Welcome to another edition of Tweets of the Week. We’re sticking with the name because Xs of the Week sounds godawful.
There was a lot for Football Twitter to stew over this week. The transfer drama finally cooled down a bit, as Chelsea got their main targets while Liverpool actually signed a midfielder!
Elsewhere, England lost the Women’s World Cup final to Spain in Australia and Lionel Messi won his first trophy with Inter Miami.
The best football tweets of the week:

Just look at her happy little face.
The girl couldn't believe that Messi was standing behind her.
The cutest part of the video is Messi was shaking hands with another kid as the kid walked past Messi.

Though Liverpool did end up signing a midfielder in Wataru Endo. And Jurgen Klopp handed him his debut almost immediately after the deal was confirmed.

Klopp believes Endo can follow Milner impact at Liverpool
And after watching how badly Moises Caicedo’s Chelsea debut went, they’re probably feeling pretty good about how things turned out.

Okay, that’s enough now.
If you amortize the result, Chelsea only lost 0.00003 to 0.00001.
