Chelsea<\/a> topped that. When their Enzo Fernandez equalised against England with five minutes to go, they posted a photo of him celebrating, with a sort of a celebratory, explosive emoji. We\u2019d bring you a taste of the response, but it would just look like this: \u201c**** *** *** ******** ******.\u201d<\/p>\nSoon after? Chelsea deleted the tweet.<\/p>\n
Quote<\/p>\n
\u201cThe players \u200bwere not sufficiently reassured about \u200cbeing treated by him. We had to find convincing expertise because health comes before everything.\u201d<\/p>\n
Senegal\u2019s federation president Abdoulaye Fall claiming that their team doctor at the World Cup was in fact, well, a gynaecologist. <\/p>\n
Number: 11<\/p>\n
That\u2019s how many minutes Fifa say the half-time show in the World Cup final will last, but between the stage being erected and removed, it could take half an hour. Add in the hydration breaks, and the final mightn\u2019t be over till Monday.<\/p>\n
World of Mouth <\/p>\n
\u201cIt is not a defeat, it is not an elimination \u2013 it is a humiliation. I feel ripped off, scammed, bamboozled, cuckolded. We delivered a catastrophic match on every level.\u201d \u2212 France old-boy Christophe Dugarry taking that defeat by Spain well.<\/p>\n
\u201cTomorrow we play against the usurping pirates. Against the English, it\u2019s always something more. It\u2019s the Malvinas, it\u2019s Diego, it\u2019s Leo\u2019s last one, and it\u2019s putting the brakes on the invaders. Go Argentina! Because until our last breath, we\u2019re going to claim what\u2019s ours!\u201d \u2013 Argentina vice-president Victoria Villarruel sounding quite up for that semi-final. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe will have to put Lionel Messi to bed. We are, 100 per cent. I\u2019m saying it now, England are going to the World Cup final, we\u2019ve got too much pace for Argentina and we\u2019re going to beat them, I feel it in my bones!\u201d \u2013 England old boy Joe Cole. Oh well.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s no way he can stay on. Not a f***ing cat in hell\u2019s chance after that. He\u2019s not a Sir Bobby Robson or Kevin Keegan, someone that the nation loves. People will go against him because he\u2019s German as well, so he\u2019s going to have a nightmare.\u201d \u2013 Nicky Butt hinting that Tommy Tuchel\u2019s time as England gaffer should possibly be up. <\/p>\n
\u201cI could do that with my local pub team.\u201d \u2013 Michael Owen suggesting Tuchel\u2019s tactics were less than sophisticated. <\/p>\n
Roy Keane: \u201cWill he remember the game? Because he always seems to be drinking at the matches.\u201d<\/p>\n
Alf-Inge Haaland: \u201cOnce a p***k always a p***k.\u201d<\/p>\n
The feud, it would seem, is not quite over.<\/p>\n
