@LateChallenge how come when a footballer gets cramp they go down, get ‘treatment’ and then can carry on playing, when i get cramp i can’t walk on it for the next 5-7 days nor run again for 2 weeks? (deadly serious question btw)

@rudkin_abigail watch out Abs, you’ll be getting all those Hungarian supports on your case again 😉😂

[Jamie Carragher @Carra23]

Losing to Argentina is more damning on Tuchel than defeat v Croatia/Italy/Spain are on Southgate.
Those three nations were better than England, Argentina were not.

But they looked it after Tuchel’s change to a back five, we hired him to do the opposite.

The idea behind appointing a tactician like Tuchel was to break England’s long-standing tournament habits of both panicking when in front in big games and simply hoofing it from the goalkeeper when trailing. He has managed neither - this is every England team I’ve ever watched.

[Melissa Reddy @MelissaReddy_]

Far too defensive, far too early from Thomas Tuchel against a team not just with quality, but who have repeatedly shown they refuse to be beaten. You don’t encourage Leo Messi’s Argentina, you don’t feed their fighting spirit.

[James Pearce @JamesPearceLFC]

A tale of two managers. Scanoli’s substitutions worked a treat.
Baffling how Tuchel approached the game at 1-0 up. So negative with both his tactics and his changes and paid the price. Dropped so deep. Completely surrendered the initiative. That was Southgate like.

[Phil Blundell @PhilBlundell]

Can’t call me reactionary cos I don’t care either way but you’ve gotta sack him for that. Genuinely pathetic tactics.

[Daniel Austin @_Dan_Austin]

Regardless of the merits of the England subs, you simply can't have that many defenders on the pitch and then:

1) give a known goalscorer as much time and space as he wants on the edge of the box after a corner

2) have nobody defending the back post from a cross

Rubbish.

Swindon fucking town didn't sit back that much against Manchester United in 1995….sot back with 25+ mins to go is utterly mind boggling #ENGARG #BBC #WorldCup #ITV #WC2026

@DistanceCovered this Porro fella at RB for Spain, he any good then 😉 #Joshknowsbest 🫡👍🏼

To answer the questions: The moment the ball makes contact with an outside object (in this case the camera cable) play becomes dead and should be restarted with a dropped ball.

VAR could have intervened as it was in the immediate attacking phase of play that directly led to England's goal.

FIFA, meanwhile, say they’ve "checked the data - no peak on the graph from the connected ball heartbeat sensor" 🙃

[Melissa Reddy @MelissaReddy_]

For the benefit of those who haven’t seen the review of the ball hitting the camera cable before England’s equaliser on Fox Sports…

[Melissa Reddy @MelissaReddy_]

I love football. I love late drama. I love comebacks. I love knowing that anything is possible and feeling like we’re watching a steady stream of some of the greatest games ever. I do not love how we are expected to ignore the inconsistencies in officiating and the interventions from VAR, which have largely been heavily weighted towards certain teams and its players. If you’ve watched and followed everything in this World Cup and are still subscribed the idea that it’s all fair, delusionville must be a lovely place to reside.

@beth_lindop all Adidas’s kits are spectacular, this one, Mexicos away, Japans Away and Curacaou’s away are works of art…hang them in the

@TheRedmenTV there have been fewer occasions where @dan_clubbe has been so right, and he’s more often than not right in what he’s saying so there you go, throw the £100m at them and see if it sticks, go nowhere near ‘5th choice at PSG’ Barcola
