The "narrative "
Up and through to 2028 Euros everyone.

[Henry Winter @henrywinter]

Boos confirmed Thomas Tuchel has lost huge chunks of public support. This is a mixed support, some England hard core (Lincoln, Chelsea, West Ham, Sunderland), but a lot of locals and a few French. Tuchel cannot shake the angry narrative around the mistakes he made against Argentina in Atlanta. He’s compounded the mistakes by subsequent lack of full contrition.

"He doesn’t understand how angry fans are. He’s too proud. He’s also busy in the tunnel embracing his old PS-G players in the French squad. Needs also to focus more on his players. Because Tuchel is on shaky ground. FA backing him but he can't afford another disaster like Atlanta. He needs a good performance from his players, a sign of their belief in him. #FRAENG

It's nice to know in this once great nation,
Our highest official in government signs on with a bottle of water, and a paper cup of coffee in a Premier Inn.

@philmcnulty That's what he was saying.

@GuillemBalague England up until 2014 in Brazil we may not be in every world cup but when we did we went out with pride.
N̈ow we reach semis and finals and just capitulate.
1990 for example, 5 years out if Europe, yes luck ,but also moments of excellence and the semi.

@GuillemBalague Tuchel,
went with feelings,
Carried away with defending after Mexico and Norway.
The players went deep and deeper.
And Tuchel went with it with his subs at hydration Break.
OK go 3 at back , but put pace up front for the counter over the top of a high line.

@henrywinter The banner at the end.
Political,
Against Fifa rules ?

Bummer! Congratulations to Argentina on their win tonight. Some excellent banter on here. 😆

On reflection, it would have been amazing to beat you on the pitch tonight and we’d have given you plenty of stick.. but similar to 1986 and Diego’s grubby right hand (nevermind 1998 and Simones lack of core strength) it doesn’t give you the win that you’ll never have. 😘🇫🇰🇬🇧

@JohnCleese Is it just me,
But are we as a country in the middle of some social experiment.
Or is it now unequivocal that life imitates art,
In this case Monty Python ?.

@prodnose One game at a time.
Tomorrow will be Mexico on steroids.

[russ oakley @russoak]

@prodnose Some say if you could go back in time and stop someone,
They would probably reply Hitler, pol pot, hannibal ect.
For me the bloke who invented Fifa football on video games should be a serious contender.

I have no satisfaction in pointing out we sing Hey Jude and definitely sing We are the Champions,
when we are actually Champions of the world.

Imagina ser o país dos Beatles, Queen e Rolling Stones, mas escolher uma música do Oasis como tema da trajetória da seleção inglesa na Copa do Mundo. 😩😭
