These years of anti-immigration hysteria we're living through right now are going to look utterly incomprehensible in the coming era of closing schools, ageing populations and massively understaffed public services

This has not been a great hour so far.

Wayne Rooney knows it. The others are all over the place.

Bottle job from England and Tuchel I’m afraid.

Sadly that’s a gutless way to go out. Went ahead and shit themselves. Got what we deserved.

England absolutely shit themselves here. Didn’t believe they could win it and so it is.

Not closed down because we have no midfielders.

Back 6

What is Giuliano Simeone? Is he a defensive right winger?

What’s everyone so worried about? We (Arsenal fans) have been through a full season of this. They don’t listen when you tell them to push up, don’t waste your breathe.

This is just like watching Arsenal play Newcastle.

What a dreadful game of football.

I see we’re not playing yellow cards tonight.

Referee absolutely determined to let them shithouse their way through this.

Argentina seem like a decent bunch of guys

Declan will need to break both his legs before he gets a rest. He might still get a game then to be honest.

Amazing really that the Deschamps era ends because he got the balance in midfield all wrong. For so long seen as a dull but very effective coach he ends it picking 4 forwards and suffering as a result.

Is Tchouaméni actually any good?

Have to say, Olise was absolutely dreadful tonight. He’s a wonderful player, but that performance was really bad.

The French shape, which has made them pretty irresistible in the tournament, working against them tonight. Spain completely dominating the midfield. Now relying on the genius of their forward players to rescue them. Could still happen.

French missing big Bill

French midfield stinking it up. Tchouaméni and Rabiot probably both should come off and Olise has been awful (I am aware that he is not awful).

FFS. Lots of things to like about this World Cup (the football basically) but some absolute atrocities as well.

Easy. Next.

Fair to say Jude Bellingham’s decent

Rattled

Have they got the camera on the moon here?

It is a World Cup for superstars. Messi, Mbappé, Haaland, Bellingham, Mikel Merino.

If Merino and Kai had been fit we’d have won the league by 15 points

MERINOOOOOOO

Do you think Morocco might try to shift the ball up the pitch in the second half?

Terrible penalty but you can’t make someone wait 3 minutes to take the pen in the first place. VAR nonsense as always.

Nigel Farage vs "the establishment" He went to private school, worked as a stockbroker, has been a professional politician for 31 years, has his own TV show, is a brand ambassador for gold, is mates with POTUS, accepted a secret £5m gift, and owns five houses bought outright with cash What a rebel

They need to hold on to a lead so they’ve taken Romero off.

That’s heartbreaking.

Bollocks

Get in!!

Soft foul 100 yards from the goal and it’s disallowed. That’s just a massive overreach from VAR.

Madness. Soft foul 3 weeks ago and the goal is disallowed.

My 4 year old whines a lot, not as much as Farage, but a lot.

The US impressed a lot of people with the quality of their play early on in this World Cup. But now they go out battered and disgraced with the rest of the world cheering.

Gotta feel for Bernardo Silva….😂

Poor old Cristiano. Forever in the shadow of Mikel Merino.

Merinoooooooo

Brilliant performance from England. Managed it so well after the red card and penalty. A good old fashioned dig in.

Easy

If there’s anyone out there that wants to know what it’s been like watching Arsenal all year…

England playing a 5-4-0 here.

The England midfield is now Declan Rice. That boy is never getting a rest.

Never ever a penalty. Pathetic.
