[Football] World Cup - Day Twenty One... Time for the boys to do us proud.

[Solid at the back]

A game of fine margins. Foul on Saka leads to the 1st goal, clear penalty not given first half. 2nd half we were the better team, bad defending for 2nd goal, what a cross by Griezmann, lucky to be on the pitch though. Missed penalty by Kane, should have let somone else take it especiallywhen its ur club team mate in goal.

Well done England, u did us proud. Only 18 months until we go through the same emotions again.

I've seen a clip of this supposed penalty. Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't fouls conceded on the outside of the area called free kicks or has this rule been updated recently?

Ah, the working class.

How are they, I wonder?

The Daily Mail actually thought Sir Michael Take was for real.

I think if that wasn't the final nail in the coffin for any credibility they have then nothing ever will be.

Quite, the foul was inside the area.

No it wasn't. Contact happens on the outside of the area.

or put another way a free kick would have been given if it was outside. The beef is neither happened

I was worried for a moment that the final was on bloody Sunday.

It is, exactly two weeks before New Years Day.

Didn't he used to be the lead singer in Fine Young Cannibals?

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Maybe if we picked Ivan Toney those penalties would have been dispatched

You bet!

I don't mind who wins it now. I have nothing against any of the last 4. I'm just delighted Brazil are out.

Morocco or Argentina for me. It will be quite surreal if Brighton has a World Cup winner.

It would be great to see an Albion player starting a World Cup Final.

Even is he is just a £30m future Inter signing

England played well tonight on another day would of won that game . But the main difference at this level as in the semi in 2018 when Kane hit the post at 1-0 you must take your chances . France had 3 decent and scored 2 England had about 6 and scored once
That’s the difference between a good team in England and a great team in France

Call me a mentalist conspiracy theorist if you like, but this tournament has been rigged from the start for Messi & Argentina to win it. Wouldn't even be surprised if it was agreed as part of the terms of getting him to PSG.

A passing resemblance certainly - the funny bit was what was written about him in Wiki by angry England fans who in their hundreds started altering his biography (as fast as Wiki mods could deleted the comments) to say he was under investigation for denying Kane a penalty (well I thought it was funny )

Nothing to do with ballooning a penalty over the bar then?

That certainly didn’t help

The foul was on the line. Thats a penalty.

Initial contact happens outside the box, the foul is on the line.

It clearly carried on inside the area, as all the replays have shown.
