  • No knighthood for Southgate this year , what might have been oh well onward and upwards.
  • Classy reaction from Giroud and the French players afterwards

    Close game, could have gone either way. We probably got as far as most people expected but it still hurts.

    Fuck me mate, I’m Scottish but there’s a time and a place. Get a grip.

    Southgates record against the big teams is terrible. He can only really point to the Germany Euro 2020 game, and that's arguably the weakest Germany in a long time.

    Fucking penalties. They always find a way to fuck us.

    A great effort from the team. We were the better side and deserved to win, but this is England at the World Cup. There’s always some new horror waiting around the corner.

    Feel so much for Kane. What a weight to carry with you. He’ll be feeling utterly terrible.

    I hope the tone from the press tomorrow is more pride and sympathy than vitriol and repercussions.

    we we go out with our heads held high, and not with a whimper like in other years. 

    Proud of this team 


  • Still think the worst thing we could do is replace Southgate

    Best team lost tho
    Shut the fuck up now!! - Imagine coming from a country where your highlight is supporting others in the hope we get beaten.

    When you learn to beat the likes of Iran, then we'll listen
    Reckon ref must have really been welsh, such a sad race.

    We dominated that game and lost it. Absolutely sick.

    In other tournaments you could point to management errors for the game getting away from us. 

    Don't think that's the case here. Kane's missed penalty was the killer blow for us rather than a poor sub or two.

    I have a feeling we are heading to a repeat of the 2018 final: Croatia losing to France.

    IMHO 
    pretty poor football from England, great results but poor football for him! 

    Has to be changed this year, would he step down?

    Very good England performance against a team that misses very few chances and will win the tournament comfortably now

    You can’t wipe the smile off my face. 
    Come on mate, I think you've made your point now. I'm sure you're having fun being weird or whatever but it just isn't the time. All you're doing is digging at a bunch of people on an internet forum for no end other than you feel like being a bit of a dick. Take a night off, it's not a good look for you.

    Anyone but Argentina now to be honest.

    Mbappe losing and sulking would be funny too but I'd rather France than Argentina.
  • Gutted. Was in a bar full of Spanish supporting the English, which I was pleasantly surprised about though.

    Griezman's delivery set them apart.
    Giroud does it again.
    We just need a little more belief.
    If we score the penalty I think we go on and win.
    Southgate did little wrong. 
    Close but France are a very good side.

    Good performance against a French side that will probably win the whole thing. So close yet that's knockout football. No one to blame, just a sickened. Horrid way to lost it but what a performance compared to the Croatia and Italy matched previously.

    I wouldn't recommend it. Even if you live there.
  • It's not easy to score two pens in one game, especially when it's your team's keeper. I can't believe they got that second when we were on top.

    I'm resigned now to never seeing us win the World Cup. Never get a better chance.

    We can hold our heads high. Thought we were the better overall team.

    Sets up an unusual semi final which I think will be spicey, France v Morocco. 

    Wasn't to be chaps, at least we didn't go out with a whimper.
