0h poor England. They did play really well, so close, I feel gutted for them

Should've been 3 penalties not 2😒

Two. The first wasn't a penalty, it was outside the box (and reviewed by VAR)

Like the Guinness ad

They are only human, though, and you can tell they care desperately. It takes such courage to step up to take a penalty and I always feel for players who miss (unless it’s against my team, natch…😆 ).

Show quote history

So are surgeons but we are not so cavalier when they fuck it up. I don't think it is too much to expect them to hit the target.

I also hold this a a Southgate fault, Kane against Lloris, already got one, I'd have put a different taker.

Will you all chase me off the thread if I say France? <ducks>

burblish · 10/12/2022 21:06

I really hope Morocco beat France. I’d love it to be a Croatia-Morocco final, but I’d also accept Argentina - anyone but France now.

We did play well tbf in the 2nd half, just couldn't convert those chances.

Yes Wink

Of course I've been watching. It doesn't matter how well a team play. The best team is the team that gets the balls in the net.

I'm really disappointed England didn't win but it's no good saying they were great. They didn't get the ball in the net more times than France. I can't believe it's all over for England again for another 4 years.

Willmafrockfit · 10/12/2022 21:07

Rashford also missed

doorheckk · 10/12/2022 21:08

not as badly as Kane though!

We obviously weren't watching the same game. The French team were diving everywhere and playing so dirty. They were NOT the best team.

cata09x · 10/12/2022 21:08

Defo easier to score a penalty than a free kick haha. Rashford's would've been a very lucky goal if he'd scored.

headstone · 10/12/2022 21:09

Oh dear, only another four years till next time.

doorheckk · 10/12/2022 21:09

I hope Croatia smash the French

doorheckk · 10/12/2022 21:09

sorry Morroco!

YouOnlyCameToSeeEboue · 10/12/2022 21:09

And our "Captain", Kane, sloped off down the tunnel without applauding the fans who had made a great effort to get there and support them.

Henderson, in particular, was far more a captain. Frankly, Kane should never have been captain in the first place.

Willmafrockfit · 10/12/2022 21:10

France had a great goal keeper

doorheckk · 10/12/2022 21:10

maybe he was embarrassed

DuncinToffee · 10/12/2022 21:10

That's both my teams out, and both games had a rubbish ref.

I call a conspiracy Xmas Wink

Mañanarama · 10/12/2022 21:11

Lol, there’s been a police incident / road closure at our local football stadium tonight, and someone just commented:

“Was it the ball landing from Harry Kane’s second penalty?”

YouOnlyCameToSeeEboue · 10/12/2022 21:11

doorheckk · 10/12/2022 21:10

maybe he was embarrassed

He deserves to be, but it's still incumbent on him to do the captain's duties. He's failed on every score...

Willmafrockfit · 10/12/2022 21:11

I am going to support Morocco

xalo · 10/12/2022 21:11

Why do we always get these fucking shit refs?
