Has Trump ratified this morning’s result yet? 2 things to come from this World Cup: 1) never have it in the USA ever again 2) FIFA are as corrupt as ever. Infantino = Blatter and he should be sacked as soon as the tournament is over

Absolutely terrible second half, no fight, no heart, the team who wanted it more won and that hurts. Sick of watching the same game, go ahead look relatively good then fall apart in the second half. Things have to change!

One of the worst games ever. We were terrible, could have been 5th and banging on the door of Champions League but didn’t turn up at all.

2025 was a good year, retired completely from work, turned 60, wife became a Dame, had some fantastic holidays and Newcastle won a trophy - I was beginning to wonder if I was going to see it happen……and I did

Test cricket is rubbish isn’t it - no excitement, T20 much better, my arse! What an amazing test series, neither team are the best in the world but so what 5 fantastic games and to be fair a draw just about right

I am the biggest supporter of our owners, but howay lads you have to tell us what’s going on - this stinks of the disastrous Ashley communication strategy, tell us what is going on

England women so poor in that first 45 minutes. Terrible defending and absolutely no threat going forward - amateur at best

Anyone asking questions over Liverpool’s weakened side and their lack of competitiveness all over the pitch - or is it just me?

Pope is struggling there is no doubt, but I don’t buy the Dubravka is a street ahead of him rhetoric. Pope isn’t as bad as is being currently made out, but Dubravka isn’t as good as people are currently saying. I do however think Dubravka starts the cup final

Terrible performance by Andy Madely and VAR last night. Van Dijk’s clearly intentional shoulder in the face on Gordon, Quansah’s clear foul on Isak in the box, outrageous final whistle call. Job done Liverpool protected - Premier League happy
