Day 19: Morocco vs Portugal | England vs France (QF 3&4)

[Kaos]

So 3 s*** smash and grab merchants and Argentina is what we have left in this tournament

France are holders.

 

[acnumber9]

All this talk of how unlucky England have been. Have they created a chance in open play?

 

[Crackers]

Is he really bringing on Graelish in the 96th minute FFS

Weirder sub strategy than Ole

 

[Zlatan 7]

? England have dominated. They have cut in behind plenty of times. Fortunately for France, Southgate refused to bring on Rashford earlier.

I thought loris has had a breeze

 

[Klopper76]

This is done. Grealish has about 60 seconds to impact the game.

 

[Pscholes18]

Now he puts in Grealish?

 

[Nick7]

Southgate ignoring in form players really is some of the most baffling management I’ve seen.

 

[Nonameisknown]

Absolutely stupid to roll around when you are losing.

 

[RoyH1]

Who thinks bringing Sterling on would improve us? What an awful manager this guy is and it beggars belief people think he is any good.

And Mount too. Saka/Fouden were giving France all sorts of problems

 

[Ramshock]

Mekano means soft in Croatian. Don't really know why it made me laugh.


Grealish on now!?!?!?!?

Oh aye Peaky Blinder on to save the day.

 

[TheGame]

Who thinks bringing Sterling on would improve us? What an awful manager this guy is and it beggars belief people think he is any good.

Him and Mount, why not bring on Grealish and Maddison.

 

[tjb]

Most of the time it was forced by England's active play. Noone says it will be easy against Argentina though.

Henderson was sensational today. I can see how Liverpool press so well.

However, France needs to swap out Upemacano. He's the reason why France looked troubled when playing out of the back.

 

[Lecland07]

Pretty much this. This is an average performance by France. Still can't beat them

Why can't people just admit that England played extremely well? Perhaps England stopped France from playing well? Mbappe hasn't been able to do anything today and people were saying he, and France, would destroy England.

 

[jeff_goldblum]

France are lucky half the good teams have been taken out of this because they're nothing special.

 

[Zlatan 7]

Thought England played pretty well, tbf.

Played well by keeping the ball but they haven’t been threatening

 

[lsd]

Name more convincing teams at this WC so far.

France
Argentina
Brazil
Croatia
Morocco
Holland
Spain
Poland
Saudi Arabia
USA
Portugal

 

[Lecland07]

WTF is Sterling doing?

Did nothing and wasted time.

 

[Sly]

Put the ball in the box ffs

 

[duffer]

Weirder sub strategy than Ole

Stones came off injured. He wouldn't have made a sub otherwise.

 

[Andycoleno9]

That was foul on Mbappe

 

[UweBein]

People screaming at Southgate even though he set up England brilliantly, always need a scapegoat

Brilliantly? This is an easy win for France. Scored the goals at will.

 

[Redfrog]

Both teams deserved to be at least in the semis. Shame one of them must buy tickets tonight.

It doesn’t matter. I mean, it’s change nothing if it’s quarters or semis.

 

[Ramshock]

Bringing on subs with seconds to go hahaha

 

[RacingClub]

Grealish subbed on in the 96th minute. Southgate is really ripping the hole out of you lot

Yeah he has to be on a wind up.

 

[ha_rooney]

Can England do a Holland…

 

[KirkDuyt]

DO A FECKING HOLLAND

 

[Sylar]

Use Netherlands free kick now

 

[duffer]

Gotta let Mount take this.

 

[Vidyoyo]

Shoot!

 

[Kazi]

Smash this in Rashford

 

[avgp_1]

Well done Harry

 

[Stadjer]

Better not copy our free kick routine!

 

[Sly]

Cmon Maguiredona

 

[Gycraig]

Please god

 

[mitchmouse]

maguire thinking he was george best!

 

[KirkDuyt]

Sub on Koopmeiners

 

[NoLogo]

France really isn't all that great at defending, are they? A bit surprised they conceded so few goals so far.

 

[Cloud7]

Ooooohhh dramatic. Who is gonna take it?

 

[MrMarcello]

One last chance for Ingerlund.

 

[Houdini]

Silly foul. As Maguire would gonna score from taht position
