📝It's been a little while since I've written anything, but getting back into the swing of things with the original ECW One Night Stand was a lot of fun. As well as the show itself, I looked at how the event came to be & the political infighting behind the scenes.

I will now be standing shoulder to shoulder with my Spanish brothers until Sunday night

@TheAthleticFC Can't wait to see what FIFA don't do about this

[James Holder @JamesHolder89]

There isn't a single great coach in the history of the game who would have allowed a collapse like that. That's the difference. Tuchel admitted England lost control and did nothing to fix it, only ensuring the team stepped further back

[Rob Burley @RobBurl]

I was ready to believe the hype about Tuchel but I’ve never seem a more needless and cowardly surrender when wining 1-0 in the second biggest fixture in world football. Total surrender, give messi half an hour to cross the ball in. Suicidal. The coach let the players down.

[James Holder @JamesHolder89]

Hate this line from the pundits that England lost to a better team. On the night, we absolutely did not lose to the better team

[James Holder @JamesHolder89]

Rooney is doing everything he can not to launch that desk off the gantry. He's raging

[UtdArena @UtdArena]

Wayne Rooney: "When you're asking Argentina to come onto you, asking Messi to come onto you, you're asking for trouble."

[James Holder @JamesHolder89]

@tosinmm_ Of all the teams to do that against as well. With the history, the rivalry, and how dirty they were throughout. I'm gutted. Properly gutted

[James Holder @JamesHolder89]

The most frustrating part of this is that the game was so winnable. This wasn't England trying to raise their level to compete, we were right there. The game was there for the taking

[James Holder @JamesHolder89]

I don't want to see Tuchel in the England dugout again. Totally bottled it

[James Holder @JamesHolder89]

Played nearly perfectly for 55 minutes, then totally abandoned what worked and let Argentina have control. Anyone with eyes saw this coming

[James Holder @JamesHolder89]

We're going to lose this and it's going to be down to Tuchel's and the team's complete surrender since scoring

[James Holder @JamesHolder89]

@_Zeets Desperately need to push back up the park. We can't afford to just sit in, eventually they'll pick the right pass

[James Holder @JamesHolder89]

This time. Surely? Come on England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[James Holder @JamesHolder89]

If nothing else I want to see them play without fear. Emjoy it. Embrace it. There's nothing to be scared of, straight into them

[England @England]

Ready for Argentina! 👊

[James Holder @JamesHolder89]

England vs Argentina in just a few hours and this pops up on my feed. I feel like I could run through a fucking wall

"Eye of the Tiger" was written specifically for the 1982 film Rocky III after Queen declined to let the producers use "Another One Bites the Dust." The motivational rock anthem spent six weeks at #1 on the US Billboard Hot 100, reached #1 on the UK Singles Chart, and became Survivor's biggest hit.

The song was composed in just a few days after Sylvester Stallone showed the band an early cut of the film. Stallone was so impressed by the demo that he used it in Rocky III before the final studio version had even been recorded.

Every Brit knows as soon as 'sunshine' gets dropped it's kicking off

[Dan @Youngy54]

You especially knew he meant business if he dropped a ‘sunshine’ on someone.

[James Holder @JamesHolder89]

@robpursey The idea that the England team are somehow FIFA's favourite sons is one of the funniest conspiracy theory to come out of the last week

[James Holder @JamesHolder89]

I don't think I'll ever get bored of watching Dan Burn smash that header away before stepping over the Norwegian player on the deck. If there's one moment that symbolises the mentality of this team, that was it

[James Holder @JamesHolder89]

The idea that England have somehow been picked as part of a FIFA-wide conspiracy to advance in a World Cup is genuinely hilarious

[James Holder @JamesHolder89]

Do we have a plan if it comes home? Just wondering, like
