@BBCSport So Argentina beat England due to England parking the bus….
So why would Argentina go and park the bus against Spain and expect a different outcome?
I don’t get it!
🚨🗣️ José Mourinho on FIFA overturning Folarin Balogun's red card following Donald Trump's intervention:
"Everyone is acting so shocked today. Everyone is crying about politics and Donald Trump making phone calls to Gianni Infantino to change the rules. But why are we surprised? The integrity of this tournament was thrown in the trash in the very first week.
All this started when FIFA let Lionel Messi escape a clear red card for a studs-up challenge. When you decide that the rules do not apply to the poster boy, you open the door for everyone else. If the referee's monitor can be ignored for Argentina's captain to protect the brand, why can't a suspension be ignored for the United States President?
Folarin Balogun gets a red card, Trump makes a call, and suddenly FIFA finds a magic 'Article 27' to let him play against Belgium. It is a circus. We are no longer watching a World Cup, we are watching a political reality show where the rulebook is just a suggestion based on who you are and who is watching."
Private firms providing services to the NHS made £1.6 billion profit in two years.
That’s £1.6 billion being extracted from the NHS for shareholders rather than patients.
We think the NHS should be about people, not profit.
But what do you think?

@pambice@BBCSport It’s gone already, but people don’t want to believe it because they love what it used to be,
Slowly but surely, greed has spoilt football, FIFA’s Infant & the White House Infant, just hammered in the final nail.

@pambice@BBCSport It’s kinda the same thing, it’s called bending the rules for your own benefit, rules with ambiguity written in specifically for that purpose
