End of an era with Fox Football as the rights period comes to a close. A joy to call more than 600 games of football on Fox Sports. Thank you to everyone in the team… and most importantly thanks to the players who provided me with so many memories over the past 15 years…

1 percenter in two point game: Hammer could have improved conversion angle on his try (conversion missed by a whisker). Compare with Fonua-Blake awareness to improve angle on his try. What a game!!! #TONvSAM

Will Ashcroft one of the greatest players ever! Clear best on! Should have 3 Norms. How often did a touch of his lead to something good/great?! All Australian selectors & Norm Smith panel have had a mare! Umpires incorrectly pinged him too. Switch on folks - watching greatness!

So did the Knights… 3&0 on captains challenges (and would’ve won another for Martin knocking it away from Gagai). Teams may need more captains challenges…?

Great advert for not “taking the 2” by the Knights… last time they did (v Manly) they got thumped from that point on… #nrlfinals

Great advert for a daytime Grand Final…

How you enjoying this @TheIFAB - players trying to ignite attacks being rugby tackled off the ball because refs can’t go back and issue yellow cards once they’ve played advantage!!!! #WorldCupFinal

All that is wrong with football and @TheIFAB tweaks. Refs can’t come back and award yellow cards for yellow card offences (like they used to) if they play advantage. So sometimes ref stops promising attacks because they want (and need) to punish yellow card offences instantly!

I remember Maradona doing similar against Oz many decades ago. "Weak" foot cross dropped on a dime. It's a privilege to witness.

Lionel Messi crosses better with his right boot than just about every Englishman on their preferred boot… and therein lay a key difference in the semifinal… #quality #goat

To do it twice!!! Fair play Egypt. Two glorious counters against sloooow Argentina. 2-nil.

Agreed. Tagliafico jumps (no longer naturally runs) to his right, away from line of ball - to land in between Egyptian defenders legs - effectively initiating contact… no penalty

Never a penalty to Argentina!

Remember suggesting Western Sydney use this song when they started up… turn sound down for “you’re my Wanderers….” But others thought 60s classic “the wanderer” by Dion was a better option… #alrighty

Would love to see Mbappe watching the penalties given by same ref in #mexeng as #frasen #Mbappe this should’ve been a pen…

Good Decision by Ref. No Penalty. Feeling sorry for Mbappe 😭 #Senegal #France

Same ref also blew HT with France preparing to take corner… but two corners for Mexico after stoppage time elapsed today… “all we want is consistency…” #reffing

France would’ve just rugby tackled him behind play 35 metres from goal… play on - no yellow

How do you not track Bellingham from midfield....should never have had a free header like that. Saka put it on a platter. #MEXENG #WorldCup
