Think this is the worst performance of the season collectively, and the worst individual performance of the season from:
Mbeumo, Yoro, Mazraoui, Zirkzee, Dorgu, Lammens
Not to the say the rest have been much better, but those have been so far off it

The lack of intensity in everything we're doing is terrible. The press, the purpose with the ball. Half arsed

Not gonna write to the fa about it, but it really is silly that a strike of that little force on your own teammate merits a red card

Is there actually any footage of Bellingham behaving inappropriately?
Because if you watch the press conference Tuchel didn't see it either, it's a journalist asking him if he did see it and Tuchel talking broadly about cohesiveness.
Feels like the definition of manufactured outrage

🚨⚠️ Thomas Tuchel: “I saw that Jude Bellingham was not happy when he came off. I don't want to make more out of it, but I stick to my words, behavior is key and respect towards the team-mates who come in”. “Decisions are made and you have to accept it as a player”.

It’s actually mad that me and the far-right have exactly the same take. No notes.
They're openly telling us in advance what's going to happen

What makes this so amazing and so sickening is that these goals rarely happen anymore since the sunsetting of away goals
The one goal which changes a loss to a win and a win to a loss

All logic is saying Hungary ease to the playoffs today. They're fundamentally better than Ireland, tactically and technically, and have showed that throughout qualification, but Ireland are Ireland and it's really annoying. Early goal and I think Hungary wilt under the pressure and Ireland win 2-0

Just staggering how this has all played out. Had to go check this was real because I didn't believe it
The exact same sentence the left have been fearing for months claimed by Robinson. Just putting aside their morality, how fucking stupid is this government?

I can only imagine how frustrating it must be for Labour that voters refuse to recognise the difference between the government's progressive, well-intentioned racism and the destructive, toxic racism of Reform and the far-right.
