After so much drama, tension, agginess, was quite refreshing watching the freedom of that tonight. I also really liked the friendliness post game, all felt very cathartic for all involved. it felt kinda Olympian. and I kinda like that feeling sometimes too

Why is rice still out there, he’s gone?

As if people were saying this game should be scrapped

can’t be far off the level Toney is used to , this

This is a nice way to say goodbye to Tuchel

Petty part of me is very enjoying this rugby

Timestalker. Good golly

Ahead of the 3rd place play off match today, which I have effectively renamed Les Wesh vs The Innits, another plug for my piece for @lrb.co.uk on the conditionality of identity in England (also a sore topic in France!) www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2026/ju...

This nails it

Bluesky! We're looking for new writers - particularly (though not exclusively) young or early-career journalists we can help develop, support and platform. And pay real money, of course. Help us in our search for sharing this, or apply yourself (but please read the guidance first!). Thank you 🫶

Has Tuchel been sacked yet?

we better give loadsa love to Kobbie when he’s back. Kid really deserves it

The chat about where England went out in the tournament and that being *the* indicator of success so daft you saying England getting knocked out to *that* Brazil team in 2002 was worse than getting knocked out to Croatia in 2018 because it was a QF?

Still can't believe Argentina were able to overcome the western European understanding of geometry

Just wanna gobble allll the content this morn

I do feel sad for some of the lads tbh, very likeable bunch. also feel sad cause Argentina just not a v likeable bunch. and that tomorrow‘s headline are all gonna be about him being german. just a bit down really, didn’t think I cared

Might turn on the Champions League for the second half

Viktor Orbán there ffs

Beautifully respected national anthems x

Yip

Don’t see England beating either of these boys

what we’re seeing makes perfect sense but I’m still shocked that it’s panned out this way

maybe Deschamps should’ve gone with that third CM afterall

Csányi Sándor on screen there for some reason. Director's celeb watch getting desperate now

Think this is the perfect take yano

I like him, but I dunno what to think of £35m for a 29 year old whose game relies on his engine

Same with all the players at the World Cup too including Schjelderup last night. Sometimes the odd indirect comment, more often than not zero mention

Fair play to Norway for getting this far but they’re really not a good side

Matterface throwing that wonderwall comment in after *this* comms performance deserves instant sacking

This game gonna lure us close enough to Argentina - Swiss to think staying up is gonna be a good idea

getting the feeling Tuchel would bring Trafford on in CM before Mainoo

Tryna remove my United bias, but I don’t see how James can be viewed as a more effective CM than Mainoo

Hunger games stuff this

This nations championships is good fun, but if they change it up to allow the travelling teams two weeks between games and make sure the likes of Fiji and Japan actually host home games, it’ll be wicked. first iteration gonna have teething probs i guess

All Norway tonight aren’t we 🇳🇴

Oh Senne :(

I do enjoy watching the national anthems but they are v silly things

What I really find helpful about pollen forecasts is just how similar each one is

This lad played in the Europa League with Ferencvaros today. Fully mad

Thought Morocco might be one of teams France might really struggle with. Been awful

That’s so unlike Maz

Fair play to S1

just watched that full 90 minutes and have already forgotten everything that happened

v much here for the Bill Gates Windows 95 launch energy from Tuchel

Ah man, the US providing the most glorious of hate watches this morning. Beautiful. God bless America

Champions League back tomorrow, baby! I know of at least two clubs playing tomorrow - Shamrock Rovers and Gyor - who had players playing in the last 16 of the WC just a few days ago. Football never sleeps

This is the weirdest day in Bsky history
