Every single player - the right attitude. Everything that has gone against them was thrown at them - the history of this place, the energy, the altitude. They've gone past all of that and they thoroughly deserved it because that is an incredible performance from start to finish. When they're under the cosh, the manager made the right substitutions. The subs came on, they did their job. What an incredible night - they deserve it England - they've been absolutely superb. Absolutely, absolutely outstanding for the country - down to 10 men, wow. I just thought every single one of them was superb."

🚨 𝗢𝗙𝗙𝗜𝗖𝗜𝗔𝗟: UEFA Statement on the Folarin Balogun case: "Yesterday’s decision to suspend for a probationary period of a year the implementation of the one-match automatic suspension following the red card issued to the player Folarin Balogun crossed a red line. Football, like any other sports, relies on rules, which are the basis for fair, honest and transparent competition. Sometimes rules are open to interpretation. In this case not. A minimum automatic suspension of one match following a red card is not a discretionary option and does not require the decision of a competent body to be enacted. It is a principle embedded in regulations, which cannot be made subject to exceptions, let alone in the middle of a tournament where several other players have been in the same situation and regularly served their suspension. When the certainty of rules is no longer guaranteed by its guardians, the integrity of the game is at stake and the credibility of a competition is undermined. Equally, such decision creates a precedent in the ongoing tournament, where similar situations will now require an equal treatment, to the detriment of the competition. Football is the most loved sport in the world because it is a beautiful game and is trusted because it is played everywhere with the same laws. A tournament is never a pure standalone and, if the tournament in question is the World Cup, it has the power to drive positive or negative consequences on the game as a whole. We express our disbelief at such an unprecedented, incomprehensible and unjustifiable decision."

🎙️ Thomas Tuchel on the Folarin Balogun decision from FIFA: 🗣️ Tuchel: "I think first of all, to be very clear, that it was not a red card. But who overturns this decision and when and on what grounds? Do we get yellow card against Declan Rice back? Does France get the yellow card back for Michael Olise which was not a yellow card? Where does this end?"

Jordan Henderson’s injury slowed down. 😳🤕

🇺🇸 Mauricio Pochettino on Folarin Balogun's one-game ban being suspended by FIFA: 🗣️ Pochettino: "That decision is fantastic. Not only because we have another player but for football."
