Imagine not only almost sinking one of the most decorated and historic clubs in France (BO), but also the one with the most growth potential (Nice). I'm praying that the latter doesn't come to pass, but whatever happens, JB Aldigé is a bigger cowboy than John Wayne and Clint Eastwood, combined.

The fact of the matter is that England did not lose because Argentina was better, or because of Tuchel's tactical decisions. They lost because their fans and, to a larger degree, the English public, are simply not deserving of a world cup final and never will be. This is the hard truth. Sorry.

2 - There are just two occasions of a team scoring first in the semi-final but not reaching the final of the FIFA World Cup in the 21st century – both of them are England (vs Croatia in 2018 and Argentina in 2026). Familiar.

England manager Thomas Tuchel looks dejected as his side lose to Argentina.

An all-timer of a mentality meltdown. The game was under control, England had the measure of the world champions, and they invited *this* Argentina team to lay siege to them. Come in Agent Tuchel, mission abgeschlossen.

On the plus side, Argentina beating them in the semi final, ideally in controversial and heartbreaking circumstances, is the best way they can possibly get knocked out.

I can finally confirm that the team I will be supporting in this round is 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁 Norway 🇳🇴! The lads who gave Maggie Thatcher one hell of a beating. I don't like the 'row' celebration, but it just has to be the Norwegians.

Absolutely gutted for Mexico. Their defeat just goes to show that life is not a Hollywood movie and that the baddies do often win. Fortunately, there is another remaining team that I have always held close to my heart, to whom I will be gifting my support in the QF. All will be revealed shortly.

RIP Bonnie Tyler. I had the fortune of being in the live studio audience of Nevermind The Buzzcocks, when she was on. She was utterly hilarious and completely stole the show, like your stereotypical lewd South Wales auntie, 2 bottles of prosecco deep down the club on a Friday night.
