Before #FIFA start pumping the propaganda tonight and telling us all how amazing this #WorldCup has been, let’s remember they oversaw:
- highest ticket prices ever and took a cut from resale sites.
- did nothing about Somalian referee and dozens of staff who were banned from entering the US for no legitimate reason.
- stood by as Iran were forced to train outside the US and travel in on match days.
- overturned red cards after phone calls with the president.
- Americanised the beautiful game with hydration (TV) breaks and 25 mins half time in the final
- guided Argentina through the tournament with less travel, VAR support and blatantly turning a blind due to their aggression and foul play.
@JackPittBrooke Totally agree, if we'd have had midfield options from the bench to help see out games by keeping the ball, it'd have given us a way of seeing out games other than our only option of packing the 18 yard line with defenders 🤦🏻♂️

Taking into account it was last 16 of a World Cup playing a team at their own ground in that atmosphere, plus being down to 10 men for most of the second half makes it difficult to beat....
Genuinely struggling to think of a better England game/result/performance in my lifetime that the one last night... v Holland at Euro 96, Germany 5-1, and possibly the 2-0 v Germany at Euro 2020 are the closest but 2 of them were at Wembley and the other was a qualifier.
