🚨 Roy Keane on Nico Williams disallowed goal against Argentina:

“I’ve just seen the biggest robbery of this World Cup. The ball comes into the box, nobody touches anybody, everyone goes up for it, then one Argentina player starts shouting. The next thing you know, two defenders are on the floor appealing,

Nico Williams has scored, and Emiliano Martinez … who wasn’t even touched… is somehow lying there as well asking for a foul.

The referee blows immediately. No VAR review. No replay. No check to see if there was actually any contact. Just disallowed. Apparently if enough Argentina players fall over at the same time, that’s now considered conclusive evidence.

If we’re being honest, Paredes shouldn’t even still be on the pitch after some of the tackles he’s made today. Yet somehow the only thing the referee managed to spot instantly was an invisible foul.”

🚨NO TEAM IN THE WORLD CUP HISTORY HAS COMMINTED MORE FOULS THAN ARGENTINA HAS IN THE 2026 WORLD CUP

DESPITE THAT, THEY STILL HOLD THE LEAST AMOUNT OF YELLOW CARDS PER EACH FOUL

MASSIVE CORRUPTION & ROBBERY🤯

[Kurt @_kjs1874]

I’m not one for believing in bribes or fixed sport really, but this entire tournament has been bent as fuck from the get go and I think it’s blatantly obvious. Damaged the sport

ILS SONT INTOUCHABLES ! ❌

Toute la Coupe Du Monde ça été la même chose, des fautes flagrantes sans être sanctionnées (à commencé par Messi qui doit prendre rouge lors du 1er match).

Ça change tout, ils sont pas punis donc peuvent toujours être agressifs.

The Argentine garrison on the Falklands:

-used a school as an ammo dump and put an anti-aircraft gun in the playground
-placed artillery among people's houses
-misused the red cross, which is a war crime
-used the post office's floor as a public toilet and the streets as a tip

How do they constantly get away with this?

Inciting war and violence. Any other nation and they’d be in massive trouble. Nothing ever gets said. Whether it’s chants or banners like this.

[Laurie Wastell @L_Wastell]

As Argentina was throwing in the towel at the end of the Falklands War, journalist Max Hastings, incredibly, walked into occupied Stanley ahead of the British forces. He speaks to the dejected Argentine soldiers and asks if they’re surrendering. Some of them glare at him but he meets no resistance. He then continues to the town pub, the Upland Goose, where he's met with cheers. The landlord says: “We never doubted for a moment that the British would come… Would you like a drink?”

Nothing screams false patriot like wearing a jersey for a photo opportunity, that still has packing creases.

[Josh Glancy @joshglancy]

When the Falklands last held a referendum in 2013, some 99.8% of islanders voted to remain part of the UK, on a 92% turnout. Three people voted against.

Will Gary Lineker be volunteering to go and tell the Falklanders that he disputes their right to self-determination?

A man facing up to an entire stand of Mexicans in what appears to be a Rickie Lambert England Shirt, beautiful.

@DougieCritchley Gordon won’t get the plaudits he desires after that but what a performance and looked a threat all game.

[Footy Accumulators @FootyAccums]

Harry Kane has lost his voice and it's absolutely hilarious, sounds like he's smoked 50 cigs.

😂😂😂

[Ed McCosh @EdMc_Cosh]

What the Mexico fans haven't appreciated is that raining down a chorus of boos is just going to make Jordan Pickford feel at home.

[HLTCO @HLTCO]

I can’t get over that. I’m so fucking proud. The most emotion I’ve felt over an England game since Euro 96.

I was 7 then. I’m 37 now. It’s incredible.

[Mark Goldbridge @markgoldbridge]

No Mexico yellow cards yet they've been at it all game. He's booked three of ours. Suspect this game may be weighed against England from above

[HLTCO @HLTCO]

From larging it to the Norway keeper after scoring a consolation penalty to floods of tears straight after. Life comes at you fast.

[Gaff @thesoopabees]

So Ajer gets the ball cleanly against Brazil but conveniently they don’t show the angle of him getting the ball and show the foul after. Okay. More corruption

Director of Cricket - Alec Stewart
Head Coach - Andy Flower
Test Captain - Joe Root
White ball captain - Jacob Bethell (I think he’s a future Test captain)
Tell Harry Brook to grow up and concentrate on his game. He should bat at 3 and Bethell 6.
Rehan has to come in.
Foakes back as keeper and don’t drop him if he doesn’t score consistently all the time. Catches win matches and good keeping encourages bowlers.
And appoint a fresh coaching staff who are not all the mates of…
I love Trescothick but cannot see what he’s added.
Jeetan Patel has not improved a single English spinner.

Sorry this just makes me angry!!

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

This is an outrageous, disgraceful smear on John Healey — and an outright lie. There are a ton of ways to finance more for defence — starting with net zero — without taking a penny from schools or hospitals. Reeves should be ashamed of herself for allowing this nonsense. Suggests she’s really desperate.
