England had 12% possession between taking the lead and Argentina's winner. #lfc

In some respect it saves the pain of Sunday if England had progressed. Spain destroyed France’s midfield and would obliterate England’s.

Also Pickford didn't have to tip the ball over for the corner that led to the first goal It's his "desperate to be involved and be the centre" mentality that leads him to push it over. That's why he's an Everton player.

Assuming James is fit perhaps this is the best XI Tuchel could put out?

Andy Burnham hugs Hillsborough campaigner Margaret Aspinall after a landmark Hillsborough Law finally passed through the House of Commons today A moment in history

Michelle Mone owes £188m to the Government, in the last 9 months nothing has been done to collect it. If you owed £188, they would have fined you thousands of pounds and sent the bailiffs round. For the rich they do nothing.

There have been better Teams in the past in the World Cup. I don’t think there has ever been a stronger squad than this French squad.

Infantino allowed Inter Miami to play in the Club World Cup, Ronaldo not to serve his two game ban for elbowing the Irish player and now Balogun. Surely he has to be removed from office, it’s corruption. You cannot change the rules within the tournament which is now void and arguably was re Ronaldo

None of his teammates like him #ronaldo

If Balogun plays is the FIFA World Cup tournament void? You can’t change tournament rules during the tournament. Infantino is now effectively a lame duck

Assuming quansah will be available for the next game given #fifa are now suspending red card decisions.

Jürgen Klopp: "If it was actually the case that Trump and Infantino agreed with each other, then that's crazy, that calls everything into question. That's our game, not their game. These two people, who both have no idea about football, should have nothing to do with it."

The only effective response to the USA’s breathtaking corruption is for the remaining countries to walk away. Let them have their own football “World Series” where the only entrants are from the US, and the only international spectator is Infantino.

UEFA: "We express our disbelief at such an unprecedented, incomprehensible and unjustifiable decision" FIFA and Infantino's brazen corruption has made a complete mockery of the best sporting competition in the world Absolutely shamelessly pathetic

I don’t think this should be about #Trump. The real issue is that #Infantino has brought our great game into disrepute. He has diminished the office he holds and damaged football’s reputation. He should resign immediately or be removed from his position. #redcard #fifa #worldcup

Considering FIFA are trying to muscle in on club competition with their hideous CWC expansion, I’d say we’re at a crossroads for the global game. This was an easy one for UEFA to get involved in; a tap in, you might say.

When UEFA are right, things are very very wrong 🤷🏻‍♂️

Genuinely, apart from the fact that he can’t run would anyone be remotely surprised if this became reality? Allegedly he is a massive golf cheat so perhaps this is fine by him?

What happens if Balogun is selected to play tonight? If Poch has any sense he will leave him out, surely? What if Belgium refuse to play the game? Can UEFA leave FIFA? Is Trump actually sound of mind, seems increasingly erratic in all areas of life. So many questions…..

Full-size arms and he gets it

Gabriel been humbled when you can't foul players.

A poor Brazil team. Poor management to keep selecting Casemiro. Poor selection leaving Joao Pedro at home and bringing Neymar into the fold. A mess.

Neymar.. a myth of a footballer made famous by kids playing sodding FIFA. Utter wank

Odegaard is Artetatastic, hard to like. Gabriel is massively overrated and Norway deserved to go through. Berg and the Keeper absolutely outstanding

The saddest thing is anyone surprised by the corruption of FIFA and this US government? I'm not. They're both not fit for office and a reflection of everything wrong with humanity.

FIFA making the rules up as they go along. Whatever you think of the red card Balogun got, FIFA has upheld the red card but instead of a mandatory one match ban, he gets a probationary period. Following rule changes that allowed Ronaldo to swerve ban at the start of the tournament. Ridiculous.

The Balogun decision doing irreparable damage to the competition. FIFA corruption in plain sight #WorldCup

Disappointing to see Michael Oliver carry his poor officiating into the World Cup. Not letting anything go and handing out yellows like they’re candy…

… as has been said, bottles of water should be placed at the opposite side of the pitch. Go there if you need to be hydrated - and you have one minute. That’s it. Also, that’s it for this tournament. Do not want to see this bullshit Americanisation of football spread beyond this tournament.

Another good call. I hate what Arteta and PGMOL have allowed this sport to turn into at corners and set pieces.

The BBC commentary is a pleasure. Long periods of silence, actual information, no banter rubbish. As it should be. Sam Matterface take note 🤡

🇳🇴 kit looks like it’s made by Lonsdale, horrific neckline

Got away with one there, possibly even two. Deffo should have been a red for Pickford and probably a penalty to Ghana #eng #wc2026

I'm sure we've had worse goalkeepers than Jordan Pickford, but I can't imagine there's ever been one as bad as him with 80+ caps. #eng

Morgan Rogers must start

Madueke is average

Andrew Neil lives in a mansion in France that he moved to using EU rules where he doesn't pay any tax in the UK. And he spends his time moaning about the EU he chooses to live in and the poor state of the UK, which is due to tax dodgers like him.

So many things Labour are doing weren't on their Manifesto, Disability Cuts, Winter Fuel Allowance Cut, Digital ID, Social Media Ban, Massive Defence Spending... So it's strange that they can do all those things, but PR, EU, Nationalising Water etc. Are 'impossible'.

Defensively our back five are awful

Normal sized Keeper saves that. He’s dreadful, steals a living

More Giroud #glasseyesleeptime

More Giroud? Why, he’s so hard to listen to

Hydration break. 1 minute, Players drink from bottles placed in the centre circle. No coaching allowed.

this atmosphere really has a feel of "the people in the stadium are the ones who can afford it the most, not the ones who want to be there the most".

That Everton decision is mad. Especially given how City have been cheating with impunity for so long.

You’d like to think that the Somali referees fellow professionals would come out in support and say we’re not officiating if you don’t admit him into the country to do his job.

The USA is subjecting all the players from African and poor Asian countries to sniffer dogs and drug searches when they arrive in the USA and random searches at any time. All the White teams get a pass. The USA is such a racist hellhole, even worse than in the 1960s.

Southport murders. Farage ignores victims' parents. Riles up his base. Riots. Henry Nowak murder. Farage ignores victim's parents. Riles up his base. Riots. Murders by white people. Silence. If that's not a pattern of racially motivated incitement to riot, I don't know what is.
