Jeez don't say that I am finding in hard to forget about it. Definitely gonna be a sleepless night thinking what IF
Whyyyy did he change run up on that second one,damn it letting his club teammate get in his head at the wrong time.
That’s exactly why he changed the run up, his head was simply gone for the second penalty
with hindsight it sounds great now to say why wasn’t a 2nd penalty taker thought of in this scenario?…..it’s Harry Kane, before the miss, Most would have said he’s probably got this
The first pen was unsaveable imo. Just bury it same side.

Well that’s a good post and I agree with most you said. But I just didn’t feel England was going to pull it off, it lacked a spark to me, something that France did have today. Despite being dominated I think France generally felt ok with it. They were still able to produce good counterattacks. It was reminiscent of the game vs Belgium 4 years earlier. Belgians felt hard done by but in the end France was quite comfortable for most of the game.
I name Shaw as lacking that spark for example. He lost a few duels in the air where he didn’t even jump, Foden disappeared in the 2nd half when England was at their best. Saka was both good and bad. He got dispossessed a lot and the ref never saw a fault. Let this happen to the Argentines and they roll around for 30sec making the ref nervous.
Stuff like that is simply needed imo if you want to go far.
It is always something with England BUT who knows maybe the players lacked the necessary experience, they’re young.
Keep in mind though this was practically a B side for France with all their injuries.
Those 50/50 games never go in favor of England and there must be a reason for that. For me it a lack of self believe. The fans have the same problem. The “ it’s coming home” chant is just a way of coping with failure tournament after tournament, the fans don’t believe in success either.
In Europe football fans say those English fans are arrogant but that is not how I see it, it is a trauma and the players have it too.
Yep, could've told Lloris where he's going to shoot and would've still scoredThe first pen was unsaveable imo. Just bury it same side.
I think Foden should be eyeing that kind of role.Griezmann sensational in that #8 role too. We didn’t get a hold of him all game.
If Foden was meant for that, he'd be doing it at City...I think Foden should be eyeing that kind of role.
Shame, but I did have the feeling he'd miss after scoring first one, especially as it was as you say against his club teammate.Whyyyy did he change run up on that second one,damn it letting his club teammate get in his head at the wrong time.

Giroud goal not on Maguire. He had to react late due to Stones not picking up?Close game. Upa with several brainfarts, Maguire with one (the Giroud goal). Kane is not to blame, he was under huge pressure. At the end of the day, keepers were the difference.
