2022 World Cup.

So here come all the moronic posts everywhere and in the media about Southgate not being good enough.
And as for the ITV pundits, utter embarrassment. Criticising the officiating and yet every time they went to a professional former referee, he agreed with the decisions given. Be partisan yes, but be realistic.
We must have been watching a different feed. Walton was disagreeing with most of what the ref did or didn't give. ?
 
Well, Premier League starts on just over a couple of weeks, so I will get back into football then.

I have absolutely no desire to watch any of the remaining sides. Will be happy enough for Morocco or Croatia to win, but if they do, the football won't be pretty.
 
So many positives to take out of the whole tournament.
Thought this was a great chance to bring the trophy home.
No blame can be put on the manager imo,we’ve been solid from the start,yes a few blemishes but who hasn’t.
Went 1-0 down and fought back,fought back again,great spirit in the team and it seems GS has got them all believing.
Pickford once again showed he’s easily No1
Saka,Bellingham world class and should be in the tournament WC team.
Feel for Kane but when you’re not scoring many in open play you’ve got to score.
Shame but now on the Morocco train.
 
If he had to make a sub, Rashford should have been on. Surprised Saka came off, even more surprised that Sterling came on.

We had their defence on toast but weren't brave enough. France did enough of the ugly stuff and know how to win these type of games...we don't sadly.
 
As bad as the ref was, can we stop blaming him for England not winning.

Games are won/lost in moments and whilst i dont think France were better than England, they were just that bit more clinical/lucky in those moments.

I feel the same but know I'll watch the 3 remaining matches and probably hate every one!!

Fine margins decide these games. We had opportunities, it just didn’t go our way.

Some of the crap written on here by the armchair experts is embarrassing.
 
Spot on. I thought England played very well in all honesty.


Played ok for sure, bit slow and static at times (as often are), had a lot of success down the right hand side, less so the left going forward, a few mistakes at the back too. On another night that game goes our way for sure but wasnt to be

Big Mirrors in your place then ?

There were a few key moments for both teams - France took them , England didn’t - Kane when he was through on Loris and then the penalty , got to take those in the big game against the top teams and it’s something that England haven’t done for decades now

It’s no different to 86 , 90 , 96 etc - always short against the better nations.

That’s three missed chances in the last three tournaments and it should be time for someone new to come in and look to do things differently
