@dunnowhatidid @Chelsearory He did get sent off but wasn’t the reason it went wrong for them.

@jackarmyyyy @Chelsearory You’re right, he actually didnt get sent off.

It’s just poetry that it’s Enzo Fernandez who has let his country down. Talking about English people as cleaners, the disgraceful bus incident, that celebration, using Wonderwall after we were knocked out. Just absolutely fantastic that he is the reason it went wrong for them.

A statement signing by Swansea City. 🇳🇿🦢

@Mrjamieohara1 And?

It feels like Argentina’s World Cup final was beating England 😡

Donald Trump is something else. Don’t know whether to laugh or cry

Trump just refusing to leave when they’re lifting the trophy. Infantino desperately trying to get him to move. Circus.

@BritisherPaz49 I will because England are not in it 😊

Will anyone bother to watch Spain vs FIFA in tonight’s World Cup final?

@JamesMcLeirigh @StanCollymore Exactly that. He just spouting nonsense. Because they won third prize, we have to listen to how great they are for the next two years until they blow their chances all over again.

@StanCollymore Still hurting?? Cry more

@henrywinter 😂😂😂

ENGLISH LESSONS FROM THE 2026 WORLD CUP... RISK/REWARD. Be bold. England left the tournament with bronze medals and a skipful of regrets. The tournament was ultimately a disappointment. They wanted to reach the final, they have plenty of talent, a front six now traded for more than £600m and heaven knows what Jude Bellingham is now worth? £200m? Thomas Tuchel’s defensive response against Argentina – no outlet, no pace - cost England the golden shot of the final. Wasted opportunity to end the years of hurt. England’s defence is not strong enough to hold out – especially against elite opponents - so go on the front foot more. No pressure existed in the bronze match but imagine if Tuchel had been so attacking against Argentina, continually, including with his subs. The frustration of the underused Bukayo Saka was understandable. Boldness includes squad selection. England’s most creative right-back, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and one of their most creative midfielders in Adam Wharton ignored. So wrong by Tuchel, indicative of negativity. Tuchel lamented England’s “passive” mindset – well, he contributed to it. STARS OF THE SHOW. 1. Jude Bellingham. Wants to be James Bond one day. Scored 007 goals. For now, a real all-action hero for his country. Became the England international to score most at a finals. Constant force for England: goal against Croatia; broke deadlock against Panama; diving header then 1-2 with Kane in the Azteca; led comeback against Norway with equaliser and winner; calmed nerves with brilliant run and finish against France. Leader, creator, goalscorer. England’s next captain. Class act - consoled Mexicans after full-time. KEEP TUCHEL BUT HOLD THE PRIDE. Players like Thomas Tuchel, whatever the understandable frustrations some feel over his defensive response against Argentina. Expensive for FA to pay off, especially after naïve decision to extend contract. No obvious successor. Dan Ashworth working on trying to find/develop potential home-grown successors. For now, they have Tuchel. He’s an A-list coach who had a deeply costly aberration against Argentina, the negative subs and the failure to use Saka. He’ll surely learn from that. He’s engaging, open in press conferences, but he really needs to dial down his huge pride and acknowledge shortcomings. STARS OF THE SHOW. 2. Elliot Anderson. Tireless in midfield. £116m is a huge fee but he’ll continue to mature and add to his game. Manchester City fans will be excited. ELITE DEBT TO EFL. Look at where the stars were shaped. Morgan Rogers in West Brom’s academy, also on the field at Middlesborough, Lincoln and Blackpool. Anderson at Bristol Rovers. Harry Kane at Orient, Millwall, Norwich and Leicester. On it goes, Bellingham started out at Birmingham City before going abroad. Jordan Pickford learned at Burton, Carlisle, Bradford and Preston. Ezri Konsa started at Charlton. The Premier League (and La Liga and Bundesliga) needs the EFL. Support them. STARS OF THE SHOW. 3. Djed Spence. The pick of England defenders, just ahead of Marc Guehi and Ezri Konsa. Spence’s selection was criticised (including by me) but the full-back vindicated Tuchel’s faith, playing both left and right, getting forward exuberantly and even winning a penalty against France. INJURY-PRONE. Don’t take those with suspect injury records. Sadly, nobody was surprised when Reece James’ hamstring went and he missed three games. Ditto Tino Livramento, terrific full-back but needs a clear run of games going into a tournament (he was replaced). STARS OF THE SHOW. 4. Anthony Gordon. Two assists against DR Congo, won the pen against Mexico, assist against Norway, scored against Argentina. Removing Gordon proved one of Tuchel’s more calamitous decisions in that fateful second half in Atlanta. Performances will have excited Barcelona fans. DRAFT IN ASHLEY COLE. There is nobody on Tuchel’s staff who truly understands the emotion wrapped up in the Three Lions. Tuchel’s trusted No 2, Anthony Barry, delivered a heartfelt message about the players playing with “broken hearts” against France. Cole, an England centurion, is a highly respected coach who’s worked successfully with Lee Carsley and might bring an important dimension and perspective to England. Tuchel effectively brought Jordan Henderson in in the role. Why not Cole? STARS OF THE SHOW. 5. Harry Kane. Harry Houdini. Scorer of six goals, setter of standards on and off the field. Dropped too deep against Argentina but was simply trying to help out. FANFARE. As usual, England fans turned up in their 10s of thousands. Many were locals, ex-pats, but the many of the traditional faithful reported for duty, those who support England in qualifying, home and away, friendlies too, the Top Cappers and Block 109ers. They are there despite the costs, logistical demands, and likelihood of a long time away from home, especially with a week extra because of the warm-up games in Florida. Behaviour levels deserve relief-filled applause. Gone are the days when a section of England’s support embarrassed themselves, the team and the country. The trip to the baseball in Atlanta and adoption of Braves' Michael Harris II won them even more friends. So did their camaraderie with Mexicans during that epic trip to the Azteca. Now a credit to England. THE FUTURE. Euros are two years away. Nations League games against Spain are no time for experimentation but the Jordan Pickford succession has to be considered at some point. That means game-time for James Trafford but in a big qualifier? Pickford is 32, had the occasional moment of uncertainty in the tournament, but will still back himself to make Euro 2028 at least. The Harry Kane succession is less pressing as he will doubtless play the Euros at 34, but more worrying as there simply doesn’t appear any obvious successor. Elsewhere Rio Ngumoah and Max Dowman need more minutes in the age-groups before their inevitable immersion (Ngumoah already has a cap). England have talent present and future. They have a shot at the Euros on home soil in two years if Tuchel has truly learned from the World Cup. But England players and fans will be watching the final with an element of envy and feeling of "if only". #ENG #FIFAWorldCup

@StanCollymore And they’re still in the final 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

@piersmorgan 🤦‍♂️😂😂😂😂😂🤦‍♂️

Proud of this England team. Came within 5ms of making the Final, put up greatest performance I’ve seen from England players in those Mexico heroics, smashed the French last night, and had best finish since 1966. The criticism of them & Tuchel is overblown. We’ll win the Euros.

@Nathanswfc2004 😂😂😂😂🤦‍♂️

“England don’t beat top 10 sides in tournaments” Get that up ye

Times Square is already rocking ahead of Argentina vs. Spain 🇦🇷

@StanCollymore 🤦‍♂️😂😂😂

I don't care if we lose ( said on TS through the tournament). I just want England players in an England shirt to play with the joy, freedom and happiness they do for their club.

😂😂😂😂😂🤦‍♂️

@MarioNawfal Should have played that starting line up against Argentina. Then there would be emotions.
