The @SerieA relegated their biggest club for a whole lot less cheating than City

How big are your balls @premierleague …..

[No Context Prem @NoContextEPL]

The replay from this angle does Gabriel absolutely no favours 😭

[AB @arngilska]

@FPLGeneral I activated 3 days ago and have regretted it ever since 😆

[Couch Nish 🛋️ @CouchNish]

Just a reminder that this wasn’t a penalty, or a yellow, or a red, just a destroyed ACL for Virgil by Pickford.

I hate the standard of refereeing in the PL.

[AlexionLFC @AlexionLFC]

So Michael Oliver, who was on VAR duty in today's match...who happened to be the ref in this match, didn't give this as a pen.

10000% times worse than what Alisson did.

Remember, there's grown adults that still say LiVARpool...grown adults.

[Dominic Trout @dominic_trout]

Michael Oliver gave a penalty for this.

Michael Oliver didn’t give a penalty for this.

[James Cave @LordBossCavey94]

VAR missed the easiest foul throw ever leading to that penalty. #LFCNFO #LFC

[Unrepentant Fenian Bastard @HendrickD82]

Buy a right back.

Buy a partner for Alexis.

Play Dom on the right.

Be done with it.

[AB @arngilska]

@HendrickD82 It is a bit like Norway has never lost to Brazil. It is true, but we have played them Four or five times. Definitely good, but no one would claim Norway to be a footballing powerhouse

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Sergey Brin is leading a $90 million ad campaign to stop California's 5% billionaire wealth tax.

He is $133 billion richer since Trump's election.

But that's apparently not enough. He'd rather children lose access to healthcare than pay his fair share.

Greed is a sickness.

[Henry Winter @henrywinter]

Of all the things I worry about with Gianni Infantino the colour of his shoes is the least of them. OK, white trainers looks like he thinks he’s a player, he’s a 56-year-old suit trying to be cool and it actually cheapens the office of FIFA president. All true. But, really, I’m more concerned about Infantino’s relationship with the White House than love of white trainers.

I’m more concerned about his allowance of external interference in disciplinary matters; his wooing of politicians when a governing body should be above that; his consideration of the idea (not his) of expanding the World Cup to 64, destroying qualifying for a start, let alone the obvious voting appeal an expansion would mean for him; and the accelerating commercialisation of the game through hydration breaks.

I'm more concerned about the scandalous price of World Cup tickets (only partly a FIFA issue); the fact that Infantino makes things about him, and his love of being with rich, famous and powerful people, when really everything at FIFA should revolve around the good of the game. It's almost comical his swooning around wealth and power.

So, no, I wouldn't put white shoes as his worst behaviour. I’m more frustrated for the good people working hard at FIFA, doing incredible work in countries and communities around the world, and seeing the organisation they represent with such pride and industry be associated with a president who’s lost sight of the heart and soul of football.

Infantino may well be a decent guy, far removed from the mockery online. I don't know. But I do know that he needs to re-find the respected young lawyer he once was at UEFA. He's changed. That maybe him or FIFA culture.

Infantino should remember that FIFA is a sporting institution, not a political one. He should remember that FIFA should be all about the game, not about him. It's been a great World Cup overshadowed at times by wretched decisions and own goals of Infantino's making or shaping. Do better.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Beyond pathetic. FIFA President Infantino to Trump: “You don’t need people to compliment you, but this world cup would not have been such an incredible success without you.

It is the greatest human social and cultural event that mankind has ever witnessed.”

FIFA has disallowed Newton's First Law of Motion.

[Duncan Castles @DuncanCastles]

Gary Neville on FIFA’s claim that the ball did not hit an overhead wire ahead of England’s opening goal: ‘I would believe the Norwegians over FIFA, personally.’
#NORENG #WorldCup

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

The Norwegian goal kick hit an overhead cable and fell right in front of an England player and seconds later they converted for a goal. (Great by Bellingham.) No call, not reviewable?! But as we know, sometimes things can suddenly are reviewable and reversible...

[Oliver Kahn @OliverKahn]

If we're rewriting football history now, I have a small suggestion:
I'd like FIFA to rescind the yellow card shown to Michael Ballack in the 2002 World Cup semifinal, the one that ruled him out of the final.
And while we're at it, we might as well replay the final against Brazil.
