A long time since Tottenham went away to a decent/big team, were also unequivocally the better team, got the breaks and won. Quick look might even be the 6-1 at Utd in Oct 2020

Someone should do a study of how the new format turned the Champions League into the ultimate vibes competition, like no stakes, no fear, every game is either 4-3 in xG or 35 shots to 3, you'll probably qualify, just have fun

I turned on exactly as England crossed the halfway line for their first goal, so from my view this has been a dominant performance from England

Two similar Tottenham games this week. Looked the better team for long spells, can't catch a break in finishing, decent shot volume, too many shots the other way, and some opposition worldies. Much if this is how it will be but some weeks we will score more than the opponent ha

Josh Kerr slightly outran his predicted finish of 13th there. This Ultimate Champs has been good, they just need to tighten up the data stuff on the broadcast. Lost count of the amount of times sport drops the ball on this, seriously: hire experts

Wouldn't say he's been massively impactful yet, but it's legit reassuring to have Robertson in at left back just for the decisions he makes in buildup / attack, as a guy who knows the role inside out

World Athletics Ultimate Championships and to the shock of nobody another huge L for "probability in sports broadcasts", with Werro (fastest in event since early 80s) given a 73% chance of qualifying, sure enough she eased through, let me bet those odds please

"Let's take time to salute Lionel Messi who has today retired from intern...MUdrYK LOAN InCOmING."

Aw not Dolly, everyone liked Dolly :(

7/9 home wins so far, a strong front runner for this year's Faulty Narrative In Early Weeks Of Season award

Torching your xG in week one ouch

Happy with Savinho. He's ranked 2nd in the league behind Doku for Dribble and Carry OBV since arriving at City, and is young still. End product could improve but there's time for that.

Farewell Djed Spence, can't recall a player go from seemingly massive flop on the outs to really reliable contributor, but he was never quite first choice so can understand him moving on. Still one of the few success stories of last couple of years

Dominant from Karsten Warholm. In my mind the way he runs and strides, idk my brain has decided he's the double of Elon Musk, and then you see him actually and he doesn't look like him at all. #analysis

Aw sad about Baresi. Consensus world's best defender throughout my childhood, and few sportspeople carry that kind of kudos for any period of time. RIP

RIP Kevin Keegan, you always got the sense he was a good guy, and just a guy who created moments both brilliant or absurd, but regardless we are poorer for him no longer being with us www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4Oz...

Best Soccer Aid ever

Someone is gonna say England should have played like this before and well, no that's not how it works

Good job everyone knows there's a lot of randomness in one football match, so no need to litigate all the decisions, just move on; live, laugh, love as the quote on this chalet wall says

Messi sticks that on a plate with his off foot, what can you do

England being all "we can defend more than you can attack" is the absolute football heritage of this country, terrifying to watch so it is

Would rather we didn't go for the "Dan Burn half hour" here to see it out, but so far so good

This is the first World Cup ever where I have been entirely fine with the match by match personnel adjustments of an England manager

Ok every Argentinian player looks twice as hyped as England, this is done

Just walked past Bradley Walsh in a sand dune AMA

Literally none of the post game chatter here on ITV has mentioned the game being played in a furnace - which may have affected a lot of what happened - at direct odds with all the altitude chat from the Mexico game

Oldest man take here, but bring back the side view for penalties.

"...and he asked if I ever played and I said, sure. Believe me I scored a lotta goals when I played. Huge goals. I could take a penalty right now and no goalkeeper could save it, they know this. Many people are asking if I could play today but I won't..."

I reckon England don't win that game without the hydration break. Comes right after the Mexico goal to go 3-2 and Tuchel has 3 minutes he'd never normally have to tee up what to do. Sure they'd have ended up in a low block anyway, but that additional time to get the message across likely key.

Kane can't speak, Henderson getting air on a stretcher what the hell is going on

ngl I'm somewhat awake

My word, 6 shots total and yet that was about the best match I've ever seen England play

Lmao delayed nap time

We go again

Ok last night was weird, but what is going on on the field rn
