IF Argentina qualifies for the semifinals it will be top 4 FIFA ranked teams in the semi final.

“this is pure mentality you can bottle it up and sell it” is an all-timer

Excellent interviews from both Tuchel and Bellingham.

Thomas Tuchel interview after England's win over Norway in case you missed it. He was furious it's nuts and I like it.

THE VIKINGS HAVE BEEN DEFEATED BY THE MIGHTY ENGLAND ONCE AGAIN! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Jude Bellingham is the Lionel Messi of Mikel Merinos

Don't act like you are my son now, I know you will hurt me again - Arsene Wenger to Cesc Fabregas.

And people wondered why his corners were below par in severe heat

At least 1 Arsenal player should win the World Cup (assuming Argentina or Switzerland don’t win): France Saliba Spain Merino (Raya and Zubimendi) England Rice Saka Madueke Eze Norway Odegaard COYG!

What do Morgan Rogers, Bradley Barcola, Christos Tzolis, and Bruno Guimarães all have in common? They'd all help with this.

🐐

Messi, World Cup career: 0.69 goals per 90 Merino, last two appearances: 20 goals per 90

My thoughts pre-game if Spain didn’t play Merino…

1 day without a game and I’m going through wc withdrawals

In case you missed it, here's Count Binface's appearance on the BBC this morning.

Now I wish I’d predicted 0-0 in my work World Cup league instead of 1-1…

🥱

Switzerland knockout games are always so boring. If only they could play Serbia every time…

Oh well at least Messi > Ronaldo is solidified (if it wasn’t already 4 or more years ago…)

Let’s go Egypt

How can pulling the shirt upwards cause him to fall forwards?!?!

🥰🥰

Arsenal are the Premier League club with the most goal involvements (20) at the World Cup.

It has felt like almost every game at this World Cup, someone on the pitch has been credibly accused of, or is set to stand trial for, some form of sexual assault. Football has an enormous issue and clubs and federations are letting us all down in protecting these players.

Me watching Ronaldo going out due to a Mikel Merino goal while Bernardo Silva and Rodri fight

I think we’re going to have to treat Saka like PSG with their top attacking players and save him for the big games and hope Madueke can become more consistent as Saka is barely fit and he delivers quality in a short space of time like the cross for Bellingham

I’m in absolute bits I’m so sorry if you went to bed and didn’t see this live

For those who are wondering this is Harry Kane Viagra voice.

Kane sounding like Daffy Duck right there.

Harry Kane knows this interview will be replayed the rest of his life 😂

That was an all time post match interview with Kane having no voice after singing Wonderwall 😂

wtf was Kane doing?!?!

The key question is, if England moves on, does Andy Burnham have the juice (and the rolodex) to get Quansah’s suspension thrown out.

Haikimi is a POS 👍

Trossard both arrived and is probably leaving at the right time for him and the club. Great value for money, played a big part, and leaves a space behind for the club to improve on. And I think we will.

Come on Colombia! 🇨🇴 fuck Thomas Partey

Can’t believe we’re all arguing about Berta during a World Cup after we’ve won the league…objectively if we don’t sign Gyokeres, Eze, Hincapie, Zubimendi etc we don’t win the league. You can debate about the long term utility of these players otoh Watching football > talking about transfers imo

Mikel Merino pays his respects to a real one:

never trust an anti-social socialist

Senegal had the chance to do the funniest thing when they conceded a last minute penalty…

Klopp has never won the league against City when they were neck and neck going into the run-in

HAVERTZ

Yeah Germany don’t need to bring on Musiala at half time, they need Goretzka 🤦‍♂️

MARTINELLI

The dichotomy of man

Football is ill-equipped to deal with players facing criminal charges. Confused pundits and booing crowds show the need for a clear policy for players charged with crimes. By- Jessy Parker Humphreys
