Absolute who’s who of Champ Man 00/01 there 😂 just missing Kennedy Bakirioglu & Javier Saviola 👌🏼
Wow! 25 years ago! It’s so humbling to look at this now and see some amazing ballers on here! I hope every single one of them is doing well today! Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop

Not claiming to be any defensive genius or owt but I’ve seen Doku cut inside n bend it int top corner enough times now to think surely the 2 Liverpool defenders can show him down the line on his left peg. Gotta know your opponents at that level 🤨

There are times when you think AI has gone too far, but then there are moments when you see Uncle Phil from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air scoring Mesut Özil's goal against Ludogrets, and suddenly it all feels worthwhile.

In case we needed more proof that the world is off its head, did I just hear the UK is spending £8M on trials to see if the Keto Diet cures Bipolar, cos a guy on that diet started feeling less Bipolar systems?! “Fat guy loses weight & feels less down” 🤯 #stopthepresses #shock 🤦🏻

Had some time to mull it over & I’ve come a conclusion that we appointed a German, yes we’ve had foreign managers before, but this guys German, deep down he has a built-in hatred for England & he has done that on purpose last night. It’s the only explanation 🤦🏻 #england

Imagine it was the other way round & an Englishman just denied Germany the opportunity to make a World Cup final by doing that when 1-0 up. We’d all be calling him a hero. Just can’t wait for Tuchel to come out & admit that on German TV n laugh at us

In my opinion Tuchel knows exactly what he’s doing with the media, everything he says or does is for a reason. He lets them see & hear what he wants them to & he’s using the media to get reactions from his players too #england #smart

If England get anywhere near the final with this back 4, forget Jesus’ resurrection, it would be the biggest turnaround in history of man. I question Spence & O’Reilly even being full-backs, let alone the best ones in England &…..

I genuinely believe neither Konsa or Guehi would be in a list of Englands top 50 CBs in history. Someone ask me to name 50 better cos I reckon I could 😂 #england #shockingdefence

KP should just let Walker complete the tackle, he had his man caught! or at least try make it look like he’s using his arms. I think a sin-bin was enough considering it’s was head on head but still very much avoidable & cost @QLDmaroons the game without a doubt 🤦🏻
Tolutau Koula came from the field early & did not to return to the game - failing his HIA after this tackle from Kalyn Ponga (that resulted in a send off) Koula will enter the NRL’s concussion protocols with an associated 11 day stand down period - if he is required to follow this he would miss the Sea Eagles next 2 games, as they next play 2 days and 9 days from now.

“Greatest origin comeback ever” fuck off they’ve played against 12 men for more than 20mins 🙄

Wow! Maroons absolutely killing em 👌🏼

Some start from @QLDmaroons 👏🏻

Sam Walker looks nervous, I think Strange will put on a Dearden like debut today whereas Walker gonna struggle & that could be the difference #SOO

If Loiero enters the pitch at any point QLD are doomed 🤦🏻
FINAL TEAMS 🔒

Ethan Strange with ball in hand scares me for QLD, especially after what he did to Munny few weeks back 👀 Walker is a target in defence too. Injuries already hit both sides but I think in-game injuries could play a role today as not much between the sides #SOO #Maroons #QLD #NRL

What a season! safe with 3 to go, Wembley for FA cup semi, unbeaten against reigning champs & beat scum in their own backyard. Now we basically get to choose who gets relegated in our last few games 👌🏼💙💛🤍 #LUFC #MOT #ALAW

Souths doing this to a top 4 team even without Latrell 😳 I’m starting to see them as a real contender for the Comp, especially with Wayne in charge #NRL @SSFCRABBITOHS

This is cool
In this Backyard, it’s “win or go home,” and this crew hasn’t left since the 90's. Where there’s a pitch, there’s a legend. #YouGotThis
