WHAT A MATCH. ARGENTINA ADVANCES TO THE #FIFAWORLDCUP QUARTER-FINAL IN DRAMATIC FASHION! 🇦🇷

In football, there’s always talk of moments swings and moments, pieces of magic that lead to turning points. Argentina are still alive at the World Cup. Now they must feel they can do anything. #ARGEGY | #FIFAWorldCup

ENZO COMPLETES THE ARGENTINA COMEBACK 🫨🇦🇷

Have a feeling it all kicks off here at the end… #ARGEGY | #FIFAWorldCup

Holy fuck. There are simply no words. Argentina have done the unthinkable. #ARGEGY | #FIFAWorldCup

Brick wall stuff that from Paredes. Absolutely incredible. World class defending. #ARGEGY | #FIFAWorldCup

Been cheering on Argentina for the last ten minutes and just remembered I have Egypt in the sweepstake. #ARGEGY | #FIFAWorldCup

Messi trying to resurrect Argentina. He is risen. 🇦🇷

LIONEL MESSI! IT’S ABSOLUTELY SUBLIME! #ARGEGY | #FIFAWorldCup

It’s all getting very, very tasty this isn’t it? #ARGEGY | #FIFAWorldCup

Now this time, Argentina really are on the brink. It would take something very special from here to comeback from this. #ARGEGY | #FIFAWorldCup

Correct decision plain and simple. #ARGEGY | #FIFAWorldCup

A better footballer overall I reckon #NUFC

If Messi had any humility at all he would’ve offered that penalty to someone else.

Messi shouldn’t be anywhere near penalties. Ridiculous that he’s allowed to take them considering his record. Huge moment for Egypt. #ARGEGY | #FIFAWorldCup

That’s a silly foul by Hassan. Tagliafico has still got a bit to do, it’s not nailed on he’s going to score. #ARGEGY | #FIFAWorldCup

That was a pharaoh header #ArgEgy

It’s absolute classer from Yasser. Egypt ahead against Argentina. #ARGEGY | #FIFAWorldCup

Can anyone tell me why anyone continues to employ Roberto Martinez as a manager? He’s been stealing a living for years. #PORESP | #FIFAWorldCup

MIKEL MERINO GIVES SPAIN A LATE LEAD

Well that is that. Former #NUFC man Mikel Merino has surely put Spain into the quarter-finals and saved the world’s public from having to watch another thirty minutes of this absolute snooze fest. #PORESP | #FIFAWorldCup

This has been a truly awful second half. Spain have more than enough quality to go on and win this but have created little to nothing. At times they almost look fearful of going forward. Portugal look more than content to sit back. #PORESP | #FIFAWorldCup

Delighted to have my hotel in Berlin booked ahead of Dynamo’s match against Hannover 96 in March. Would love to meet any other Dynamo fans from Bluesky on matchday. @adams6673.bsky.social, @brazikowski.eurosky.social, @herthaner4ever59.bsky.social @christin79.bsky.social #SGD1953 | #2Bundesliga

For the moment, posts will go out manually until there’s a technical solution that doesn’t involve posts behind a few hours behind. A big thank you to everyone who has followed @dynamodresden.bsky.social so far. #SGD1953 | #2Bundesliga

How are the BBC commentary team mispronouncing Bruno Fernandes name? He plays in the Premier League. They watch him every fucking week! #PORESP | #FIFAWorldCup

Two decent stops there from Costa. Spain look far the better side going forward. #PORESP | #FIFAWorldCup

Shocking miss. Not even close. #PORESP

That’s a shocking miss from Mikel Oyarzabal. #PORESP | #FIFAWorldCup

A team that hasn’t conceded vs the team with the best midfield in the tournament… on paper at least. Famous last words but I actually think Spain win this comfortably. #PORESP | #FIFAWorldCup

Those of us who’ve followed football for literally decades, over 6 decades in my case, know exactly what FIFA’s rules are. We also know FIFA had specifically told participating countries that red cards at the WC would be absolute with no means of appeal. Which is exactly why there's such a furore.

Anyone and I mean anyone who tries and defends FIFA doesn’t care one jot about sporting integrity. Absolute word salad.

In the entire history of the #FIFAWorldCup there’s never been three players who have scored seven goals in the same tournament. Mbappé managed 8 and Lionel Messi 7 at Qatar 2022. Even to replicate that you’d have to go back to Mexico 1970 with Gerd Müller (10) and Jairzinho (7). Unprecedented.

There’s some weird romanticism people have with Brazil. People think Pele, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho. This lot are nowhere near those levels and haven’t been for years. #BRANOR

Brilliant from Norway but yet again it’s another massively disappointing World Cup for Brazil. Just like Germany, their fall from grace in these last ten years has been utterly spectacular. #BRANOR | #FIFAWorldCup

Statement from Belgian FA.

This is blatant corruption. Belgium well within their right to refuse to play.

What we're witnessing, with this just another in a burgeoning list of examples, is football's governing body and its leader quite simply doing whatever they please, adjusting rules as they fancy, no matter the impact on the integrity of the sport. A scandal in front of our eyes

Really there’s an opportunity to be very eloquent here but I’ll go for something along the lines of: this a fucking disgrace. www.bbc.com/sport/footba... #FIFAWorldCup

Now that is an athlete. #America250

Out of the 45 men who have held the role of president since the USA's foundation, about half of them trace at least one line of their family back to the island. www.bbc.com/news/article... #America250

Just finished watching it. That’s 109 minutes I’ll never get back. Absolute drivel.

Woe Canada

Cancel that. It’s all over. #CANMAR | #FIFAWorldCup

This is much better from the Canadians. Ten minutes to throw the kitchen sink at it. #CANMAR | #FIFAWorldCup

Canada have to take it up a gear. Thirty minutes left and they’re creating absolutely nothing. It’s desperately poor. #CANMAR | #FIFAWorldCup

Happy 4th of July to everyone doing the grinding work of combatting fascism. Let’s be people history will reflect on with gratitude. #America250 ❤️‍🩹🤍💙

Locked in to watch America’s 250th birthday from Belfast, Ireland. Without a doubt my favourite place to visit. Whilst it has its problems, politically & socially, I hope that for my American friends, better times are ahead. As Robert Frost said “the only way out is through.” #America250

This is disgusting.

Guess who went to bed after Argentina score their second goal? #ARGCPV | #FIFAWorldCup

Really solid save by Vozinha but Messi has hit it straight at him - very uncharacteristic. #ARGCPV | #FIFAWorldCup
