@lee_samo @joshpearson180 He’s reacted to missing match dart knowing he can’t win with his 3rd dart. He’s turned round and seen littler giving it the big one to the crowd and looked confused. GVV does nothing wrong, his reaction is genuine to thinking he’s blown his chance to win that’s it.

@waxadaid @joshpearson180 He stopped to engage with the crowd instead of throwing his last dart - it would have annoyed me. Of course littler over reacted as well. It’s possible there both wrong. Too much moaning the last few months from players about the crowd - without the crowds it’s a pub game

The incident for anyone that didn’t see it

@lee_samo @joshpearson180 He’s missed a dart at double to win the match, nothing wrong with him turning round for a second as a reaction. Littler has over reacted a lot. GVV thought he’d blown his chance to win that’s why he was gutted about it.

@joshpearson180 GVV stopped after missing double 15 as opposed to throwing his 3rd dart as normal - think that’s what annoyed Littler

So…which attacker are West Ham gonna buy this summer after a purple patch World Cup performance for a silly transfer fee then?

@Real1_balogun More needs to be said about NZ. Played 5 games against teams ranked 152+ in the world rankings and secured a place. Even South America. 60% get a World Cup place with another country have to play a playoff which could’ve seen 70% of the teams getting a place at the WC

One of those 16 slots has gone to a country that failed to win a single game during normal qualifying. There are African teams who won four games in their groups and they haven't made it to the World Cup. Burkina Faso won 6 of their 10 games, and lost only one. No World Cup. Cameroon won 5 of their 10 and lost 1, they'll be watching from home. Gabon won 8 of their 10 games. A staggering 80% of their games and they are not going to the World Cup. They lost only one. One can even argue that Madagascar are more deserving of a place in the World Cup than Sweden because they won 60% of their qualifying games. If you prune it down to the mathematics of it, the 4 semi-finalists at the last World Cup comprised 2 European countries. That's 15% of the European countries who were there — 13. Africa had one semi-finalist out of the five representatives there. That's a 20% success rate in the semis for Africa. None of both continents won the World Cup. This is what a convenient analysis looks like. And that's what you're doing. Europe has a third of the World Cup slots. There are 5 confederations sharing the other thirty-two slots but Europe believes it's not enough. You call it ‘mere’ 16 places. They say it's unfair yet everything else says otherwise. UEFA should have 24 slots while the rest of the world can share the rest? That's not ‘fair’ representation. Europe has ‘just’ 16 of 55. Africa has ‘just’ 10 (read 9+1) of its 54. None of the European countries had to travel several miles to play an intercontinental fixture. The point on home advantage lends to logic. Neutrality would have been better in their selection of venues but on those countries calling for more slots when they have one-third already, it's everything but fair.

@rgbinOmaha @crewshiesty @marknelsoncomic My apologies. It was FOX Sports. Knew it was one of this stupid American sports channels. 4 Americans in there Top26 players 🤣🤣🤣

@waxadaid @crewshiesty @marknelsoncomic You can’t get the number of players in the espn, the title of the espn list or the nationality of the writers of the athletic list accurate and you expect people to listen to your takes? How do you fuck up 3 times in a 150 character tweet?

@crewshiesty @marknelsoncomic ESPN have McKennie, Balogun & Pulisic in the top 25 players of the WC 🤣🤣 that’s why I done a pisstake about use being top 5 👏 obviously to stupid to understand a joke

@waxadaid @marknelsoncomic Not a single USMNT fan thinks we’re top 5 dickhead

@bcolgan6 @marknelsoncomic I’m not English daffy!! 🤣🤣

@waxadaid @marknelsoncomic We aren’t delusional like England fans

@janetjenkins52 @marknelsoncomic Coming from a country that calls themselves world champions in sports that happen in America you can’t make fun of anyone’s education 🤣🤣 Well seeing you took my comment serious ya stupid bastard hahahahahha

@waxadaid @marknelsoncomic What happened to make the British so stupid? Education collapse? Never recovered from the Thatcher 80's? Brain drain to New World? The cuisine?

@brad5320 @marknelsoncomic Well considering as a country you all call yourselves the “world champions” in NBA, NFL & MBA you’d probably be surprised that some may think you have a chance.

@waxadaid @marknelsoncomic You're an idiot if you think a single American thinks they have a legitimate shot of ever winning a World Cup

@MagpieMediaX Trent > All RBs Bowen > Saka, Madueke or Rashford. Welbeck > Solanke

26-man England squad for the World Cup: Pickford, Henderson, Trafford Guehi, Maguire, Konsa, Stones James, Livramento Hall, O’Reilly Anderson, Wharton, Henderson Rice, Garner, Mainoo Bellingham, Rogers, Palmer Saka, Madueke Rashford, Gordon Kane, Solanke Simple as! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

England get a piss easy qualifying group, top it, think they are favourites for the WC only to struggle against decent opposition 🤣🤣

@ScotlandSky After the last 2 euro performances. Majority of fans just want to see us go to a tournament and give it a go. Euro24 we were the worst & most boring team there was, sitting back hoping to steal a result. Then Georgia went for it and were a joy to watch.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 "We can fling bodies forward and get embarrassed. That would be a proper booing if that was the case..." John McGinn on hearing boos after Scotland's defeat to Japan, and ahead of facing Ivory Coast. Do results really matter in friendlies?

@su4eranio @OllieHolt22 Exactly 👏 someone with a bit of common sense. Saka can be added to that list. The standard of “world class” has dropped massively since the 90s, 00s & early 10s

@waxadaid @OllieHolt22 Well said. Bellingham, Foden, TAA - the darlings of the English media! I remember when players labelled “world class” were game changers….consistently!!!

If Jude Bellingham is left out of the starting line-up in the USA, Mexico and Canada this summer, it will go down as the greatest act of self-sabotage in England’s World Cup history. Column here: dailymail.co.uk/sport/football…

@7raxOK @OllieHolt22 That was 23/24 now majority of the way through 25/26… if you think he’s been as good this season than he was then then you’re the fucking idiot 👍🏻👍🏻

@waxadaid @OllieHolt22 madrid won champions league with him in his 1st season you fkin idiot

@AlphonoTimes @OllieHolt22 23/24 season. He’s not been at that level for Madrid that he was first season… if you believe that he is then you’re the fucking retard!! 👏👏👏

@waxadaid @OllieHolt22 Madrid won Champions league, la liga with him being La Liga Player of the season and UCL young player of the season at just age of 20 so kindly stfu you fucking retard.

@henrywinter Rice & Saka are overrated. Madrid perform better without Bellingham. Kane is a world class player that’s it for England. The rest have a good game every now and then.

England are not in the class of France, Argentina or Spain. But they do have some exceptional talent. Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane are world class. So is John Stones - at his best. Trent Alexander-Arnold is world class - in possession. Declan Rice is having the season of his life. There are more reasons to be positive going into this tournament than negative. But England have to be bold and play to their strengths.  Imagine if England were bold and, if all fit, went into the World Cup… Pickford; Alexander-Arnold, Stones, Guehi, O’Reilly; Anderson, Rice; Saka, Bellingham, Gordon; Kane.  Stones would have some covering to do of Alexander-Arnold when he raced upfield. Bellingham gets heavily scrutinised but he’s a big-game player, a winner and used to pressure at Real Madrid. He has to start. England also have an exceptional head coach in Thomas Tuchel who can make the right changes at the right time. England have a chance of progressing to the quarter-finals of the World Cup and then anything’s possible. But only if they are bold. Not gung-ho. But bold. Risk/reward. #ENG

@BarryAnderson_ If fans are paying money they want to see some decent football. Yes it’s just a friendly but you want to be entering a WC full of confidence after seeing something positive. Scotland were terrible today doesn’t matter if it’s a friendly or not

Agree with Steve Clarke. Disappointing hearing booing at Hampden after Scotland qualified for the World Cup to end nearly 30 yrs of failure. Poor against Japan, no excuses, but it's a friendly. Some players played who wouldn't normally. Just a bit of perspective. #TartanArmy 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
