lovely as this is to think, jude’s great-grandad (william’s dad) was ralph bellingham and henry’s dad was also called henry. ralph didn’t have a brother called henry, henry sr didn’t have a brother called ralph.

[Daniel Hannan @DanielJHannan]

I believe that this impressive chap was first cousin to the father of the Tory minister (and now peer) Henry Bellingham. Which means that Jude, like Henry, is a direct descendant of John Bellingham who, in 1812, became the only man to have assassinated a British prime minister.

carles puigdemont is still in exile in belgium! like, spain is very progressive in many ways but god forbid catalunya hold a referendum. you gonna start calling them hypocrites for it (please do)

[AmusedToDeath @AmusedToDeath1]

Why is every leftist completely insane when it comes to the Falklands. Do you know how wild it is for a country to even allow a vote like this from an integral core part of the nation? Usually it takes the threat of war

the uk literally gave the faroes back to denmark after looking after them during n*zi occupation. like, could’ve easily said these are basically scotland and now fair game, didn’t

[Ben Williams @FaringForwards]

It’s obviously an impossible counter-factual, but I’d wager my life that if, say, Spain had colonised empty islands 300 miles west of the UK in the early 19C and had peacefully administered its happy population ever since, we wouldn’t give a flying phuk.

his foreign policy was fairweather and his domestic policy by fad. makes perfect sense lmao

[Linda Pearson @LindaPears87262]

So, chancellor Merz values Keir Starmer's views & opinions & will stay in close contact.

France affords one of the highest honours to Keir Starmer

President Zelensky afford the freedom of Ukraine to Keir Starmer.

Labour part hierarchy, oust him as PM.

Make it make sense.

this is the reasonable explanation for all the la masia boys having a photo of them c. 10 years old with messi. but the bathtub photoshoot comes through unicef bc lamine’s parents were immigrants supported by them. not ‘football fan parents get pics of their kid with players’

[Daniel Vassallo @dvassallo]

This photo is like the birthday paradox. The odds that a random baby in a Messi photo grows up to face him in a world cup final 19 years later look absurdly low. But the two encounters were never fully random. Diehard fans cluster around stars, so nearly every hardcore fan ends up in a photo with one. And every future star comes from one of those families. Both groups are drawn from the same small pool. Once Yamal made it young enough to catch the tail end of Messi’s career, a photo like this was almost guaranteed to exist somewhere. It just turned out to be an unusually cute one!

[Ben Grounds @Ben_Islington]

Messi’s reaction to seeing Pickford knew where to go priceless. Like a “how the hell did he know”. Enzo points to the skies grateful it didn’t go to pens. A lot needs to change if England are to win the World Cup in four years. Pickford is not one of them.

the gibraltar thing was resolved literally this week 😭

[Ava Eva Thornton 🌶️🍋🎵🏳️‍⚧️ @AvaEvaThornton]

Between 1986 and 2020, Spain and the UK were both EEC/EU members and it's really weird that formally resolving the Gibraltar issue wasn't a requirement for that. (Same with Akrotiri and Dhekelia, Rockall, Mont Blanc, Olivenza and Villareal, Sveta Gera, and the Dragonja River)

[alemcgfcb.bsky.social @alemcgfcb]

icl as much as i am as neutral on gibraltar, the spanish claim isn’t *irrational*

@crackcobain__ England literally colonised the world and killed millions of Africans and Asians the least u could do is support the non racist country in Argentina

[alemcgfcb.bsky.social @alemcgfcb]

“if you start giving yellows, where will it end” can be succinctly answered by: whenever argentina stop trying to murder england, on when there aren’t eight of them left on the pitch and they’re tko’d, whichever comes first

[Gryffix 🇳🇱 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 🇵🇸 @Gryffix]

"You can't whistle for every foul"

"If you start giving yellows, where will it end"

"Difficult game to ref"

Actually fuck off. If you give two cards immediately because Argentina are attempting murder on English players, it sets a tone. Tells them that won't fly here.

[alemcgfcb.bsky.social @alemcgfcb]

you say this like fernandez and simeone would still be on the pitch if they were punished as appropriate in the first half

[Mysticmike @funnymanmike]

An example

If Romero had been booked in 1st half he would not of been able to just haul down Bellingham in 2nd half whe England were away & attacking with 3v3

Fernandez & Simeone wouldn't be able to constantly foul in 2nd half if they were rightly booked in 1st half

[alemcgfcb.bsky.social @alemcgfcb]

argentina holding up “malvinas” banners is no different to is russia held up banners claiming ukraine belongs to them, change my mind

[Dell 🇮🇹 @agbnufc_]

That Argentina banner actually breaks tons of FIFA regulations. Political neutrality, discrimination, stadium code of conduct, equipment regulations.

If a lesser nation did that in a qualifier they'd be kicked out.

[Dan @dangiallorossi]

Enzo Fernandez should've been sent off after three minutes.
Simeone made five fouls inside the first thirty minutes and didn't get booked.
Fixing It For Argentina.
