I didn't get the government alert yesterday as we haven't had one heatwave in NI, but it's so funny seeing people losing it because a Welsh message came out first in Wales. Imagine that, Welsh being used in Wales. How dare they 😂

Absolutely horrendous news coming out of Portugal. Cycling can be such a dangerous at times. My thoughts are with the Tarling family at this time.

Just as Adidas were starting to release some quality kits and training wear we get this. Genuinely looks like something you'd pick up at a dodgy market abroad for £5. What have you done FAW 😬

Dreadful game but Spain well and truly deserved that. Classless from Argentina. Horrible bunch that got what they deserved.

I thought Tuchel was a master tactician. Dreadful and they got what they deserved. Huge credit to Argentina 🇦🇷 as they were superb after going down a goal. Thank god it's not coming home again.

Dreadful tactics again from Martínez. Wasted a super talented Belgium team and now done the same with Portugal. No idea how he keeps getting such big international jobs.

I totally get that when you are a smaller team you sometimes have to employ negative tactics, but that was disgraceful from Paraguay and helped in no end by the worst refereeing performance I've seen in a long time. For them not to get one yellow card is an absolute disgrace.

See you can kick someone in the head now and VAR doesn't intervene. Dreadful officiating continues in this world cup.

No point in having VAR if you are not going to pull the ref up on not awarding the clearest penalty you'll ever see, and probably a red card. Well done Ghana, defended superbly all game 👏👏

Superb Cabo Verde 🇨🇻 Fully deserved a point there. Spain back to the dreadful tiki taka football and relying on a half fit teenager to try and get them the win. Lack of depth up front will cost them.

Love the @giroditalia and always sad to see it come to an end. Not the best race GC wise, but some great stages and Italy was as stunning as always 🇮🇹 #Giro

Gutted. Clear penalty in extra time that should have been given.
