This is so much worse than Croatia eight years ago. England were a better team here, in a better position, with better options. And they just decided to do nothing after going 1-0 up. Back five tactics as if this was just endless crosses to Raul Jimenez again.
Yeah this is it. It’s fine to go into a low block if you look solid doing it. England looked weak in a low block and looked even weaker when they committed to it even further.
PSG saved football. Ah yes, the team owned by Qatari state who has breached multiple FFP rules and are being investigated for corruption saved football. https://t.co/RWKB6Tn1lv
If you want to see unite the country, watch the videos of the emirates tonight. Every race, every colour, every gender in perfect harmony.
The Arsenal. Champions on and off the pitch.
It’s an unpopular view but Arsenal’s title is the story of considerable overperformance against wealthier opposition - City’s higher wage bill is the equivalent of more than five Sakas
It wasn’t always pretty but it is maximising everything you’ve got

Mikel Arteta has brought Arsenal to a Champions League final.
With a performance that symbolises how he transformed the club.
They were physically, technically, and psychologically inept when he took over. In every sense.
The fans had no hope.
Now? Arsenal embody the opposite of that.
They compete for every duel like their lives depend on it. They have physical monsters all over the pitch. They are the best set piece team in the land. Their fans celebrate a successful high press like a goal. All whilst dominating games with technical and tactical superiority.
From doubters to believers. On and off the pitch.
We've been here since 2019, guys.
Predicting it and watching it unfold in real time. 'Trust the process' was no gimmick. It was steeped in reality. Despite all of the noise. Despite the mass criticism. The doubts. From inside and outside of Arsenal.
But here we are, guys.
Here. We. Are.
The joy some people derive from Arsenal’s defeat says more about human nature than football. There is a strange comfort many find in the fall of those who are striving, perhaps because it makes their own struggles feel lighter. When something or someone is seen as “good,” their failure becomes a spectacle, not just a result. It reminds us that, for many, it is easier to celebrate a downfall than to confront someone else’s rise.
