@AaronBastani In 1996 they were outplayed in the quarter final by a Spanish side who had a goal chalked off for a non-existent offside and who were denied a clear penalty by Gascoigne on Alfonso Perez. Spain taking a few shite penalties handed England the tie.
@ChristopherHale I can’t help thinking that he is talking about either Cristiano Ronaldo or Kylian Mbappe, I perhaps even both. One day this man will say something I disagree with.
@StanCollymore Clubs in the national league like Sutton would be helped out significantly on 0.5% of the payment handed out to the club that finished bottom. We love football but hate it sometimes.
@ori_goldberg@MoSalah What a brilliant player and human being. Let’s see if he can light up the world stage next month. It would befit what’s so far been a glittering career for him to take Egypt deep in the competition.
@AaronBastani Stones has hardly played this season but gets the nod. Maguire’s been solid for United. If England are in a last sixteen stalemate, Maguire can get the team out of trouble. It is an odd one, there again Tuchel is one of the best in the business.
I became a fan of Pep when he was Barcelona’s number four. As a player, a coach and as a human being, put simply, he is a class act. For those of us from Britain whose heritage is in the Iberian Peninsula, you did us proud.
@CurtMills I was in the queue to see a game in Atlanta but cancelled. I’ve attended quite a few major football tournaments, but with this one I honestly just couldn’t be arsed.
Thomas Massie is a man of character. He is the type of Congressman our founders envisioned. I hope his constituents will see the courage, independence and sincere love of country he brings to the job. https://t.co/pT1zrYd4be via @NYTOpinion
@MichaelLCrick@ZiaYusufUK@nadhimzahawi ‘Brits’ is surely an American import. When I lived there, people would refer to themselves as ‘the British’ or ‘British people’.
@pahlavi1925@owenjonesjourno The father came to power via a coup and in World War Two was swiftly removed by the west as it was feared that he had pro-Axis sympathies. The younger and more pliant son was installed in his place.
@suttonunited@paulloughlin Given we were at one point bottom, that’s almost by definition a good season. Another benefit is that next Saturday four academy players can and probably should be in the starting line up.
