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

[TottonSeagull]

Another Southgate defeat to a decent side? Every time we come up against anyone half decent we fail. A decent coach would have won something with this team. Hopefully the end of the Croydon Cock Womble!

Back to the proper stuff! UTA

 

[Beach Hut]

Let the trolls out, Harry or Gareth to be blamed

 

[rebel51]

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

That's it in a nutshell

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Let the trolls out, Harry or Gareth to be blamed

If you can't blame anyone you can acclaim in different circumstances, it makes no sense.

 

[Butch Willykins]

That was a million times better than the shite we were served up as England fans from 2001-2016.

We gave it a good go, it just wasn’t quite enough tonight.

 

[studio150]

Always lose on ITV
Never beat a decent side
QF is really the best we can achieve (unless we get a lucky path as in Russia)

At least we can now concentrate on the Charlton game

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

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

What did we create in open play?

Hugo pulled off 2 good saves, 1 each half.

Toothless

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

I thought that was a fair result. France have good technique, some star quality but they also have weaknesses. They had enough to do a job on England though. I have always said Maquire and Pickford are the weaklinks and both were exposed for the goals tonight. Once again England come up short when they mix with anyone ranked top 10.

I’d Iove a Morocco Argentina final.

 

[Zeberdi]

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

Yeah - not sure how much Monday morning quarterbacking I can stand

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

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

True.

 

[Wardy's twin]

Another person not always in love with England but thought they were the better team tonight. The referee made some very questionable decisions but you have to take your chances -Maguires header and the penalty need to go in or at least force a save. Our boy to score winner in the final for me.

 

[Icy Gull]

I am no Southgate fan but no way am I blaming him for the latest edition of “glorious defeat”. Quality finishing from France and a shit ref along with a Kane penalty failure . Shit happens

 

[Wrong-Direction]

My dad (SIMMOSAYS) has a picture of Kane diving against us on his wall. Laminate the ****, hate him.

 

[HalfaSeatOn]

Fine margins. Impressive step up in second half. Come on Argentina and Mac Allister but probably lost to the eventual winners.

The ref got the big calls correct but it was a difficult game to manage; both nations contributed to this.

Nope, we were not better than them I’m afraid, 2 very good goals from France, we hit row Z with a penalty

 

[Eeyore]

Forecasting an eventual England defeat to France in the quarter finals of this tournament was about the same as saying it might rain this month.

No, we were better than them.

 

[Gun shot]

Oh well.

Oh well, I suppose it's back to that mundane task of supporting the Albion.
