Bellingham giving the penalty up to Saka for his hat-trick, despite Jude needing just one goal to break the record goals scored by an Englishman at a World Cup. Our future captain 👏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Djed Spence’s World Cup will have made many people, myself included, reassess their thoughts on him. He’s been fantastic - and, to be fair, a decision Tuchel deserves credit for #FRAENG

Considering it was a ‘nothing game’ a remarkable number of people seem to have an opinion on it…

Great game. England: 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 3rd best team in the world. Scotland: knocked out before, er, a knockout stage. Wales: Failed to qualify 114 days ago. Ireland: Failed to qualify last 24 years. Enjoyed the turbo-posting with your flags of different nations though😂😂😂😉 ❤️ ❤️😘💋xxxx

Social care is an example of where we need more *centralisation*, not devolution. Councils are currently overwhelmed by the responsibility of providing adult and children's social care. It dominates their budgets. Just as we did with healthcare under Attlee, take this policy out of local control. Nationalise the care homes and create a national care service.
Paul Brand@PaulBrandITV

Burnham’s promise to ‘expend quite a lot of political capital’ on social care will raise hopes that have been repeatedly dashed before in recent years. Theresa May’s botched ‘dementia tax’, Boris Johnson’s pledge to ‘fix’ social care, Matt Hancock promising to give it parity with the NHS, Labour’s 2024 manifesto which ended up offering glacial change. The sector told me during Covid-19 that perhaps its value had finally been recognised. Six years on… no major reform has come.

🚨🎙️| David Beckham on England vs Argentina: “If I’m being brutally honest, this is probably the end of England’s World Cup journey. Argentina are playing with a different level of confidence, and when Lionel Messi is in this kind of form, he changes everything. You can prepare all week, but the moment he gets half a yard, the game belongs to him.” “England have quality players, but I don’t see anyone in this squad who can truly stop Messi over 90 minutes. You don’t mark him out of a match you just hope he has an off day. That’s the reality.” “People will call this disrespectful, but it’s not. It’s admiration. Messi has done this against the biggest teams for nearly two decades. If England give him space even once, they’ll pay for it.” “I want England to prove me wrong because they’re my country, but if Argentina play anywhere near their best, I think they’re going to the final. Messi doesn’t need five chances he only needs one.” “This could be another one of those nights people remember for years.”
