I’ve been immensely impressed recently with how Wayne Rooney has improved as a pundit.

Very little needless hyperbole, only speaks when he has something to offer, and is very good at distancing his own feelings to offer objective criticism. Really nice to watch. 👌🏽

[Aaron Cox @Aaron_Cox89]

@Field_83 Yeah I think we may see all those on Sat!

[Aaron Cox @Aaron_Cox89]

This is an abysmal showing from Reece James. Was poor first game too. Massive issue for England.

[Aaron Cox @Aaron_Cox89]

@Field_83 I think Rashford has to play and Saka will come back in. Ghana did a job on us there. Worryingly slow.

@Ankaman616 Hart is turning into a fantastic pundit.

[The Athletic | Football @TheAthleticFC]

When sports stars become as big as Lionel Messi, it’s tempting to say they transcend the sport.

But Messi doesn’t, really. Messi isn’t a big celebrity, he’s not a big personality, he’s probably actually a bit boring.

Messi doesn’t transcend football.

He’s pure football.

It’s not just his goals… Messi’s contribution to Argentina is incredible. What he sees, the time, the space, the killer pass. He plays a different game to everyone else. Ronaldo can’t lace Messi’s boots right now. It’s not even a competition anymore.

[Aaron Cox @Aaron_Cox89]

Rooney fast becoming one of the best pundits. Modern football online fandom is all about criticising players and not enjoying them.

🚨 Wayne Rooney: “Kylian Mbappé is the CLOSEST to R9 I have ever seen.

I think we’re at danger of not appreciating him now and then we’re gonna look back and say ‘I grew up in that generation, why didn’t I appreciate it a bit more’.

In our society, instead of appreciating what’s in front of them, we’re trying to look at the negatives.

We say: ‘He didn’t do this here, he didn’t do this there’, instead of saying let’s just enjoy this GENERATIONAL talent who we’re possibly NEVER gonna see anything like him again.” @BBCSport

@MorecambeFC Do better.

[Aaron Cox @Aaron_Cox89]

@Field_83 @CraigHope_DM Such a weird take. I think that 20 mins after half time might be the best I’ve seen England play.

You can judge whether people know about football or not by their reaction to Emma Hayes.

Insanity that Guehi isn’t in this team. Shambles defensively.

[Aaron Cox @Aaron_Cox89]

@Ankaman616 As a pure footballer, he 100 per cent still is.

[Aaron Cox @Aaron_Cox89]

This pitch looks abysmal already…

[Aaron Cox @Aaron_Cox89]

I mean. He’s giving you all the evidence you need for why he hasn’t gone here.

🚨 Tino Livramento to miss World Cup with calf injury. Not serious but major blow for Newcastle United defender & #England ahead of #2026FIFAWorldCup opener vs #Croatia - 23yo returning to #NUFC + Trevoh Chalobah called up @TheAthleticFC post @Matt_Law_DT https://t.co/5aghFLEYdO

[Aaron Cox @Aaron_Cox89]

@BenMcAleer1 His passing is his weakest element of his game. Someone next to him who can play elevates his game to another level.

[Aaron Cox @Aaron_Cox89]

If they get 75 for him, it’s good business. He’s Bruno’s runner and that’s much easier to replace than Bruno. He could have done much better than Spurs though…
