@nytimes @TheAthleticFC Best World Cup ever?!? It's not even in the top 10.

[Tony McMahon 🇪🇺 @devoidofthought]

@DrNeilStone So its following the path of most recent tory defence secretaries. Shapps, Williamson, Hammond...

[Tony McMahon 🇪🇺 @devoidofthought]

@BenObeseJecty Labour not really striking new ground here appointing someone to this post with zero prior experience of defence matters, are they?

@BethRigby The major parties should decline to stand candidates. Then this is exposed as the performative stunt that it is.

[Tony McMahon 🇪🇺 @devoidofthought]

@Christine724786 @SkyNews @BethRigby @Nigel_Farage Stupid take. Were you not around for all the shit they gave Angela Rayner? Or Boris? What rock are you living under?

[Tony McMahon 🇪🇺 @devoidofthought]

@biigT80 @justina_h842 @TalkTV if the major parties decline to stand candidates, it would be a meaningless victory and expose this for what it is - a performative stunt.

@Jooonaathhann @RebekkaAdams198 @catturd2 I'm an England fan too, I thought it was harsh red card as his foot bounced off the top of the ball. but it was VAR'd and a red was given. end of story. or it should be. But now, everyone has justification for complaining. It's a mess of a precedent.

[Tony McMahon 🇪🇺 @devoidofthought]

@RebekkaAdams198 @Jooonaathhann @catturd2 Muted? ok. But on the off chance you do see this: there is nowhere in the laws of the game where it says to get a red card it has to be a tackle. And to say it wasn't a challenge is ludicrous. They were both challenging for the ball. But I see you ignored the real point...

[Tony McMahon 🇪🇺 @devoidofthought]

@RebekkaAdams198 @Jooonaathhann @catturd2 i've watched it many times and i've not changed my view on it. Opinions differ and thats ok. FIFA does not have an in-tournament procedure for teams to appeal decisions, thats why this is all wrong. Anyone who loves football should not be happy about this.

[Tony McMahon 🇪🇺 @devoidofthought]

@RebekkaAdams198 @Jooonaathhann @catturd2 it absolutely was studs up on his calf.

[Tony McMahon 🇪🇺 @devoidofthought]

@RebekkaAdams198 @Jooonaathhann @catturd2 in my view, it was. studs up on the back of his calf and raked down and could've broken his ankle. the fact it was accidental is irrelevant. the fact that it was a tussle between the two of them, irrelevant.

[Tony McMahon 🇪🇺 @devoidofthought]

@RebekkaAdams198 @Jooonaathhann @catturd2 'Intent' is nothing to do with it, it was removed from the laws years ago. This was reckless - just like the guy who broke the Canadians leg, just like the english player last night, and just like Messi's. In my view (and I have refereed), all were justified as being a red card.

[Tony McMahon 🇪🇺 @devoidofthought]

@Chessboardese @catturd2 quite right too. in fact, why have red cards at all if getting one stops teams being able to use their best players?

[Tony McMahon 🇪🇺 @devoidofthought]

@OnLanded @Reuters *sigh* they haven't rescinded the red card, they've suspended it. its not wiped, it still happened. We don't know why FIFA have done this as they haven't explained. All we know is the orange one repeatedly lobbied the FIFA president and FIFA appears to have undermined its rules

[Tony McMahon 🇪🇺 @devoidofthought]

@OnLanded @Reuters It is against FIFAs own rules for governments to attempt to influence disciplinary matters. FIFAs own penalty for that is disqualification from the tournament. You seem happy to flaunt that rule. Whether you like it or not, it's still cheating.

[Tony McMahon 🇪🇺 @devoidofthought]

@OnLanded @Reuters the fact that you think that's ok is telling. but if USA go on to win the world cup, then to the rest of the entire world this win will forever have an asterisk next to it. You've cheated and FIFA let you.

[Tony McMahon 🇪🇺 @devoidofthought]

@OnLanded @Reuters aw bless. you're an idiot for bringing this weird straw man comment in a thread about football. But, talking about 'respect' of leadership given your current president just increases your level of idiocy.
