@rebekkarnold I’m mostly hoping they upstage the US and become the host nation that people talk about 🤞🏻

[Matthew Staff @Staff_Editor]

Mostly, I’m just annoyed at only scoring 18/26 when Sporcle asks me to recall England’s 2026 World Cup squad in 20 years’ time 😞. Poor effort from future me.

[England @England]

It’s official. Your #ThreeLions players heading to the @FIFAWorldCup! 🏆

[Matthew Staff @Staff_Editor]

@BenRogers223 None of them are a no from me haha

[Matthew Staff @Staff_Editor]

So it will still come down to millimetre margins that will elicit errors in real time (understandably) and take time to analyse with lines that nobody trusts during the VAR process. How is nobody realising that offside is offside, however you spin it? Low blocks though, yay.

[Moby @Mobyhaque1]

Wenger’s new offside rule is approved, will be tested in 🇨🇦 Canadian Premier League April 2026. If successful will be imp globally next year

Under new rule:

📑A player will ONLY be offside if entire body has fully passed last defender.

@BenRogers223 I’m all ears 😂

I obviously hope that my old little market town’s church is okay (and, thankfully, nobody was hurt), but I am - as ever - amused by the local coverage. Strong Mick Shipman vibes from this opportunist restaurateur.

@Peety_Editor @Radford666 If it was a house that the residents had no desire to sell, then I’d expect to be quoted a higher price. Start with a lower offer just in case, but if they rejected that I certainly wouldn’t then ‘wait’ for those residents to come to me. Why would they? They never wanted to move.

[Matthew Staff @Staff_Editor]

I want to buy your house. I know you love it & it’s not on the market, but I value it at £400k?

£500k!? For a house that you own & want to keep? That’s not fair!

Fine. Just contact me when you’re ready to sell the house you don’t want to leave. £400k remember.

Hello?

@AdamP1242 Most direct replacements: Larsen or Woltemade.

More versatile option would be De Ketelaere. The right physical profile for us, yet able to play either ‘9’ or ‘10’.

[Matthew Staff @Staff_Editor]

@NebNostim In this case, making it seem outrageous that NUFC would renege on a spoken agreement all of a sudden. Why has nobody questioned why they would casually, verbally agree to letting their best player go for an unspecified fee 😂? Why would any fan believe that exchange took place?

[Matthew Staff @Staff_Editor]

If a buyer’s offer doesn’t reflect a seller’s value of any item, I don’t see why that’s ever contentious. Either the buyer meets the valuation, negotiates or finds an alternative. Truly baffled why the Isak situation has been made any more complex, nuanced or loaded than that.

Jess Carter having the tournament she’d had, receiving the abuse she did, being trusted even still, and playing like that, sums it all up. A unity, gutsiness and self belief, driven by a completely unflappable manager, that we’ve simply not had with the men’s team. Legacy secured

Sarina assessing her options for Italy tomorrow morning…

[Matthew Staff @Staff_Editor]

Absolutely huge from Lucy Bronze. Pure guts and durability while everyone else lost their nerve (and limbs) around her. Carried that team from start to finish tonight.

[Matthew Staff @Staff_Editor]

Didn’t realise how much I’ve missed just celebrating a goal until that Agyemang equaliser went in. Can always rely on the Lionesses to liven up a summer 👏 👏

[Matthew Staff @Staff_Editor]

Absolutely the most dangerous thing I could have seen mere seconds after arriving in Newcastle for the week. 💵 #adidasOriginals 🖤 🤍
