What is it about Argentina that makes Argentinian footballers..?

Absolutely disgusting and infuriating to see from a tour founded on defiance and moral clarity. End of that era, end of that illusion. A betrayal of the LGBTQ+ community and women.

Man of the match: Williams. He came on, things changed. And that’s that. Entire Argentina side borderline scum and proved it after the final whistle. Only Messi leaves with some dignity.

Efucknspaña!!! 🇪🇸 🇪🇸 🇪🇸 🇪🇸

love them or loathe them, there's one thing you can't deny about the Argentinian football team: they're a bunch of cunts

So that is in fact 2-0 to Spain.

FOUL MY ARSE wait, there should have been a comma in there #WorldCup #ESPARG #ARGESP

Disgraceful 90 minutes of anti-football from Argentina.

Attempts on goal: Spain 8 Argentina 0 Only one team actually playing football.

Look, all we want is for Yamal to score seventeen goals and destroy these people. Thanks in advance.

For the love of everything good in this world PLEASE let Spain win the World Cup tonight I wanna see that orange heffalump sulk his ass all the way back to the White House

Update: Because I want people to understand this developing story as fully as possible, I've removed the paywall from this article, so all can read the whole in-depth thing in full, including the embedded PDF document of the WTA's policy document. Subscriptions still appreciated!

England invented all the sports and then has to watch as they unfailingly don’t come home. #bitterirony

Umag has a special place in my heart. I first saw Carlitos play there all those years ago. Just a kid in a singlet. And was quite clearly going to be the greatest player of his generation.

Very good news on Alcaraz's wrist: Canada was never the goal so him missing that was not important. Was also a big reaction to the slower intensity training videos he posted but its just this week he's going to be fully medically cleared.

This chap is class x

that guy really thought he was gonna do his big one today, especially after that fh to clinch the first set turns out he still isn't as good as he thinks he is

I wrote about the silence around Alexander Zverev on the BBC's TV broadcasts of Wimbledon, which has left UK viewers without the whole picture. Why do the BBC avoid this topic on television when discussing it elsewhere? Free at Bounces: www.benrothenberg.com/p/bbc-wimble...

Okay, I’m fuckn gutted. But Noskova was amazing. Absolute nails and well-deserved. Reckon the rest of the season is going to be crazy on the WTA. The top 4 looks very frail to me. Could be a big push from the kids. Especially with Vicky back in the mix…

I never liked tennis anyway.

Tennis. That’s the post.

Mooks. It’s your time. Your body has never let you take your rightful place on the throne. Today you will take it. And when you have taken it, the tour will fall to its knees as your mighty reign begins. Supreme and unchallenged. I have seen it in a vision. And it will be so.

Match was a surgical dismissal. The real pleasure was spending a couple of hours with Agassi’s gigantic tennis brain all served up in those mellow melodious tones. Heavenly.

Sinner has indisputably the best BH in the world. And the most fascinating. He’s able to get damn near the same swing power/whip with his left arm as his right. Why can’t anyone else? It’s the obvious goal with a BH and yet…

“Carlos, if you’re listening, please come back soon.” Andre Agassi.

Just to be clear: both that guy and The Deported are equally reprehensible to me. The only good outcome for a final involving both of them would be for a sinkhole to form on Centre Court and swallow them both. You won’t see a word of praise from me for either of them today or Sunday or ever.

Apart from tennis losing its brightest light the other horrific consequence of Carlitos being benched for so long is Abuserev. He giant asterisks RG and now the Wimbledon final. It’s no coincidence and it’s painful to witness. Carlitos, no presh but… COME BACK!!!

No interest in the mens SF’s. Players are either boring or offensive. I guess it would be cool if Fery took the whole thing but neither the dude nor his tennis does a bunch for me. All about Karo for me now.

Carlos Alcaraz practicing for his comeback from injury. Hopefully he’s returning soon… great signs. 💪💪💪

Fuck this guy. 'Elon Musk posted 303 times about race and immigration in the period leading up to SpaceX’s listing, almost three-quarters of which were related to UK politics. At times, Musk focused on the Nowak trial – posting up to five times in 10 minutes.' www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

I AM A WIMBLEDON WOMEN'S FINAL BRACKET PREDICTION GENIUS! (don't look at my men's bracket in which I had FAA as champ)

Maybe there are terrible skeletons in the closet but I’ve always found Tracy Austin to be pretty awesome comms.

Karolina Mutherfuckn Muchova!!!!!

With Gauff’s terrible FH taking the spotlight, Karo fights back with some atrocious serving.

Not a great serving day but everything else absolutely immaculate from Karo. Second Set…

Not really a big fan of any of the semi-finalists. Except…y’know… KAROLINA MUCHOVA POET WARRIOR QUEEN OF THE WTA!!!!!

Feel like something is missing from Wimbledon? A gigantic supernova size thing? I recommend watching Wimby’s official video of Carlitos’ best shots from his 2024 title run. Completely different species and level of tennis from any other human being. I miss him so badly it hurts.

I have just learned - with some astonishment - that Fery went to my school. This further puts my tennis skills in perspective. And not in a good way. 😂💀

Just a reminder that I don’t need to respect his achievements, athleticism, longevity any of that. I disliked him deeply before his behavior during COVID & have actively despised him since. So the press, etc.going on about how we have to appreciate him. Miss me with that. I don’t have to like anyone

Look, Felix. I can’t watch the match and I find you very frustrating but…could you? Please. Thanks in advance.

Beautiful, deadly tennis from the resident poet of the WTA. Go win the whole thing Mooks.

Only two players play tennis that truly makes my heart sing… Carlos and Karo

It’s time for me to ask the question: WHO THE FUCK IS ARTHUR FERY!?

Still thinking about Iga’s anguish. It’s not right. It’s clearly not about tennis. In a normal state of mind, Iga’s more or less the best player on the WTA. She’s not in a normal state of mind. Something needs to change and I hope she can work out what that is and find the strength to do it.

Simply way too good from Osaka. Imperious and devastating.

It’s a shame that Bublik’s a colossal twat because he’s basically a tennis genius.

Flávio does it the hard way. The very hard way. Which is his way. ✊🏻

It sucks that instead of being sad or disappointed when Iga loses, now I'm just relieved. Watching her panic on court is AGONY. Especially when she hasn't tried the obvious solution - firing her psychologist (who I strongly suspect is her romantic partner. Daria strikes me as a parasite or groomer)

Thing is about these huge upsets is that they’re not upsets.

Here’s a new horror in a world of horrors. The millions of people rocking a Daunt Books tote who’ve never been to Daunt Books.
