@JamesMelville @FansAgainstVAR_ Tuck up incoming

Argentina have an absurdly one-sided VAR record at the World Cup: zero interventions against them and the highest favourable decision rate among the semi-finalists. England have the worst VAR record of the four teams. England will be up against Argentina + VAR in the semi-final.

@cnnbrk After piss poor match … fixed it for you

Spain is on its way to the World Cup final for the first time since 2010 after a comprehensive 2-0 victory over France in the first World Cup semifinal. cnn.it/4yhA3R3

@DavidFurones_ @PIGFYNN England has hosted one World Cup in 150 years of football after originating the rules and this guy wants USA to get one evey time 😂

@PIGFYNN I’m not asking for a World Cup in America every year. Just once every four years

FIFA should just have America host every World Cup. Where else in the world do you have this many elite stadiums in cities capable of handling such an influx of foreign visitors? And it lines up with the American football offseason for easy conversion to soccer for the venues.

@Aljeeves Won’t this add 3 more weeks to the schedule or summat

The hatred for a potential expansion of the World Cup to 64 team for me seems... Odd. 64 is evidently better than 48. Having 3rd place teams progress is evidently flawed, & advantages those in later groups. 64 teams is excessive, but a choice between 48 and 64 seems clear to me.

@richardosman I can see why you came up with a show called “Pointless “

England is the only country to ever win the men's World Cup that doesn't share a land border with another country that has won a men's World Cup. Norway and Morocco are the only teams left which could join that list this year.

@InternetH0F Now do FIFA interventions each

Most World Cup Goals scored all-time: ▪️ Lionel Messi — 21 ▪️ Kylian Mbappé — 20

@henrywinter Yeah that penalty miss was awesome

Brutal on Egypt but they came up against greatness in Lionel Messi.

@archivetvmus71 You also go on the list

Remembering Philip Madoc, born this day in 1934.

@InternetH0F This (and all future World cups) is now over as a sporting event

U.S. star Folarin Balogun has been cleared by FIFA to play in the USA vs Belgium match Monday night Balogun received a Red Card against Bosnia which warranted a one-game ban

@dylanthomas91 No one even runs in ruby so 🤷‍♂️

English football fans making such a fuss about the altitude in Mexico. No comments about the English Rugby yesterday in South Africa which happens to be at a higher altitude 🤣

@opearman Also not wonany of them

Cape Verde putting a lot of other countries to shame in this tournament. In their four games so far, they have played three champions, including the reigning World, South American and European champions, and not lost any of them. Superb.

@JacksonOnRadio Learn to live with disappointment my friend

FIFA would do well today to put out a brief and simple statement saying, the USA-B&H officials did not abide by the proper VAR protocols and wrongly awarded Balogun a red card, and thus the one match suspension has been voided. Will they do it? No. But they'd be right to.

@portugamerifinn @BBCSport Defender clipped him with his knee.

@BBCSport For the folks who don't think it was a dive, this is where Kane actually started to go down, way before the GK contact you're pretending took him down

Frustration for England😡 England were left in disbelief after being denied a penalty from this challenge on Harry Kane by Lionel Mpasi.

@Cameron48916923 @BBCSport Defender clipped him with his knee. Pay attention

@BBCSport Going down before contact after kicking the floor. It’s not like Kane, but it’s a dive.

@henrywinter Targeting Really

DR Congo targeting the vulnerable right side of England’s defence, Spence in particular. What does Tuchel do at the break? Hook Spence, push Konsa right, and get the experienced Stones into c-b? Or keep the faith for now? Needs more protection from Madueke. #ENG

@LFCLaurie He’s been ok. Move on

Pickford has been England’s No 1 for almost a decade and they wonder why they don’t win anything 😭😭😭

@livv_mcfc Because Saka has a long term injury and the manager thinks Saka is talented enough to do this

Why on earth Madueke was taken to this World Cup I’ll never know 🤦‍♀️

@IanDarke How clever you are

The thought occurs that England could have selected Real Madrid’s right back, but preferred a guy who is not first pick in that position at Spurs.

@ShirtsofNeil And how big an IF can we get printed

Does anyone know who England will play next if we win against DR Congo? I can't find any mention of it anywhere...

@henrywinter Thanks for your helpful comment

Penny - or a dime - for the thoughts of Trent Alexander-Arnold. Right side of England’s defence carved open. DRC Congo lead. #ENG
