World Cup 22. England in QTR Finals. Three Lions on a sleigh.

[Oblomov22]

Welcome All. Here we go, again. England in QTR Finals.

old thread

Try being Scottish and never getting anywhere lol. Even though we got into euro 2020 I knew we weren't getting out of the group stages.

Talking of spirits no brandy or calvados. No frog rubbish.

I feel ashamed as my mum’s side of the family is mostly directly French.

Eboue agree with one of your points

Lydia I agree

Yes I too have French relatives.
sadly

Take it you lot are joking with the French stuff?? Jeez...

Let’s see…

I’m not

@ThatshallotBaby oh, okay 😳

So after all the hype about new improved England, it’s the same old story. Out after being beaten in the QFs by the first top class team we faced. Plus ça change…

What do you think? This whole thread has been lighthearted....if you can't see that....

What happened ??

Kane skulked off down the tunnel feeling sorry for himself. He didn't go and thank the fans who'd spent a lot of time and money to go there and support the team. It wasn't a captain worthy effort...

The only positive I can take from tonight is that more people are starting to realise just how much Saka gets fouled in every game!

Yep, reminds me of how he was manhandled by the Italians in the Euros final.

Glad it wasn’t he who missed that penalty.

I think Saka could have done with some protection from his team mates, confront the player who fouled him, confront the ref.

Show some passion, show the opposition we're here to win.

.

That’s what we were saying. We seem too polite.

No fire in the belly.

The French walked all over us and did play dirty some of the time, which earned us 2 penalties.

Apparently Kane is the first England player to miss a World Cup penalty outside of a shootout.

Another record for him.*

*Not a trophy.

Evening all. Rooting for Croatia this evening.

Evening. Same here although I've enjoyed watching Messi this tournament.

That was a good second goal.

Croatia needs to find some inspiration now

Argentina is through to the final.

It was a boring match with 2 good goals.

Sadly, Croatia just ran out of steam after consecutive extra time games. Argentina weren’t brilliant, but a couple of moments of Messi magic were enough to make the difference. They have had an outstanding tournament, though, and can be very proud of themselves.
