What did you make of England's World Cup exit? And should Thomas Tuchel lead England at Euro 2028?
Let us know your views....

The fans turned and now it seems some of the players have. The FA backed their man last night but this could get toxic. Will discuss 6-7pm @BBCSheffield

It’s a red card, or at the very least a yellow card.
I was surprised at the time that it went unpunished, and the decision gets worse with every viewing.
I get it was early in the game, but that shouldn’t matter when it’s an arm in the back of the head after the ball has gone.
The last thing we wanted tonight were “what ifs”.
We’ve had too many of them already.
We had a World Cup final in our grasp.
It’s hard to process.
Just once. That’s not too hard to ask.
Amani Richards deal confirmed by Barnsley, undisclosed fee from Leicester City.
Three-year deal with one-year club option for the 21-year-old forward.

6 - Spain are the first team in FIFA World Cup history to keep six clean sheets at a single edition – the xG figure they faced today against France (0.3) was the lowest by a nation in a semi-final tie in the competition since Brazil vs Sweden in 1994 (0.1).
Shutdown.
Last women's Euros final: Spain vs England
Last women's World Cup final: Spain vs England
Last men's Euros final: Spain vs England
Last men's World Cup final: Spain vs 😬
Work sweepstake in tatters. Merde.
Spain completely controlled the game tonight and will undoubtedly be favourites for the World Cup final, whoever wins tomorrow.

🅱️ Barnsley have announced the signing of Tyrese Noslin from Dutch side Telstar on a three-year deal, with an option of a further year.
The right-wing-back made a sub appearance for Curaçao at the 2026 World Cup.

For #BarnsleyFC fans asking about this, my understanding is this is an administrative update to ensure compliance with Companies House requirements regarding the PSC register. There's no change to the ownership & doesn't reflect any new investment or acquisition of shares.
Barnsley start the week with a new loan signing in goalkeeper Cieran Slicker from Ipswich Town.
The 23-year-old was Barnet’s number one stopper on loan last season, helping the Bees to finish 8th in League Two.

Home after a famous night watching England at the Abbeydale Picture House.
Feared the worst when the big outside screen failed… but thankfully that wasn’t a bad omen.
Credit to Norway but terrific character shown again by England.
World Cup semi-finalists, two wins to go.

Enjoyable trip to The Home of Football today as @sheffieldfc beat @HallamFC1860 2-0 in a competitive pre-season match to claim the Alan Cooper Memorial Trophy.
Good luck to both teams for the season ahead.
