That carry on from Harry Kane is everything that's wrong with modern football. He genuinely expected to get the penalty too, horrible fucker

Yankee go home

[The New York Times @nytimes]

From @TheAthleticFC: Penalty shootouts are brutal. Is there a better way to settle tied games? A fairer way? A more fitting test of skills?

We asked our writers and this is what they think the World Cup can steal from other sports: https://t.co/r4KfBlk4e1

It's just ridiculous the number of spots that go to continents like Asia when their countries have done so little on the pitch to earn it. If the World Cup does expand to 64, Asia shouldn't get another spot. Knowing FIFA as it is, they'll receive another 3/4 for selling TV rights

He gets to this stage and tries to box clever, making snide comments all the while. He thinks any win will do against Haiti and then picks the Brazil game to set out our most attacking team. Does he realise it’d be better to beat Haiti 3-0 and lose 5-0 to Brazil than what we did?

[JPS @JPSHFC]

It is very clear that Steve Clarke views the tournament format of best third place teams going through as a reason to be cautious, when in fact it should be the total opposite. If we go out on goal difference, the fact we’ve scored just one goal in the group stage will be why 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@KevinMcG01 @BladesBall @MuscatLoyal @scotlandscoeff1 Better than that:

• Mexico to win or draw
• South Korea to win or draw

• Germany to win or draw
• Ivory Coast to win or draw

• Egypt to win

• Spain to win

[Shutts 🇲🇽 🇨🇼 🇺🇾 🇳🇴 @Shuttsapalooza]

By far my favourite Scotland vs Brazil story is the referee saying “Good luck, may the best team win” to both captains before the game in 1982 and Graeme Souness replying “I fucking hope not”

[JPS @JPSHFC]

Is, was and likely ever will be. You should count yourselves lucky you got to enjoy football at the same time he played the game 🇦🇷

HE'S DONE IT!! ⭐🇦🇷

Lionel Messi gets his goal and becomes the outright all-time top scorer in the men's World Cup!

[JPS @JPSHFC]

Why have some of the tournament's best moments been referees announcing their decisions 😂😂😂

Decent enough (would be the losers of Qarabağ/Vestri, thankfully) 🇪🇺

[Seb Stafford-Bloor @SebSB]

That Gianni Infantino unilaterally altered the structure of football matches is deserving of so much more anger.

[Oliver Brown @oliverbrown_tel]

These ‘hydration breaks’ are fundamentally warping the World Cup. Curacao had just enjoyed perhaps the highlight so far with that equaliser against Germany and were on the attack again. Then three minutes to promote a laptop brand, and momentum is handed straight back. Wretched.
