The biggest compliment you can pay Harry Maguire today is that he delivered a CB performance in a major tournament Quarter-Final that John Terry, Rio Ferdinand and Sol Campbell & Jamie Carragher never managed

Harry Maguire wins absolutely everything including headers, tackles, corners, Wimbledon, The Voice, The X Factor and The Great British Bake-off. #ENGSWE

Sweden has become a country where billions and billions of dollars are spent on a gender science bureaucracy nightmare that mixes Prussian mass neurosis with North Korean mass psychosis. This madness must be stopped, identity politics from both left and right has to go. #svpol

There was no suggestion of using VAR in the England v Sweden game, mainly because there was no cynical fouls, no diving, no bookings… just two teams playing football fairly. Well done to all.
