With a bit of time to think on it. It's true that England went ultra defensive before the subs, which is a cultural issue I think this team has and pre-exists Tuchel However, his changes meant they doubled down on an approach that wasn't working, hence why I think he deserves the blame

Fair play to Ken Early for spotting the warning signs with England after the Croatia game. Eagerly anticipating the @secondcaptains.bsky.social reaction

I have never seen a more perfect example of How Not To Defend A Lead

England lose by one. Rode their luck one too many times when they have such a talented group of players

Tuchel has had a disaster of a tournament. Reaction from here will be fascinating

I'm starting to think Dan Burn isn't very good

I did a workshop recently with a group of young people experiencing homelessness, & some of the kids were in that same group when I did workshops with them last year. A year of homelessness is a childhood destroyed. And our leaders talk about how things are improving, it's rotten.

It’s very obvious that the Taoiseach, despite an army of advisors and PR gurus, cannot stand women who seek to hold him to account. He has a particular dislike of Holly Cairns, who clearly gets under his skin. It’s baffling why he isn’t called out on this more.

Well the good news for us all is that Rabiot's World Cup career is finally over. Good riddance

Spain most play like a good club team in the sense that good club teams can buy quality technical players and most countries can't produce a full XI of quality technical players, except Spain

Every time I see Digne kicking Lamal I swear it's even later than I think it's gonna be

So far this morning, I have seen people post about Sam Neil helping the environment, loving animals, respecting women, honoring aboriginal people, assisting struggling actors, and being funny. It turns out if you are a good person you are remembered fondly.

Will never forgive Sinner if he loses this

Let's not pretend France are this beloved country just to feel good about being from England. They both suck!

England have an unbelievable knack for winning every game by one goal

welcome back sweet prince

every time a stutter step penalty is saved an angel gets its wings

Watching somebody do a stupid stuttery run-up and then miss a dogshit penalty is so profoundly satisfying

Another victory for the death of the stutter step penalty

For the life of me I will never understand the logic behind legislation like this - first time, you deserve a health-centred approach, but the second you're treated like a criminal? You either treat drug use primarily as a health issue, or you don't - you can't ride the two horses at once.

if Subway Takes wins an emmy it will really challenge my long-held belief that it's impossible to lose any more respect for the emmys

Six European teams out of eight in the quarters. And some people think there should be fewer from UEFA at this thing

Whoever decided that every single game at this World Cup should use the one playlist is a criminal. And that's ignoring that the choice of songs has been awful

maybe 15 minutes into Tenet, a character basically turns to the camera and says “don’t bother trying to understand this.” i find that Tenet haters tend to be people who did not heed this advice

Tenet isn't my favourite Nolan, but I'm always glad to see it getting props. A misunderstood film

I won't lie, Argentina/Colombia is a game I've been looking forward to

That's an unreal cross from Lautaro Martinez

Turned this game on moments before Romero's goal. Wow

It's delusional to come away from this World Cup thinking the US are very talented but they just played badly. They lost 4-1 to a crap Belgium team. If they were good, they would play better

Like clockwork. Even funnier this time that being hosts didn't help them advance further at all

Would be really funny if Portugal win in 2030

I hope Bruno Fernandes keeps himself together for 2030. We are destined to never see him play in a great team otherwise

Roberto Martinez is a war criminal

Games press spent years essentially doing free advertising/cheerleading for Xbox Game Pass, a deal that was obviously too good to be true and unsustainable as a business Absolutely none of them will reckon with that as Microsoft lay off a few thousand more employees

Normalise headlines that accurately handle the absurdity of public statements.

The poster’s disease Friends, it’s ok not to know about everything. It’s even ok to keep your opinions to yourself if you don’t!

Far right influencer Michael McCarthy knowingly and willfully uses his public platform to incite abuse and harrassment against others, and even to silence a journalist. I can prove it because I’m the journalist he silenced, and I kept screenshots of our messages. leftinthelurch.net/2026/07/06/i...

Ancelotti's subs made Brazil so much worse

Better! Grande, Charles

Paraguay were so dirty they got me cheering on France. France!

Going to need Dimitrov to win Wimbledon to restore some faith in the one handed backhand

Better.

If there's a better game at this World Cup than that then we've done well

Argentina have actually been really good in this game and I'll be glad to see them go through if they see this out 🤷‍♂️

A real "I don't think about you at all" moment with US fans wondering how hated they'd be if they won

Damn, Leclerc is just so slow atm. Painful to watch

The reaction to any major VAR decision tells you all you need to know about it. People are just frustrated a call went against the team they want to win, and there's nobody else to get mad at Subjective calls are tough to swallow, but offside really is one people should be able to live with by now

25 June 2016: the worst knockout game I think I've watched in the whole of my life. Portugal/Croatia. Well, what do we have here this evening? Oh. Oh no
