(I would've subbed on #Saka after the first goal. Love him. #ENGARG)

This almost guarantees #Messi the #GoldenBoot... #WorldCup

I'm not 100% sure our "sit back in the box and let them constantly shoot while we're one goal ahead" tactic is entirely foolproof, lads.

Attack is the best form of defence against Argentina #ENGARG

Finally! Romero given a yellow #ENGARG

That didn't look like a corner...? #ENGARG

Sure are a lot of late/dodgy tackles from Argentina going unpunished #ENGARG

Yamal is *soo* overrated and Mbappé so underrated. Partly Yamal only shows potential - Mbappé has delivered on the highest stages time and again. #FRAESP

Too good: www.instagram.com/reel/Dap-kEL... #England #WorldCup

Tuchel didn't understand the question at first - he seemed to think 'mentality' was an accusation of negative mindset (- akin to 'being mental'?! 🤷🏻‍♀️), rather than a neutral category. He was effectively saying the performance was *all* heart, all character, all mentality - and not skill 🥴 #NORENG

My fave fan performance tonight #knightsoftheheatwave #NORENG

Loved #Spence and #James in extra time. Great energy winning the ball and in attack #NORENG

It's all about never ever ever ever ever giving up innit? #NORENG 👏

WHAT a clearance from #Spence #NORENG 👏

Spence has to try and own the ball so the onus isn't on him as the attacker... 🤷🏻‍♀️ Unsure - 50:50 call - tho #penalty #NORENG

I adore #Saka. He can just change up the pace of an entire team #NORENG

#Haaland will get riskily domineering as FT gets close. We of course ideally need a much bigger margin #NORENG

Make Norway run. Fast triangle passing please #NORENG

Bellinghaaaaaam! What beautiful movement in from #Saka on the right wing though too. Both are magical #NORENG #Bellingham

I would NOT put it past Haaland ro be faking that limp - all the pundits are saying a key strategy of his is giving the impression of hanging around, maybe chatting, not seeming in the game - then moves in quickly #NORENG

#Saka's having an amazing one #NORENG

I don't find #Haaland endearing. I find his physicality an excuse for him to commit fouls and then claim he can't help it cos he's just the BFG #ENGNOR

#Konsa's having a good one #NORENG

Norway are going to try and slow it down to cope with the heat. I say speed it up. Also not forcing but just curious about whether/when Dan Burn is coming on. #NORENG We know he can neutralise Haaland...

That was awful from #Haaland. Not feeling gracious now. #NORENG

Haaland shoved the guy over! Losing a good view of Haaland's sportsmanship now #NORENG

I'm such an #Mbappé fan (and have been since he burst on the scene). So beautiful to watch

In what universe is wanting all children to have good schooling "spiteful"? What's spiteful is objecting to that fundamental basic principle. #nonsensical #KemiBadenoch #BridgetPhillipson #education

Fuming at #FIFA. Quansah's one red card = single match ban, not a two match ban as has been issued. Surely there'll be protesting in the streets?! #Quansah #WorldCup #England #Infantino #Infantinoout

Goalscorers (occasionally keepers or assist deliverers) are always the ones given top ratings by pundits - when often ability to win balls back/drive upfield makes the difference. Tho not thorough enough scientifically, this method is promising: www.gradientsports.com/blog/underst... #WorldCup

Obvious opinion which needs reasserting: The verses of 'Hey Jude' are some of the most beautiful and inspiring music ever written. The 'Na na na naaa' bit at the end should have ~four repeats at most. It's ruining the song's rep.

Can't stop thinking about Declan Rice's run to set up the first goal 😍 #MEXENG

#Bellingham is only 23 🫣. Astonishing talent. #England

Even without dodgy political bending of the rules, France's yellows against Paraguay should be reviewed and #Tantashev investigated. #PARFRA was an ethics travesty. #FIFA

Coco Gauff 😍 👏 #Wimbledon

Will any of the other teams France meets engage in so much shithousery [technical term apparently]? French players need to wrap their lower legs in titanium 🫣 #PARFRA

(Loving #TheRestisFootball but leaving food out during a shoot notoriously makes the room extremely lethargic. Don't do it!)

The referee needs to go to Specsavers - one of the dirtiest and most bizarrely refereed games in years France through, but lucky to have escaped injury

Surely a penalty for that foul against Doué #PARFRA

Worst refereeing I've seen this #WorldCup #PARFRA

🚨🚨Great news: Culture Secretary Lisa #Nandy has announced she and her department are leaving Elon #Musk's #X platform explaining that " the platform "isn't healthy for our democracy or our communities and I don't want to support it". 🧵 www.bbc.com/news/article...

The #Croatia last minute attempt *was* clearly offside - whichever way you slice it, doubly so #WorldCup #PORCRO

Loving some morning #WorldCup punditry over breakfast before the day starts. Daily #TheRestisFootball a great commission by #Netflix

I cannot say this enough: if #EdMiliband is made chancellor, #Labour may as well write off the next election 🤦🏻‍♀️ Beyond disastrous from a PR perspective.

#France look exquisite. #WorldCup2026

#Rooney is a revelation as a pundit. Great insights - incl. on holding positions, esp. out wide, allowing lots of crosses in from the wing, in order to penetrate a deep defensive line. #ENGGHA

Catching up on #ENGGHA. #Saka 's ability to find ways through in impossible situations is extraordinary. He'd be man of the match for me

I just had a midnight deadline. A daddy-long-legs flew into my fridge when I went to get my final snack, then wouldn't fly out. Another large spider abseiled down ONTO ME from the light above in the final 5 minutes 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️
