Really disappointing. The team played really well in the 2nd half. Should have taken this to extra time at least.
Unlucky, England.
Good luck, France.

Unlucky England. Did well today. Kane fecked it with the pen
On the balance of play the better team lost.
France were very lucky to get away with a win.

England can travel home with their heads held high. They were the far better team
It really doesn’t want to come home does it?
Maguire didn't deserve this. Playing with a bunch of clowns
The guy with the baguette in the crowd 
I tried telling everyone that at the start!
Just as well Harry Kane's not black.
Cry me a river. The impressive teams are out…
In football, winning is more important then being impressive apparently.
The Daily Mail will probably nominate Rashford for scapegoat anyway for missing that free kick.
England coming home
Not a lot in it Kane tut maguire wft Southgate hhhh genius
This. Plus it's always nice to see England lose for the ensuing meltdown that follows. It's a tradition.
I mean... England played reasonably well. They looked like the better side for long periods.
But... they looked more dangerous than they actually were and frankly, needed two stupid, needless fouls by France to have a chance.
Giroud is incredible. It feels like he always scores with a header.

Gutted to be honest, this tournament was there to be won, let alone this game which we simply should never have lost.
England would have won it if France hadn't.
Doesn’t mean they didn’t play nothing football for 100 minutes. S*** football prevails again
Jackie Grealish there...put in a hell of a shift
At least Sancho won’t miss out on a wc win.
Fecking England never seem to get an upset against a better side, always have to predictably lose and put in a "cute" performance after which everyone predictably says it's "promising" for the next tournament.
Pathetic NT.

England unlucky, as they often are in big matches. Can’t afford to miss penalties though in those circumstances.
supporting Morocco now!
England played well but didn't actually look dangerous from open play at all. Created nothing in that regards.
And at the end of the day if you get two penalties but can't do anything from open play then you can have no complaints.

16 shots and 8 on target to France’s 8 and 5. Can’t complain too much imo.
That's why I have none.
Never mind, let’s get back to the great state of the country. Oh shit….
Well done England. Best team clearly tonight but sometimes it's not enough
Ian Wright tears make this even better
Despite the loss I truly believe that’s the best account England have given of themselves against a big side in a knock out game for a long long time. Same outcome though sadly. A real shame. We really should have won this game.
Fair enough but im pretty sure that Maddison for example brings alot more creativity to the team and 9 times out of 10 he will bring more in a game in that department.
Was thinking the same.
don't care about either team, just wanted giroud out 
We were the slightly better team on the day.
But just don't have the belief to win it.
kane bringing that small club mentality with him to this WC.
Maguire looks devastated he has to come back and warm the bench for us now

John Stones needs kicked in his namesake for lying on the ground like that.
I don't care if he's snapped his fecking tendon. It's a World Cup, you fecking creep off if you have to.
