I admire Everton's hope that Michael Keane will play for England again by putting "present", even though he hasn't played for England since 2020. #EFC

My theory that England can only win the World Cup if Everton win the FA Cup in a World Cup year strengthens.

Hayden Hackney joins William Sutton on the very small list of Everton players who share their last name with a London borough. #EFC

Football is a simple game. 22 men chase a ball for 120 minutes and at the end, the Paraguayans always win. #GERPAR

I don't think a single person on planet Earth thought before the World Cup started that people would choose to watch Cape Verde v Saudi Arabia over Uruguay v Spain.

A team with a Ballon d'Or winner and an 18-year-old Ballon d'Or runner-up couldn't beat or even score against a team with a 40-year-old goalkeeper who plays in the Portuguese second tier and a Shamrock Rovers defender. The beauty of football. #ESPCPV

Why did no-one come up with the Conference League when Everton were half-decent? #EFC

Has any other team come from 22 goals down to win?

Italy have failed to qualify for the World Cup for the third time in a row. Their last World Cup match was in 2014. Since they won the 2006 final and until (at least) 2030, they will have won only 1 World Cup match, which was against...

I've sat in the East Stand twice and we won 3-0 both times. I should sit here more often! #EFC

The irony of someone called "Goodwin" being a bad loser.

A studs-up tackle is not, and should never be regarded as, less dangerous or violent than a slight hair tug. #EFC

With a name like that, you'd expect him to play for Real Madrid rather than Barcelona.

Congratulations, Eddie Nketiah, on becoming the first player to score an injury-time winner against Liverpool since James Tarkowski.

If 3 members of the panel said it was a penalty but the other 2 said it wasn't, then it wasn't a "clear and obvious" error. #EFC

2 goals up in normal time and in the penalty shootout, and they still lose. Spectacular Spursiness. #SuperCup

Everton have announced a permanent signing of a player from Villarreal for the first time since 2007. And it's the first time they actually signed a player permanently from Villarreal. #EFC

Everton want to sign a Manchester City full-back in the twilight of his career. It worked before... #EFC
