We were the better team but that doesn't matter. We bottle it everytime when it comes to these games. Typical England.
Day 19: Morocco vs Portugal | England vs France (QF 3&4)

- Start date
You laughed at the idea of making a sub late on. I appreciate this great night for you but didn't you notice Stones went off injured?
Joke that Maddison didn't get more minutes. Should have been on that pitch before Mount and Sterling.
BTW, saka was seriously good in that game.
Varane
Unlucky I thought for England, they were the better team. Had the momentum in their side and created some chances, no clear but ones though.
Surely favorites to defend their title.

Listen at the end of the day Southgate is the best England manager since whatshisface in 66. Give him a longer contract I say.
France more clinical, fair play.
Nah, England had the Kane one on one, the Maguire header, the Saka chance and two penalties. France had the two Giroud chances and one half chance for Mbappe and smacked in a worldie (which shouldn’t have stood).
Hernandez's brainfart could have killed the game. Would have been all England's momentum. Thank God Harry Kane has never won anything in his life.
Well played England, France were just clinical. You have to wonder what could've been if Rashford was on at 60 mins when the game was stretched.
Nope not a single chance
Good lord man which match were you watching?!Varane
Cheers Harry.
instead of losing on penalties, they lose because he missed a penalty.
thats 30 minutes back for everyone

At least they scored from open play. England offered nothing except set set pieces.
The better team without a doubt.

That’s football unfortunately

I couldnt give a feck if he jumped off the Titanic. Im saying someone like Rashford should have started that game.
Southgate has nothing to be ashamed of. England played well.
Varane
Yeah don't want to give him too much shit, it happens. He must feel absolutely terrible right now
Great game. Unlucky England!
feck is it with us and penalties.
So no Battle of Falklands?
We always say that.
Factually incorrect.
exactly, he deserves a new contract.
Kane has too much Tottenham in his veins, big game players play for big game clubs.
Watch Rashford be crucified in the media for missing the freekick at the end, while Kane walks away with no criticism for missing the pen.
Shit ref. An opening goal that should’ve been chalked off. A penalty we should’ve had. England the slightly better team. Lucky winner off Maguire’s shoulder. Kane bottling it. Spirit of Chris Waddle. Time for Southgate to give someone else a bash at it.
Agree with you that it was a good performance from England, but wouldn’t say we deserved to win it. Other than the first penalty, Kane wasn’t really at his best and we had very little luck with the ref tonight. Every time the French moved up the pitch you just sensed a real threat.
No, that wanks cancelled mate.
Had to be Maguire too that Giroud beat for that header.
Hear hear. Did Southgate ever win against a strong side in KO?
List them for me. They’d a couple of shots from long range and two penalties. What match were you watching?Nope not a single chance
You can only have so many "miracles". Seriously though, their squad is diminished
Subs too late, giving Grealish, Rashford, Sterling not enough time to influence things, persisted with Henderson and Rice, so many managerial mistakes.
England played well, but i don't think they were better though
They were about to score the equalizer from a gifted penalty from Theo Hernandez.

Factually correct.
What a very strange post this is. I can only guess you've been on the booze, enjoy!
