"You're on about Messi!" 😡
An impossible job? Roy and Gary couldn't agree on how to stop Lionel Messi's magic... and where Thomas Tuchel got it wrong. 🇦🇷
I speak for me and me alone.
Nobody on here has called out the worst excesses of Englishness in here, nobody. And at England games too.
But if you're Scottish or Irish or Welsh reading this, most English people care about, like you, is food on the table, grafting and being, for now, part of a union of nations.
Me, today, I'm tapped out. Never believed in the union, I believe in an English independent nation that trades with 3 or 4 other neighbours as friends. I love England, I do not love nor hate the other constituent parts.
What I do know is Scottish media and politicians, not brain dead pundits, have been more than happy to twist the knife this last month.
So please, Scotland and Wales, vote for independence so we can all have our own destiny, as friends without tagging a nation of 40 million as some sort of colonial oppressor. We're fucking not.
And the cheek of the Scots and Welsh pretending they weren't a part of every British atrocity is fucking laughable.
England fans chanting about Scotland before their game vs Panama…
“Yes sir, you can book it, you can book your flight back home, you can book it, book it, book it, all night long”
Incredible 😂😂😂
England’s return to the World Cup semi-finals is fuelling a resentment by some Scottish nationalists that lies beyond all rhyme or reason and feels mean-spirited, writes @oliverbrown_tel ⤵️

The 'keep politics out of football' brigade really are falling over themselves bring the Falklands War into any conversation regarding England and Argentina.
Strange that...
Actually it wasn’t. Dame Heather Hallet found *no* evidence of cronyism or corruption on the part of ministers or officials. Mistakes *were* made. Honest mistakes. I take full responsibility for that. But the allegations of corruption are unfounded nonsense
🚨 NEW: Keir Starmer says Scotland and Wales fans should come together to support England against Argentina tomorrow
"I would very much encourage unity"
England’s Jarell Quansah has been given a two-match ban for the red card he received during England’s round-of-16 win over Mexico.
Under FIFA’s rules, any World Cup sending-off offence is accompanied by a ban for the team’s next game, according to Article 10.5 of the tournament regulations.
But FIFA confirmed in a statement on Thursday, two days before England’s quarter-final against Norway, that the 23-year-old defender will also be banned for his country’s semi-final, if they advance.
There is no mechanism in FIFA’s rules for the 2026 tournament for teams to appeal against red cards, but the FA had been considering its options over the sanction.
