Aww, how sweet from Mac Allisters partner. He's a bit more to the point 😂😳 #BHAFC #translated

@BBCMOTD He's never getting sent off or booked for that. Only have to look at prior world cups to see he can more or less so what he wants.

Some viewers thought Lionel Messi should have been sent off for this 🟥 What do you think? #FifaWorldCup

@MartinKnight_ The far right have tainted the flag by utilising it to spread hatred, rather than using it to spread pride. They call themselves patriots but they're anything but and the lack of flags is a symptom of their behaviour.

What’s missing? No England flags on cars. One day before our first match little palpable excitement for the World Cup. Have we fallen out of love with football? Do we think we will be embarrassed? Are people scared to display national fervour? Are flags too expensive?

@rocketshipalx You're certainly right with one thing, "they actually execute." Five times the murder rate of Europe and school shootings treated with the same authority as someone forgetting home work. Impressive how you've merged 87 European ethnic groups into one homogeneous people and place

My thoughts after 3 months in the US/Texas🇺🇸: - Americans are way more extroverted than Europeans - Talking to strangers is normal here - My first H-E-B trip felt like Boris Yeltsin seeing an American grocery store - Some food is more artificial, but the amount of choices is insane - You can still eat healthy. You just have to choose it - High risk, high reward is real - Way more people are entrepreneurial - People dream bigger than in Europe, and they actually execute - Obv not everyone is smarter, but the smart people are world-class - Successful people here are way more down-to-earth. In Europe, successful people care about status and can be arrogant - Cars. Enough said - Americans have perfected artificial sweets - There’s still more freedom here than in Europe - One thing I didn’t expect: some Americans talk down on America - As an outsider, that’s weird, because imo it’s still the greatest country on Earth🇺🇸🇺🇸

@Eyesandvibes Being first after the 100m means little for a marathon.

I’m delusional sure, but why can’t the USMNT make a real run against this field of World Cup teams? There doesn’t seem to be a tournament favorite that has played well yet. Door is WIDE open 👀🇺🇸

@AflGlicko Symbols change. The nazi symbol was taken from a Buddhist symbol. The circle game also means white power and so on. It's important to get context, so they're talking to him 👍🏽

The circle game is a high school game in Australia where you try and bait someone into looking at this symbol on your leg. Fucking hell the world is dense.

@iwasmmueller88 Comparing USA to England is silly. Compare USA to the UK, Ireland, France, Italy, Spain, Germany and Netherlands. The population of all of them is the same as USA. Now let's talk stadiums and atmosphere.

In England the largest stadium is Wembly with 90k Then it quickly drops to 74k. America has 10 stadiums larger than Wembley. And 27 larger than Trafford And 61 larger than Tottenham. America has more 62k+ stadiums than England has over 12k. You can say “population” But on any given Saturday in November you could have: 51k @ Utah 62k @ BYU 25k @ USU 24k @ Jazz And before the MLS season shifted to summer, you could have had an additional 20k there. So 3M people in that area roughly. You could have 6% of the total population from those areas attending games. Whereas, assuming a full 10 match tilt on one day in England… would have 0.84% of the population attending. Americans man. We LOVE our teams. Probably too much 🤨

@Michaelfiore Most top European leagues could host a world cup tomorrow, without the need to change pitches. That's not unique in countries that are wealthy and football is their top sport.

One of the most incredible aspects of the World Cup in the United States is what we DIDN’T have to do to prepare for it. Qatar built multiple brand new stadiums, a metro system, roads, hotels, and entire districts. South Africa built new stadiums, parking, etc. Brazil spent billions on stadium and transit projects. Russia built and rebuilt venues across the country. Meanwhile, the U.S. was like: “We’re good.” Like, we modified the playing surface in some stadiums and that was it. The sport venue infrastructure in the US mogs every other country on earth and it’s not even close.

@anishmoonka Tottenham cannot get him for free. In 12 months he could leave for any team, and would have many from all too leagues wanting to sign him. In that example, he's not signing for a team with no European football who have been fighting relegation for two years.

Brighton paid around £2 million for a defender from a Dutch second-division club five years ago. Tottenham are now being asked to pay £70 million for him. That is a 40x return. It did not happen by accident. Jan Paul Van Hecke was playing for NAC Breda in the Dutch second division when Brighton signed him in 2020. You could fit NAC Breda's ground inside Tottenham's three times over. Nobody at Spurs was watching. Brighton sent him on loan twice, once to Heerenveen and once to Blackburn Rovers, then brought him back and turned him into one of the Premier League's best passing defenders. In 2024-25, he completed 379 progressive passes, those forward balls that cut through defensive lines, the second-highest total by any Brighton player in a Premier League season. He carries the ball forward better than 97 out of 100 centre-backs in Europe. Brighton's analysts say his profile sits closest to Marquinhos at PSG. Since becoming a starter, he's been part of 25 non-penalty Premier League goals. That ties him with Kyle Walker. Only Man City and Liverpool players rank above him. Spurs need him because they finished 17th last season. A club that reached the 2019 Champions League final survived relegation on the final day by beating Everton 1-0 while West Ham went down. Their first genuine relegation battle in 49 years. A club in that position cannot spend the summer being patient. Brighton have already rejected two bids, roughly £40 million and then £50 million. CEO Paul Barber confirmed both on talkSPORT. The price now sits around £70 million, potentially £81 million, which would make Van Hecke the fifth most expensive centre-back ever sold. Pay that and it becomes Tottenham's largest transfer in club history, past the £56 million they spent on Xavi Simons. One more number: Van Hecke's contract expires in June 2027. Tottenham could wait 12 months and sign him for free. They cannot afford that patience after nearly going down. Brighton ran this same model before: Caicedo, bought for £4 million from Ecuador and sold to Chelsea for £115 million; Cucurella, bought from Getafe for around £12 million and sold to Chelsea for £56 million; Mac Allister, bought for around £7 million and sold to Liverpool for £35 million. Find the overlooked player, develop them for a few years, sell to the club whose desperation sets the price. Whatever Spurs pay will fund whoever Brighton have already spotted at a ground a third the size of their own.

@RodinSimi Because one was injured and one failed at every chance. I really wish Chelsea fans would stop over reacting all the time, Pedro isn't going to sleep with you all

Brazil left two of their best players at home and now rely on Vin Jr.’s individual brilliance. Igor Thiago struggled so bad with less than 10 passes in 61' minutes, João Pedro fits this possession-based system better. It’s not too late for Ancelotti to admit his mistake.

@DebsSZN Think it's too wordy. He was left out because he's shit for Brazil.

One thing I’d always do is take my time to read the crap that people write while trying to justify Joao Pedro being left out of the World Cup. So, you’re telling me in essence that Joao Pedro was left out because Igor Thiago came on and scored a PENALTY?? This is one of the most retarded justifications I’ve seen on this. The good thing is that Brazil will most definitely suffer the repercussion of leaving JP out. Endrick was chosen for winning a penalty, Igor for scoring one and Neymar just for the sake of it. We’re sat, waiting for you to crashout in the RO16.

@TheAthleticFC They were poor but is everyone forgetting who they were playing? Morocco are no mugs, semi finalists last time and finalists at Afcon. That's probably the toughest game they'll have until the later rounds! Morocco were good, but after the goal didn't have a shot until injury time

Anyone who felt that Brazil were being underrated or overlooked ahead of this World Cup can probably put that opinion away now. This is a side rich in talent, especially in attack, but Carlo Ancelotti has an enormous amount of work to do if the Selecao are to reach the latter stages of this tournament, let alone win it. Their first-half performance here was genuinely appalling. They did improve in the second half. There was more intensity, more control. You could not, however, argue that they deserved more than a point from the game. Or that the genuine favourites in this World Cup should be quaking in their boots. 📝 @jacklang Brazil 1-1 Morocco Briefing — free to read: bit.ly/4ekndbl

@LFCLaurie Have you seen Pedro every single time he has played for Brazil?

The fact that Joao Pedro isn’t in this squad surely has to be one of the worst selection decisions of the whole tournament. What was Ancelotti’s logic behind that? I can’t rationalise it on any level.

@TRobinsonNewEra I really wish people would stop sponging off our country.

I'M A TERRORIST AGAIN I have been detained at Heathrow Airport today for the best part of 3 hours. I was detained under section 3 of the Counter-Terrorism and Border Security Act 2019. My phone has been seized by the police. So here we go again, looks like more defence and court fees ffs!!! Absolute fucking madness. Please help kick off my legal fund for defence here - urbanscoop.news/support-us/

@GingaBonitoHub Reckon Paquetá has some bets on a Morocco win the way he's playing!

1-0 Morocco, what a joke. Paquetá & the midfield at the crime scene.

@SwearingSport Doesn't even know he's on camera 👀

Speed’s reaction to the USA’s first goal has me absolutely crying 😭

@YankLFC17 @StanCollymore Nearly two years ago though

@StanCollymore This Paraguay team beat Argentina and Brazil in qualifiers mind you

Stewards enquiry on this Paraguay team. Take nothing away from the US but this has to be one of the most inept South American team performances ever at a World Cup. US made to look like Brazil 1970.

@CoybigC @StanCollymore Won twice at home against good opposition nearly two years ago. Four most recent games they've failed to beat Bolivia and Colombia who didn't even qualify. Chile didn't make it. Uruguay did qualify but are not good. These results show regression

@StanCollymore Back handed compliments 🤣🙈🫪

FT USA 4 Paraguay 1 Confidence boosting opener for the main hosts. First half all energy pressing, quick ball movement and dominance in posession created a lot of chances and they weren't flattered at 3-0 at all. Has to be seen in context of the opposition, who rallied a little in the second half but who were so poor in the first it's difficult to gauge how good the US performance actually was. If they do the same to Turkey then let's talk. Should despatch Australia.

@Aaron_Torres Paraguay are 41st in the world for a good reason 💩

So, soccer people: Are we good? Or Paraguay just this bad?! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

@NickTenconi 😂😂😂 what a fucking idiot.

Stand with us in Brighton this Saturday 13th June, mustering at 12pm at Brighton Train Station. We march for Henry, for Rhiannon, for Wayne and all other lives taken by migrant terrorism. No justice - No peace.

@ConnorMoorcroft Bloody hell what's the point of her commentating??? This is the problem when you get people who haven't played the game to a decent level adjudicating. Awful!!?

ITV, if this Christina Unkel is going to do nothing but agree with the referee when he is quite clearly incorrect What’s the point?
