This is desperate stuff. Compare ANY major US city with London and the London homicide rate is far lower. Indeed compare London — a global city state of almost 10m — with somewhere like sleepy, safe Burlington, Vermont (pop 45,000, which means it’s not really a sensible comparison) and the Burlington murder rate is still TWICE London!! So stop spreading drivel.

El Momento exacto donde el Mundo abrió los ojos 👀 y se dieron cuenta de que a Messi y Argentina los ayudan y son unos tramposos….

Era el mejor gol del Mundial

[Nick Timothy MP @NJ_Timothy]

Lord Hermer is gone.

Good riddance to a man who hounded British soldiers in court and refused to apologise for it.

He took the side of foreign terrorists over our veterans.

It's utterly damning that Labour ever thought he was fit to be Attorney General.

England will be remembered for the legendary victory against Mexico at the Azteca, and the best game of the competition against France.

Spain will be remembered for winning the competition.

Argentina will be remembered for being violent unsportsmanlike cheats.

[Sir Geoff Hurst @TheGeoffHurst]

Argentina did their best to kick us off the pitch in 66 when we beat them 1-0. Nothing changes and i am so glad Spain beat them. Any other result would have been a travesty. Rodri superb & cuccagna outstanding .

Bridget Phillipson is the worst Education Secretary the country has ever known.

HALF A MILLION POUNDS!!! 🤯

[Piers Morgan @piersmorgan]

Disgusting behaviour by the Argentinians at the end, especially Paredes.
Just a bunch of nasty violent thugs, and a disgrace to football. Never been so happy to see a team lose.

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

1. Transfer the tens of billions earmarked for net zero to defence and supply chain resilience, to create a major industrial/defence sector, thereby creating skilled jobs in UK, rather than China (as net zero does)
2. Radical tough love welfare reform to get 1m people of working age into work, thereby cutting the welfare bill and increasing the tax base. Coupled with massive expansion of German-class STEM skill apprenticeships.
3. Radical reform of planning laws to stop nimbys/greens from thwarting every major infrastructure development. Put judges/courts in their place when it comes to such matters.
4. Put rocket boosters under high-speed rail link between Leeds-Manchester-Liverpool. Brook no opposition/delay.
5. Unleash North Sea oil/gas + slash energy bills by removing all green levies. New breed of gas-fired and smaller nuke generating stations.
Much more to suggest. But this should be good for starters.

[Chris Rose @ArchRose90]

Well done Spain. I’m absolutely thrilled that the dirty, cheating Argentinians lost. They were despicable. 🇪🇸

[Eugene @UTDEugeneee]

After the game it was all smiles and happiness on the part of the players from the opposing teams.Never seen a post game interaction between players from opposing teams like this before.

Football brings all of us together ❤️❤️❤️

[RUTH 🇨🇦 @it_Rutie]

France and England players united in prayer after the final whistle. 🥹❤️

[Katharine Birbalsingh @Miss_Snuffy]

Why do so many people listen to Alastair Campbell’s politics podcast when he clearly has no idea about anything?

Why?

The answer is simple: culture and schools matter.

Every one of us has been to school.

Campbell fits the narrative taught at school and we seek it as adults.

🚨 FIFA has Allowed the Argentine National team to use the "Argentine Malvinas" banner in the World Cup final.

FIFA's own rules prohibits players from displaying political banners. Morata and Rodri Were BANNED because of the Same Rule

Different Rules for Argentina & Messi ?🤯

[W @_common_W_]

Argentina are the only team out of all 48 participants not to have a single VAR intervention against them, despite committing the most fouls in the tournament. Do you even realize how insane that is?

Tweet of the Morning

[Arielipillo @arielipillo]

🚨 En 2012, la FIFA SUSPENDIÓ POR DOS PARTIDOS al jugador surcoreano Park Jong-woo por mostrar un cartel que decía “Dokdo es nuestro territorio” tras ganarle a Japón.

Usando el mismo criterio, la FIFA debe SANCIONAR a los jugadores argentinos.

[Lord Sugar @Lord_Sugar]

Is there a chance if FIFA watched this they would disqualify Argentina for cheating or have a replay with another referee

[Furiosa @Furiosa24]

Be a Jude.

Not a Messi.

🚨Thomas Tuchel on England’s World Cup semi-final defeat to Argentina.

🗣️ “I have to say it because everyone watched the same match. The referee and VAR completely lost control of this game. In a World Cup semi-final, mistakes like these are unacceptable. You work four years for moments like this, and then crucial decisions are handled with unbelievable incompetence.”

“The challenge on Anderson? How is that not given? The offside decisions? The fouls ignored? VAR had every angle, every replay, every opportunity to correct obvious errors and they still failed. If technology cannot get the biggest decisions right on the biggest stage, then what exactly is it there for?”

“I don’t want excuses because England also made mistakes, but don’t ask me to stay silent when my players are denied fair decisions. We are told to respect referees, yet who takes responsibility when they get it completely wrong? Nobody. They apologise after the tournament while our dream is already over.”

“This is a World Cup semi-final, not a training match. The standards should be the highest in football, yet tonight they were nowhere near good enough. One bad decision can change history, and England were forced to play against both Argentina and a refereeing performance that simply wasn’t at the required level.”

“Argentina are a fantastic team and they punished our mistakes, but I refuse to pretend the officiating had no impact. It did. The referee and VAR created controversy from the first whistle until the last, and that should embarrass everyone responsible.”

“England leave with heartbreak. Not only because we failed to reach the final, but because every player will always wonder what might have happened if the biggest match of their lives had been officiated properly. That is impossible to accept.”
