Tucked arm, entering ruck off his feat, shoulder direct to head - surely no other option 🛑
Wait….. apparently we’re ignoring these facts and blaming an Irish player for making him tuck his arm 😅

You can tell Rooney played under Ferguson the way he’s fuming here. Smell blood, kill them. Managers ultimately live and die by their decisions in such moments and Tuchel will have to win the Euros in style to not be remembered for that response to leading a semi-final.
David Beckham on Djed Spence:
🗣️ Reporter: “What has impressed you most about Djed Spence in this World Cup?”
🗣️ Beckham:
“Because he’s stopped trying to prove he belongs. Now he plays like he knows he does.
Young full-backs think football is about beating a winger every time they get the ball. Djed thinks about timing.
Watch him when he receives possession. Most full-backs see a defender closing them down. Djed sees the space behind the press… takes one positive touch… drives into it… and suddenly England are thirty yards further up the pitch.
People only notice the dribble. I notice the decision before it. That’s the difference.
He’s no longer playing like a talented full-back trying to impress people. He’s playing like someone who understands exactly what his team needs in every moment. That’s not the mindset of an inexperienced player. That’s the mindset of someone who has matured into an international footballer.”
Your Cash ISA tax free amount is going down from 20k to 12k.
Unless of course, you're over 65.
Then it stays at 20k.
Also over 65s can keep transferring non-cash ISAs into cash ISAs. You can't.
Why is everything in British politics like this?
Look at how the PSG players immediately stopped appealing the moment the referee waved it away. Only Marquinhos approached the ref, and the bench stayed calm. Zero drama.
Now contrast that with Mikel Arteta and Arsenal. When Madueke pulled down Nuno Mendes and intentionally went down looking for a soft penalty, the Arsenal players threw a collective tantrum on the pitch. Arteta rallied his entire bench, screaming at the officials for almost a minute and nearly interrupting the game.
That’s the exact brand of tactical tantrum he throws in the PL to bully weak English referees who completely lack authority.
What makes Arteta truly embarrassing is his shameless desperation. Later on, when Gyokeres’ shot got deflected for a corner, Arteta was up in the fourth official's face demanding a handball penalty. Then we saw the replay, and the ball wasn't even close to a PSG player's arm.
He’s a certified embarrassment to the beautiful game.
In a season full of really poor officiating, it actually was a good display from an official to finish it off. Took no shit and got the the right decisions constantly.

Not even in my wildest imagination could I have configured up a better example of how Spurs have been reffed this season than this being a free kick for the opposite team.
Romero LITERALLY got a red card for doing this exact thing😭
If you look purely at goals and assists, Harry Kane has 65 this season for Bayern Munich (58 goals and 7 assists). If you include internationals, Harry Kane has 70 goals and assists (63 goals and 7 assists).
The best individual season by someone not named Messi or Ronaldo.
What's not talked about enough is Harry Kane's influence in every phase of attack. Yes, he scores goals but he also created more big chances this season (27) than Dembele (14), Kvaratskhelia (11), Bakoyo Saka (15), Rayan Cherki (26), Florian Wirtz (14), Yan Diomande (17), Kenan Yildiz (21), etc.
And that will be the last ever time you’ll see a player booked for a foul in the penalty area and not concede a penalty because of it. Get rid of VAR honestly. There’s no need for it.
Sorry to get all rules police here but. On the penalty that Spurs were (yet again) not given. When Cucurella bundles Van de Ven to the ground (for which a foul was given - which in the area means penalty) the ball was in play. The rule is: the ball is in play once it is kicked..
