Father Time catches up to everyone in Sports. Loyalty to aging players has ended many coaches careers.

According to Opta, that 4-0 defeat is England #Lionesses' heaviest since 2009 Euro final against Germany (6-2) 2009, and heaviest without scoring since September 2003 (4-0 also against Germany).

Not the marker they were hoping to set against the world champions tonight.

@asalciunas975 @JohnKincade @AndrewDiCecco I was waiting for that last run - though technically it was given to them!

[Peter Pocklington @freedomquadrant]

While I’m surprised he reads, I approve of his voice of material!

[Wayne Barton @WayneSBarton]

Wasn’t what I expected to hear today.

@OmarBerrada mentioning my writing in his interview with @AndyMitten. Thanks Omar, it means a lot to me that it resonated with you.

I pray our Representatives can do the right thing and provide aid, a step the Administration has been negligent on!

[Rep. Don Bacon 🇺🇸✈️🏍️⭐️🎖️ @RepDonBacon]

🚨 The House just voted 218-204 to move forward on the discharge petition to provide military aid to Ukraine and impose tough sanctions on Russia. The House will vote on final passage tomorrow. This is our Churchill moment and we must pass the test.

Well it is’Pride Month’

[Gandalv @Microinteracti1]

He wanted to look tough. He posted a painting of himself surrounded by oiled-up shirtless men in tiny shorts waving pompoms. Safe to say this did not land quite the way he intended.

Spot on, Greta. A reflecting pool that does not reflect is just a pool!

[Greta Berlin @Truegreta]

I stood at this pool, at both monuments and saw both reflections…
He’s a God damn idiot, as are the fools that support him. The “Reflection Pool” wasn’t designed by American architect Henry Bacon a hundred years ago to look like a swimming pool. It’s designed to have a darkened characteristics that has reflective qualities to reflect the monuments.
That way, the Washington Monument is reflective to you when at the Lincoln Memorial, and when at the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial is reflective to you.
It’s designed to enhance the grandeur of monuments, create an illusion of reflection, and inclusion of expansive space of unity.
He’s a tacky vulgar person that vulgarizes everything he touches. America isn’t becoming great, it’s becoming vulgar.

What planet did you grow up on? I was a kid in the 1950s and there was no “it’s good for English football” talk! Indeed, the FA forbade Busby entering the European Cup, but he did it anyway!

[Tony Incenzo TV/Radio football reporter 🇮🇹 🇮🇪 @TonyIncenzo]

When I was a kid growing up, everyone wanted all the English sides to do well in Europe saying "It's good for English football." Things seemed to have changed though amongst modern football fans and it is weird that people are wildly celebrating Arsenal's loss to PSG.

[Peter Pocklington @freedomquadrant]

@AdamMcKola Does anyone realize that ‘fan’ is short for ‘fanatic’! Anyone who will root ‘for’ a rival team loses their ‘fan’ card! This has nothing to do with ‘modern’ football and everything to do with understanding the English language!

[Peter Pocklington @freedomquadrant]

Perfect analogy!

[Patrick Bury @PatrickBury]

"If Arsenal are unpopular with neutrals, it’s because they waste everyone’s time. Not just their opponents’ time, but our time too. Football fans everywhere are suffering Arsenal’s consequences. They are like a company that spews pollution into the environment in their production process, privatising the profits and socialising the costs. To them, dumping toxic sludge into the river is just free waste disposal. It’s the rest of us who get a headache when we drink the tap water" https://t.co/PHpC1FRgv7

@StretfordPaddck Option B!

[Peter Pocklington @freedomquadrant]

@asalciunas975 TGHG - Thank God He’s Gone. If you are more about the self than the team then ‘Good riddance’!

[Peter Pocklington @freedomquadrant]

@AllForUnitedWFC What if the FA had a Cup Finalanobody cared? As you were. They did and no-one did!

[Peter Pocklington @freedomquadrant]

@atrupar Stop making out as if the money that was taken out of our pockets to invest in Social Security is some kind of Government hand-out!

[Peter Pocklington @freedomquadrant]

I loved Arsenholes, but Arse-anal does have a certain ring to it!

[Wayne Rooney @WayneRooney]

@piersmorgan by the way i know how to spell arsenal. But arseanal sounds better.

[Peter Pocklington @freedomquadrant]

Bingo! “Follow The Money”. Paid pundits are the scourge of football!

[Cantona & Best @bestcanton7]

Pundits want Arsenal to win because they are the English team, while 99.9% of rival English club fans are rooting for PSG. There is a massive difference between pundits who get paid for their view and club fans who pay to follow their clubs

[Peter Pocklington @freedomquadrant]

It’s almost comical the melt-down Arsenal fans are having about yesterday, conveniently ignoring a season of pro-Arsenal EPL officiating, as evidenced by their ‘no red cards, no penalties against, VAR ignoring corner-kicks never pulled violations’ season. Poetic justice y’day!

[Peter Pocklington @freedomquadrant]

@FIFABrit Accurate assessment, and therein lies the problem. Arsenal executed their game plan to perfection, in the same way inferior clubs become FA Cup ‘giant-killers’ - stifle the life out of the game and pray for the luck of the dice on penalties!

[Peter Pocklington @freedomquadrant]

You are soooooo right. The ABU bias of the pundits and commentators is on full display!

[Annemarie Dray @AnnemarieDray]

There’s not a cat in hell’s chance everyone would be singing our praises postmatch like this if Manchester United had 24.7% possession in a major final.

[Peter Pocklington @freedomquadrant]

Madueke holding the opponents arm to con the referee into a penalty decision - that is taught behavior!

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

🚨 Mikel Arteta: “I watched all the penalties in the competition in the last 72 hours to understand what is a penalty and what is not…

…that one on Madueke can easily be a penalty”.
