@StanCollymore Stan explains what tangible means, then uses a metaphor lmao

FT 6-4 Forget "both teams weren't trying" bollocks. Both teams wanted a final, didn't get there and just went out and had fun without any pressure. Shows the capabilities and liabilities of both teams. Forget it being a friendly also. It's a tangible ( meaning literally something you can hold or touch) step forward for England football as they receive a medal, and medals don't come often to England players. Many athletes won Silver or Bronze and cherish it both on its own right and way post. For these players it can be the latter. We're in the rarified air of the last 2 days of competition, fact. Not, not qualifying. Not, drop out at the first hurdle. The last 2 days. We have the academy infrastructure, talent and league strength to go someday to the last day, be 100% certain of that. There are no guarantees of anything in sport. Germany gone. Italy DNQ, Brazil gone, Netherlands gone. France, man's favourites despatched comfortably by Spain. The fairweather fan will dismiss tonight, easy to do on a couch with no understanding of pro sport. Every former athlete will rightly critique England's game plan at times but none will dismiss Bronze medal as they know only 2 can better it, and 2 is closer than 22 where we've been in the past. Congratulations to the players and staff, hopefully that bit of freedom, expression, a medal will whet the appetite for more in the England shirt. England, Bronze medalists. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

@walker7698 @TurkTalksFC Yeah he probably thinks that being asked to play in a dead rubber ain't really fulfilling his world cup dream though 🤷‍♂️

@iammuppetman @TurkTalksFC I am not debating that mainoo should have got minutes. He should have absolutely got minutes. Should he be pissed off, absolutely. However after being prepared to leave Utd to save his World Cup dream he should play if asked.

Has Kobbie Mainoo fucked off on holiday??? 😂😂😂 Good lad.

@walker7698 @TurkTalksFC Mate, Tuchel played Jordan Henderson ahead of him, then Reece James too. Then, when the Argentina game was calling out for a player who can handle the ball under pressure, Tuchel decides to bring Dan Burn on. Kobbie doesn't own this clown anything lol

@TurkTalksFC Shit attitude and even shitter behaviour from Utd fans that back it. Sure Utd will benefit from it when kobbie don’t get called up for internationals but with this attitude Kobbie will also throw carrick under the bus when the going gets tough.

bunu çözersen, matematik bilgin ortalamanın üstündedir. çözebilir misin?

@joelbeya As a squad player, given Casemiro is gone and Ugarte is injured, yes. As a starter, no

Manchester United, is Tielemans really what you need at the moment… chasing Arsenal and Man City?

@samuelluckhurst This might be the stupidest tweet I've read in a long time

Radio silence from #mufc early this morning amid enquiry on Tielemans before it emerged. Drastic change of plans after missing out on prime midfield targets. A good player but sense of chaos engulfing United. Missing out on targets, a deal collapsing and moving for older target than intended. Club also denied they had agreed £48m + £2m in add-ons for Andrey Santos last week, only for it to be confirmed the following day.

@KennethBNyanzi @BBCMOTD Counter point, if Tuchel openly criticised the team, Jude is well within his right to openly defend that

@BBCMOTD Jude Bellingham, that's a very wrong answer on a National Stage. Your couch gave the comment , you do not counter comment

"Maybe he doesn't know what it's like to play in those conditions."😳 Jude Bellingham spoke openly about Thomas Tuchel being critical of England's performance against Norway.

@JacobsBen It was mistaken identity - parades was mistakenly booked because Embolo dived lol

The problem with the new ‘mistaken identity’ rule is that it sets a dangerous precedent. Breel Embolo dived, so if called on the field it’s a second yellow, but that wasn’t the decision. Yet an amendment to IFAB wording before the tournament states: “When the referee shows a yellow or red card but has clearly penalised the wrong player of either team for the offence in question; the offence itself cannot be reviewed except in the context of mistaken identity.” We saw the same with Tim Ream (originally booked for a foul) and Miguel Almiron (eventually booked for diving) in USA vs. Paraguay. In both instances, the right decision was reached when revisiting the incidents. Yet it’s massively open for debate as to whether this is actually ‘mistaken identity’, and that’s the issue. It’s just a mistake by the referees. Both got sold by a dive. They didn’t mix up players. They just made a bad call on a regular foul and wrongly handed out a yellow card. So really it’s just a rule allowing VAR to intervene on more minor on-field calls, and that’s the part a lot of people will feel uneasy about.

Senne Lammens comes on to make his #FIFAWorldCup debut! 🇧🇪

@sneaka_lyro @Inno4Chi @Trollkickoff @theebedet Yeah sorry I'm not fluent in gibberish bullshit lmao

@iammuppetman @Inno4Chi @Trollkickoff @theebedet well done in not understanding a shit of what I've said, let's continue like that!

🚨🗣️ Gary Neville on Peak Cristiano Ronaldo: “Cristiano went up to Carlos and said, ‘Carlos, too much water kills the plant.’ And I thought that was a good message to me, you know what I mean? He said it to Carlos, but it showed his mentality. From 2006 to 2009, I have never seen a player play football like that. I know people talk about George Best and Duncan Edwards, but I never saw George Best and Duncan Edwards play. I have never seen a player for three years play football like that while wearing the Manchester United shirt. I’ve never seen it. Those three years, from 2006 to 2009, were incredible winning the European Cup, multiple titles, and being part of the most successful period in Manchester United’s history. That was Cristiano Ronaldo at his absolute peak.” 🐐

@sneaka_lyro @Inno4Chi @Trollkickoff @theebedet It is a statement. From me. Its my opinion. That's what this app is about lmao wtf are you talking about lol

@iammuppetman @Inno4Chi @Trollkickoff @theebedet ok? still putting it like that in a reply like a statement... not saying that YOU think it is like that

@sneaka_lyro @Inno4Chi @Trollkickoff @theebedet I didn't claim to say it for everyone lol. The like button however has the capacity to help identify whether people agree with the statement or not 👍

@iammuppetman @Inno4Chi @Trollkickoff @theebedet entertainment is something that changes from person to person, a lot of people likes his style of play at real madrid while a lot prefers his man utd prime, it's not something you can say for everyone

@CxzCatherine Brian Johnson for sure

What lead singer did the best job replacing a band's original lead singer? 🧐🧐

@Inno4Chi @Trollkickoff @theebedet Peak United > Peak Madrid from a pure entertainment POV

@Trollkickoff @theebedet Ronaldo had 2 peaks; one at United, one at Madrid, each spanning 3 years.

@UTDMael 4-231 put riquelme in

Argentina all time best team Name a center forward who fits the missing position Very hard👽

@rocknrollofall Just saw Metallica in London twice. Very disappointed in Kirk... not playing another 32 songs (They were fucking awesome)

What guitarist is the one disappointed you the most in live concert?

@henrywinter Same phase of play and it was a foul, what do you mean "probably right decision". If they hadn't given it people would complain a blatant foul wasn't given

If VAR had gone any further back in that Egyptian move Tutankhamun would be involved. How far do you go back? Probably right decision but what a pity, what a goal that would have been. 80 yards, majestic move, precise passing, would have been one of the goals of the tournament,

@asha_shar Out of all of these Arkane makes zero sense - they a top pedigree developers currently making a Marvel game. Do Microsoft not know that people like Marvel games? They won't return to growth if they keep cutting games. Gaming seriously sucks atm

This is an important email I sent today to all employees at XBOX: Team, We are beginning the most significant restructure in XBOX history. After careful consideration, I've made the difficult decision to reduce our team by approximately 3,200 throughout FY27. This will include approximately 1,600 role eliminations today, and in addition, four studios will leave XBOX to new management. I recognize that a year-long restructuring creates additional challenges. Unfortunately, it is not possible to make all the necessary changes in a single day, and I wanted to be direct about the scale. I know this is painful. These changes will directly affect people who have poured their creativity into building XBOX. Many joined us through acquisitions, while others were recruited here, or sought us out because they loved this industry and loved XBOX. Today's decisions do not reflect their talent or dedication. Our business today is not healthy. We are operating at margins that are 3–10x lower than comparable platform and publishing businesses. We entered Gen 9 with a smaller install base and a higher cost structure. To grow, we bet on Game Pass, multi-platform, and a broader portfolio of content. While those businesses have created meaningful value, they did not grow at the pace we expected. As that happened, our core business weakened, and we added more teams, more investment, and more time, hoping for a better outcome. And now the industry is facing the most severe hardware crisis in its history. We must reset XBOX. First, we will reset our content portfolio. Since 2018, we have aggressively expanded our studio portfolio while the number of games created each month across the industry now outpaces the last ten years combined. We now find ourselves competing not only with the largest publishers, but also with smaller independent studios. It is neither possible nor desirable to own every great independent studio. We have also learned that we are not the best home for every type of studio; in a typical year, we lost 64 cents for every dollar we invested. As we reset XBOX, we will help independent creators succeed by providing open development tools and audiences to realize their vision. Compulsion Games and Double Fine Productions will return to management and transition to independent studios with their IP, catalog, and runway for their next games. Ninja Theory and Undead Labs have entered terms to join new ownership with funding to complete and grow Senua and State of Decay 3. In France, Arkane’s management is beginning required consultation with its Works Council to review potential strategic options. We are also making reductions across other units, and in some cases, shifting investment to focus on higher priority projects. These changes vary in size across Activision, Bethesda/ZeniMax, Blizzard, King, Mojang, and XBOX Game Studios. None of our first party publicly announced games or projects are being cancelled as part of these reductions. In addition, Mojang and King will now report directly to me. These two studios have increasingly become platforms and are our largest by monthly active players. They bring critical geographic, demographic, and differentiation to XBOX. Second, we will reset our platform. We know that great technology gets better when it gets simpler, not bigger. Today, in some parts of the company, work passes through as many as 14 layers of management. Our platform teams are 40% larger than they were at the start of this generation, even as our player base and playtime have declined. That complexity has slowed decisions, blurred accountability, and made it harder to deliver for players. As we reset XBOX, we will simplify. We will reduce management layers to no more than 5, and where possible, 3. We will deliver success through a flatter organization that is built around makers (individual contributors focused on building), player-coaches (leaders who remain deeply involved in the work while developing their teams), and directly responsible individuals (DRIs) who own key decisions and outcomes. And we will streamline how we work across our tools, with a cleaner code base, shared services, and 50% reduced vendor spend. Third, we are resetting how we operate. As XBOX grew our headcount, we became more fragmented. Teams, studios, and functions often operate independently, and it became harder to work towards a shared goal, make the right tradeoffs, and get things done. For the first time, we are establishing a Chief Operating Officer with end-to-end P&L responsibility across content, hardware, platform, and services. Helen Chiang has been promoted to this role and will report directly to me. Over nearly two decades at XBOX, Helen has helped build some of our most important businesses, from XBOX Live to leading Mojang and the Minecraft franchise. She will bring our businesses together under one operating model, making sure we make clear investment decisions, learn from our successes and failures, and hold ourselves accountable for results. Thank you, Dave McCarthy, who is retiring after 17 years with XBOX. Dave has played a defining role in building the platform that millions of players rely on every day and has been a trusted partner through many of the biggest moments in XBOX's history. We wish him all the best. These changes are about a bigger future for XBOX, not a smaller one. The next decade of gaming will be larger, more global, and more creative than anything we've seen before. This year, we'll invest as much in XBOX as we ever have, but we'll invest with greater focus, greater discipline, and greater clarity, all in service of making XBOX where the world plays and creates. I want XBOX to be one of the few companies that entertains more than a billion people each day and gives everyone the opportunity to create and connect. I know we can achieve this goal. XBOX has many of the most beloved franchises in entertainment history, talented studios around the world, and we will return to growth in 2027. History is full of companies that mistake longevity for inevitability. We will not be one of them. Asha
