Mat Ryan’s WC legacy is now:

- Howler v Netherlands
- Howler v Argentina
- Dive wrong way 3/4 pens as designated penalty keeper (after replacing a bloke playing like Gigi Buffon).

Well done Popa and all. Aus player did not score for 300+ mins post Turkey. Great.

@Gatty54 That's Popaball. Any Wanderers fan will know, we had to suffer it for years. It tests your love for the game and your will to live.

🚨New: Sadio Mane on the controversial penalty appeal for Youri Tielemans against Senegal:

🗣️“This is football, not theatre. Tielemans gets to the ball first, Camara is doing exactly what every defender is taught from the first day, clear the danger. They arrive almost together, there’s only minimal, unavoidable contact after the challenge. That alone is not a foul.

The Laws of the Game don’t punish every collision. A penalty requires a careless, reckless, or excessive-force foul. Simply making contact after both players challenge for the ball isn’t enough. Football is a contact sport, not a non-contact exhibition.

VAR is supposed to correct clear and obvious errors, not turn every 50-50 duel into a courtroom trial. Every time the referee is dragged to the monitor for incidents like this, the game loses another piece of its soul. It’s like using a microscope to find an elephant, it makes no sense.

Senegal were fighting like lions, Belgium were hanging by a thread, and then one decision threatens to rewrite the entire story. If this is a penalty today, then defenders may as well stop tackling and start writing apology letters before kick-off.

Modern football is becoming a house built on sand, one soft decision after another. The badge on the referee’s shirt is starting to carry more influence than the players wearing the jerseys. That’s not protecting the game; that’s suffocating it”

I have been repotting outside Wembley during Euro. There was no police and definitely no ultras.
And the situation became unsustainable

I’m sorry, but when England fans get heavily drunk and excited they are unbearable. And not like unbearable banter, but public security stuff

"If you are willing to stand at a live site and claim the glory of the green and gold on television, you must be willing to stand up in the parliament and fund the local pitches where those players are made."

@football360au Being told that you aren't good enough by the Wanderers is the key to success

🇦🇷🗣️ Lionel Scaloni: “Today, Leo Messi could have played 90 minutes and maybe continued adding to his legend by scoring more goals...

But he preferred for HIS TEAMMATES TO GET MINUTES. He chose to think about them and what comes next, and that says a lot about him.”

Pure class. 👏❤️

[Craig F̶o̶s̶t̶e̶r̶ @Craig_Foster]

Greetings and congratulations to Egypt and the @EgyptNT_EN

That was an epic match.

We note your first ever win, and congratulate you on your progression.

We’ve only met each other twice before, both in friendlies.

It will be a great challenge to face the Pharoahs, 7 times champions of Africa.

We have a strong community of around 103,000 of Egyptian ancestry, and 23,000 Aussies born in Egypt.

This game will allow us to get to know our own Australian-Egyptians better, and to get to know you, before we meet on the field next Saturday.

We know that ancient Egyptian culture is one of the earliest recorded, around 5,000 years ago.

And while the Commonwealth of Australia was established in 1901, you should know that our First Nations, Indigenous Australians are the oldest living culture on earth - 65,000 years of continuous existence.

We will use the opportunity to get to know you, will meet on the field with respect, and mutual ambition.

And may the best team win.
