Don’t cry 4-3 Argentina

So, in the end, they fell without a fight. Not one true effort, not one shot in sight. Just noise and fury, chest-beating and show, Yet nowhere left for football’s craft to go. They chased the referee more than the ball, Mistook dark arts for greatness after all. For every tumble, every feigned despair, The game itself was left a little poorer there. And when the whistle drew the curtain closed, There was no glory in the path they chose. For medals tarnish, scorelines fade away, But character is measured every day. So home they go, defeated in the end - Without the pride that should a champion attend. For victory borrowed through deception’s guise Wins trophies, perhaps… but never wins the wise. Tonight the football world breathes easier still. Not out of malice, but because, at last, The spirit of the game outlived the spectacle.

What is it with Argentinians and white flags?

State of this 😂 VAR? Where art thou?! He’s back of the head rabbit punched him (illegal in combat sports). Hand of FIFA.

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. 😘🇫🇰🇬🇧

Battle hard and fight like the lions that you are.

Keep going @England — We have control of the engagement.
