDUszn8 That's what I thought too.

@NEDUszn8 Belogun

Name the player? LEVEL: VERY DIFFICULT

@Robertedmunds13 @footballontnt That would make for a very interesting situation, but I tend to agree. UEFA need to stand up to FIFA.

@JohnKeith53 @footballontnt Actually i'd refuse to play if he plays

List of players to have their red cards overturned (or suspended) at the World Cup, since the card was introduced in 1970: 🇺🇸 Florian Balogun End of list.

@jackson_NUFC_ @agbnufc_ Did Kane 'intend' to kick the Mexican player's foot and concede a penalty? Probably not, but all the pundits except Shearer said it was a penalty. Dermot Gallagher knows what he is talking about and he was 100% yes to a red card for the US player.

@JohnKeith53 @agbnufc_ While I do agree with that point mostly I think it’s also important to notice he’s not even looking at the player. Hes looking at the ball

I was enjoying the US doing well for the fans and vibes but they need to get bounced now. This Balogun saga embarrassed the sport completely. Not even Blatter would pull this.

@jackson_NUFC_ @agbnufc_ Intent doesn't matter, as Dermot Gallagher says on Ref Watch today ( Youtube)

@JohnKeith53 @agbnufc_ Would you not be raging if it was given for england? There’s no intent just a coming together.

@JacobsBen He's a lying toe rag and should be sacked.

BREAKING: FIFA President Gianni Infantino on Flo Balogun's red card. “I have seen the public comments regarding the decision of the independent FIFA Disciplinary Committee related to the suspension of Folarin Balogun, and I would like to reiterate a fundamental principle of FIFA’s governance. “FIFA’s judicial bodies are independent. They operate autonomously, apply the FIFA Disciplinary Code, and decide cases based on the applicable regulations and the specific facts before them. Their independence is essential to the credibility and integrity of football, and this must always be respected. “Yes, I regularly discuss matters related to the FIFA World Cup with the President of the United States, and on this matter, I did receive a call from President Donald Trump, just as I receive calls from heads of state, government officials, football stakeholders and business executives from around the world on many different issues. During our conversation, I explained that there was an ongoing legal process involving FIFA’s independent judicial bodies and that the case would be decided in due course by the competent bodies. That is how FIFA’s system works, and it is a principle that I will always uphold. “I read the decisions of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee when they are issued. Sometimes I am surprised by them. Sometimes I agree with them, and sometimes I disagree. “What I always do, however, is respect those decisions and the autonomy of the bodies that make them. Whether we personally like a decision or not is irrelevant. Respect for independent institutions and the rule of law is what protects the integrity of our competitions and the credibility of FIFA at all times.”

@jackson_NUFC_ @agbnufc_ It was a blatant red card for a dangerous foul. Rescinding it would be even worse!

@agbnufc_ the worst part is it’s not even the fans fault but they’re getting a lot of stick. i think it would’ve gone over a lot better if the red card would’ve been rescinded rather than suspended. I really don’t think it was a red

@henrywinter Can't Trump 'fix' the weather?

Team arrivals put "on hold" here at the Azteca. Weather. #MEXENG

@FabrizioRomano @MelissaMOrtiz Trump and Fifa have ruined the World Cup. It's all about the $$$$$$$.

🚨🇺🇸 Folarin Balogun will be eligible to face Belgium, after FIFA opted to hand him a suspended one-game ban under Article 27. The red card stands, but he’s free to play — as @MelissaMOrtiz reported.
