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

[Kinky Gerbil]

Appalling defending for the second and equally bad missed pen

As soon as we scored we switched off and sat back

 

[jcdenton08]

Let the usual recriminations begin from England fans and gloating from haters continue. Can’t wait for the Albion!

 

[dazzer6666]

Oh, well. Back to the cricket.

Good point

 

[Butch Willykins]

Well played boys. Can’t be too disappointed with that performance

 

[KZNSeagull]

Bloody ITV

 

[AmexRuislip]

Disagree. We were on top second half and French looked no threat for long periods. Feel this is a game we should have won.

Should have won, but didn't!
All the hype was about Mbappe, but Girou was the real threat.

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

Tough that. I'm a big England critic but that was unlucky. Should've had a pen. Griezmann probably won it in the first. We struggle with world class intelligent players.
Oh well.

To be fair, France struggled with Saka, unfortunately the arse hat that was masquerading as a referee let them get away with kicking lumps out of him.

 

[portlock seagull]

We could do with a few more cliches and analogies from Sam Matterface…what a f***ing helmet.

Not just me then!!

After the Senegal game, I thought we'd achieved my pre-tournament expectations of QF.

Losing to the reigning champions is no disgrace. And we played very well. Well enough to win it.

But we just fall short once again.

With the right half of the draw in 2018, a home 2020 Euros and Morocco waiting in the SF in 2022, it's another missed opportunity.

For Southgate who's contracted until after the next Euros, this might be the time to go.

I think he's taken us as far as he can. His tournament record is excellent. He's a fine human being.

But a fresh face with a new tactical outlook that gets the best out of our attacking riches and picks in-form players would be welcome.

 

[Shooting Star]

Literally cannot believe that. We were better than them. Their goal came out of nowhere. Absolutely gutted.

 

[allystrat]

Should have won, but didn't!
All the hype was about Mbappe, but Girou was the real threat.

Yes, and it’s so f’in frustrating!

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Oh, well. Back to the cricket.

That’s like replacing a four course Sunday roast with a couple of cream crackers.

 

[AmexRuislip]

An open note to the nation:
Please don't ask Danny Murphy his opinion. Thanks.

 

[The Fits]

We are too defensive though. Balls to all this team spirit bollocks. We need to be braver.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Literally cannot believe that. We were better than them. Their goal came out of nowhere. Absolutely gutted.

It was their one moment of class in the second half. That's what makes champions and I'm afraid we couldn't match it.

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

Not just me

Not just me then!!

The bloke is an utter helmet.

 

[St Leonards Seagull]

I honestly thought England were the better team, unlucky with a few critical decisions.
Mbappe was well handled, he didn’t do much.
4 more years and development of players, they’ll be right in the mix.
I can’t begin to imagine how good Bellingham is going to be in a few years.

 

[oldboyroy]

Were the better side but 2 quality goals won it for them and a bad miss from Kane. Just want underdogs Morocco to win it now or Ally Mac's Argentina

 

[pb21]

Can't expect to beat France, the current world champions, but we gave it a very good go, on another day could have won. Oh well.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Funny how other country's players on elimination in tears and in absolute tatters. England players... Meh, GS... Meh.

No, there was no emotion from the England players at all was there. Not sure what you were watching.
