@thequentinletts @simonmontefiore It’s not terrible, but I fear it says more about you than it does about him. He also received really good reviews in the West End recently for an Ayckbourn. But it rather seems you’ve lost interest in the culture you used to critique. Or was the interest ever truly there?

Wow!

You see, I think that third place play off may be more important for England than we realise. Yes, it wasn’t 100%, but they know what it feels like to beat France now. And more importantly, what it feels like to play relaxed, passing football in front of 70,000 people.

The camp, the shithousery, the self-commiseration, the violence. Argentina are very Trump.

Dejadme decir una cosa sobre Argentina

Se han convertido en el villano de película perfecto, en el mundo anglosajón y en otras culturas. Y yo lo que veo es una nación que, sobre el campo, hace todo lo posible por ganar. De hecho, defendieron de maravilla contra España, ya fuera cuando se presentaron uno contra uno, o cuando se atrincheraron en su área. Pero no les dimos el balón, con lo que no nos pudieron atacar o crear las condiciones necesarias para que Messi destacara.

Llegar a la final del mundial con un equipo que no era el mejor tiene un mérito enorme, aunque a menudo se acentuaron las características menos atractivas de una selección que tiene mil registros para ganar. Es una selección ganadora, y hay mucho de envidia en la reacción internacional.

Pero me da la impresión de que en Argentina el fútbol se vive como una sola posibilidad: victoria. La derrota es culpa de alguien (como se dice en la canción, os robaron la del 90). Victoria o desastre.

Y eso explica (pero nunca debería justificar) el comportamiento de algunos jugadores argentinos al final del partido. 

Tampoco estuvo bien darle la espalda al campeón. Por lo que vi, solo Messi se giró a ver cómo levantaban la copa. En el deporte hay que respetar la derrota (usarla para crecer), pero entiendo que debe ser difícil tener la pasión que se siente por la selección y seguir todos los códigos del deporte al considerar la victoria mucho más que un triunfo deportivo.

De nuevo, yo me quedo con el faro que es Messi que suele dar siempre la pista buena de cómo se un gran deportista.

…Today is a day I never wanted to see. I am absolutely heartbroken to hear of the passing of Kevin Keegan. Kevin wasn’t just a football manager to me—he was the man who introduced me to the Premier League and made me fall in love with the beautiful city of Newcastle…

Argentina's most recent shot was Lautaro's goal against England. Feel a bit sad now

American chocolate gets a bad name, but this third place medal tastes rather good.

[rufus jones @rufusjones1]

Hilarious. England and France have accidentally created a game that they now absolutely MUST win.

This has been a Tuchel tactical masterclass. Take us home, Thomas! 👊👊👊👊

@OfSelina @keithd001 Don’t worry about it. Consistency in football is vastly overrated. It’s irrational, chaotic, hypocritical. It’s loves. And I think he gets it.

[rufus jones @rufusjones1]

@OfSelina @keithd001 His position is quite smart and consistent. As a fan, you have every right to love your team, and hate them. To think they’re brilliant, and think they’re shit. Often within seconds of each other. Football is chaos, on the pitch and off it. He’s a fan, not an analyst.
