@Harkie_no1 @Footballtweet And Argentina, Spain and France have played some quality sides in comparison right?

@StanCollymore I don't even understand why they have a song about it. 649 Argentine military personnel, 255 British military personnel, and 3 Falkland Islanders died so unnecessarily. What is there to gloat about?

@Uzzell01 Unfortunately, Justin Whittle couldn't get all of his shifts covered.

@killemall2024 @StanCollymore That's part of the problem though. Professional clubs here have Youth Teams, made up generally of the best local talent. That talent is found in the leagues which are / mostly are free to play. Once in a youth team, expenses are paid by the club. There's no pay to advance.

@marcduffy10 Keep a lid on it, but Starbucks' are better quality...

@PeruvianRok @Footballtweet So why do your grown men spend so much time rolling around crying? 🤣

[Alan Atkinson @AlanAtkinson85]

@TeleFootball The teams they've played there since 2013 🥴

@T_Buzdar @Footballtweet Ecuador beat Germany in the final group stage match, but Germany still progressed to the next round before being eliminated by Paraguay.

@hardcore_haney @nocontextfm1 Yeah, both the Dutch and English are capable of hosting it alone but I think it is now the norm to include neighbouring countries now. England hosted Euro 96 just fine, the stadiums are more than adequate, but it would definitely be a joint UK tournament next time.

@hardcore_haney @nocontextfm1 They held Euro 2000 alongside Belgium.

@HullCityKits Fun fact about de Wijs; his middle names are Adriana Jozefina 👀

@TigerTubePlayer Does a photo suffice? I don't think I saw a video of it

[Alan Atkinson @AlanAtkinson85]

@Aeraeus @lucyjaynewhite1 There are 3 present Japanese players with Ghanian and Nigerian heritage, plus one USA. Try again 🤣

[Alan Atkinson @AlanAtkinson85]

@oshltwadup @AllSaintsnews98 They're not even French, but very close.

@TigerTubePlayer Damian Delaney has just cut inside on the left wing, just after the halfway line against Rochdale...

@Uzzell01 His parents, Romaine and Iceberg, are very proud of him getting some airtime.
