Someone has to say it.

The amount of racism directed at World Cup players - including in the England squad - on this platform is out of control.

We cannot allow a vile vocal minority to divide our nation. A lot of this content is illegal and Ofcom should be investigating.

Solidarity with every player targeted. We are united.

Saliba with a chronic back issue is benching fully fit Konate and Lacroix

A one-legged Saka got into England's team over prime Palmer and Foden

Maybe Arsenal players are just better than people want to admit 😏

🚨Yan Diomande recorded 0 shots on target throughout the World Cup. €120m!

I am still fuming that @Keir_Starmer, a sitting Labour Prime Minister, has been taken down by a bunch of opportunistic, self-serving, shortsighted Labour MPs, who are so insignificant that they had to bring in an outsider to do their dirty work.

PM: "I am proud of this chancellor for having stabilised the economy in 2 short years – this is the end of my journey not the end of anybody else's"

[Ted Smith 🇪🇺 @TedUrchin]

I still cannot believe how stupid @UKLabour has been to oust @Keir_Starmer and without even letting the rank and file a say.
It was an illegitimate power grab, months and months in the planning.
I’m certain I’m not alone in thinking this.
He had all the potential of being one of the greatest PM’s this country has ever had.
Very many foreign leaders could see it too - so why couldn’t the fuckwits on the Labour benches do so, eh?
Moreover, I can see it going very wrong for @andyburnham very soon, and very fast.
He’s not, and never will be, in Starmer’s league.

Saka 🤩

[Opta Analyst @OptaAnalyst]

Bukayo Saka has averaged 1.7 goal contributions per 90 at the 2026 World Cup so far, more than any other England player.

Should he start for the Three Lions against DR Congo in the round of 32?

[Barbara Mercer @BarbaraMercer76]

@NDows39 Exactly !

[Dows @NDows39]

Saka is so so bad that every team he faces at club or international level puts 3 or 4 players on him

He’s so bad that, despite not being even 50% fit, he’s still got 2 assists in 110 mins

He’s so bad that actual pros & managers all think he’s elite but X trolls know better 🙄

[Cal Cowen @calculus52]

So Burnham needs 10 years? Keir said that 2 years ago. That means there are 8 years left of Keir's plan, which was working and showing fruit.
Burnham now needs another 2 years for his "plan" which no one has seen.
See the madness in all of this?

Kylian Mbappé:

“Sports betting is destructive. It has ruined the lives of some people I know. That's why I refused to appear in sports betting advertisements. Many of us come from the suburbs, and it destroys the lives of countless people there.”

Marcus Rashford’s game by numbers vs. Panama:

63 touches
24 carries
9 touches in the box
6 passes into the final third
6 crosses
5 shots
4 ball recoveries
4 progressive carries

England’s best option on the left. ✅

[Robert Stephenson @robstephenson]

@Mordzs_ Rashford is a case study for the social media generation. In a quest for clicks and engagement what started out as fair criticisms of Rashford became toxic and blown out of all proportion, to the point they now define him in the mind of some coaches and many fans. #England #MUFC

[Mordzs @Mordzs_]

I feel like Rashford always gets held to a higher standard than everyone else in England. Some of these guys have constant stinkers but walk into the team regularly but Rashford has to have a 10/10 game to be compared to Anthony Gordon lol.

[Ken Chisholm @tighabhinn]

I agree with the lady who complained about BBC's coverage over Starmer's resignation. In fact I believe the obsessive focus by @BBCNews @SkyNews on Starmer's future was cheap tabloid journalism that preferred to puff up questions of personality over policy issues #BBCNewswatch

[Mukhtar @I_amMukhtar]

The man AngryGinge confronted for racially abusing the Ghanaian players is Icelandic football influencer Siggi Bond (Sigurður Gísli Bond Snorrason). He works for the gambling company @CoolbetIsland.

During the Belfast riots, he shared a tweet saying: “Belfast has woken up, the boys have had enough, and this is the end of it. You asked for this. No one wanted it, but by God, the Irish will end it.”

The Icelandic press are also reporting on it.

Chris Mason on BBC this morning defending the impartiality of the BBC re Starmer and denying any suggestion he has personally been biased or treated Starmer with contempt.

Absolutely no self awareness from a dreadful political spokesman who should be sacked. #SackChrisMason
