Retweeting away

[RiP @_RP_77]

@UTDgeezer @David_Ornstein @TheAthleticFC If Rashford returns and the toxic fans keep their fucking mouths shut instead of digging him out, then United will have Cunha and Rashford competing for slots on the left and pushing Sesko and Mbuemo as well. Throw Amad into the mix, with Lacey as well, and that could be HOT 🔥

You can lift heavy but can you actually move?

[Sam Allen @k1aning]

@TouchlineOracle Was only aware cus of FM

[Sam Allen @k1aning]

Really have the potential to go far. Pity they lack a bit of the old quality they used to have upfront and at CM (though Fofana and Kessie are good players)

[h @htomufc]

Amad was soooo smooth last night, Diomande left and Amad right could send Ivory Coast deep this WC. Their back-line is so nice too. Nice to see Singo play well, watched him as Monaco a few seasons back and he was so good as RCB in a three for them.

[Sam Allen @k1aning]

@Blahovic @TouchlineOracle Disasterclass feels harsh, have to remember he came up against one of the best 6s in the world too

[Sam Allen @k1aning]

@TouchlineOracle Been really really impressed by Doué. Singo is a player too. Lack of attacking bite worries me but let’s see. Cautiously optimistic

[Carl Anka @Ankaman616]

You start digging through World Cup stories and realise how fluid borders and nationality can be.
We're all just people, trying to do the best for the children who come after us.

[Marva @MarvaKreel]

Very special from Ivory Coast.

But truly awful that so many of their fans couldn’t be there to see it because of visa denials.

A stain on a brilliant moment.

Curaçao en su primer mundial metiendo su primer gol contra Alemania

Marruecos correteando a Brasil

Haití después de que les vetaran el uniforme porque nunca los van a perdonar ser un pueblo libre, y Escocia después de 28 años

Me emociona más eso que otro España-Portugal

🚨 Joint-statement from Cape Verde, Curaçao, Uzbekistan, Congo, Haiti, Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, Egypt, Ghana, Senegal, South Africa and Côte d’Ivoire expressing their “profound disappointment” following the recent comments made by UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin arguing the expanded World Cup will create “uninteresting” games.

“We respectfully but firmly reject these comments.

“For our countries, there is no such thing as an unimportant World Cup match.

“For Cape Verde, Curaçao and Uzbekistan, qualification for the FIFA World Cup represents a historic achievement and the realization of a dream shared by generations.

“For nations such as Congo and Haiti, returning to football’s biggest stage after a long absence carries a special meaning for millions of supporters who have waited years, and in some cases decades, for this moment.

“To suggest that these matches are somehow less important is deeply disappointing and fails to recognize the efforts, sacrifices and aspirations of players, coaches, clubs, football leaders and supporters across the world.

“Behind every qualification stand years of work and investment. Behind every national team stand entire communities and millions of people who see football as a source of pride, hope and unity.

“Football does not belong to a select group of nations. Its strength comes from its universality. The FIFA World Cup is the world’s greatest football competition precisely because it brings together different cultures, different histories and different football journeys.

“For many countries, participation in the FIFA World Cup is not only a sporting achievement. It is a moment that inspires a generation, accelerates football development and creates memories that last a lifetime.

“We believe that every nation that qualifies deserves respect. Every team has earned its place on merit. Every supporter has the right to dream. Every match carries meaning for millions of people around the world.

“We therefore reject the UEFA President’s comments and reaffirm our belief that the growth of football must continue to create opportunities, inspire new generations and strengthen the truly global nature of our game.

“Every team qualified on merit.

“Every match matters.”

😂😂 the diaspora babes dey make twi sound sexy paa oooo

[Sam Allen @k1aning]

Big miss not including him in the squad

[h @htomufc]

Drop Joao Pedro into this Brazil team and it’s quite frightening how much better it would get. It’s quite clear how much his qualities suit that front five & their dynamics.

[Sam Allen @k1aning]

Bouaddi is a baller

[Julien Laurens @LaurensJulien]

What a first half from Ayyoub Bouaddi! He is still only 18! You understand why PSG and Arsenal (and other top clubs) want to sign him this summer. Lille have set the price at around 60-70m euros!

[h @htomufc]

Playing like the most experienced CM on the pitch. Adjusts his hips so well on/off the ball, saw one deep run he made down the right off the ball too - he can SHIFT, such a good build to work with, good work in tight spaces, loose / second ball winner, obvious 80m+ midfielder.

[Mukhtar @I_amMukhtar]

Simon Jordan has slightly changed his tune. He was basically making excuses for the US banning Omar Artan the other day.

Big up Osasu Obayiuwana.

Wonder why Argentina is different 🤔

[𝔸𝕝 𝕍𝕒𝕣𝕠 𝕏 @al_varo777]

Fun fact: Every team at this current World Cup has at least one black player or player of African descent, including all 9 Asian teams, except Argentina.

[Kevin V. Nguyen @KevinNguyen_89]

How far is FIFA going with its brand restrictions? The condiments at the Levi’s Stadium press box have all been taped over 😆

[Osasu Obayiuwana @osasuo]

Any journo buying food at the @MetLifeStadium, during this @FIFAWorldCup, should be ready to be taken for a mug. @EddyDove of @ESPNAfrica just went to get a meal. I’ll leave him to tell you how much he paid for it…
