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

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

old thread

HT and Argentina look very comfortable.

I needn't have worried. The ref has been good, but the French have been dreadful. I don't know if they're still feeling the virus, but the energy levels are a complete contrast.

Soft penalty, but a stupid challenge to make, we all know Di Maria will fall down with a puff of wind.

Look at all the empty seats!

Maybe the French supporters left early

It says on the bbc text feed that the empty seats are the locals who’ll be out for prayers. But yes, I expect if Argentina get another there’ll be lots of empty French seats too.

Not a single shot on target for France yet!

Mac Allister has been so impressive - wonder how long Brighton will be able to keep hold of him after this?

I expect he will be off in the summer and Brighton will get a good price for him.

Clear penalty there for France. I still think Argentina deserve to win this, though.

Mbappe scores from a penalty.

No way. France 2!

Oh my word, Mbappe!

Mbappe again!

Yeeeeesssssss!!!!!!

Ds2 'get in there. Mbappe'.

Wow!

Now things will kick off!

Argentina should have finished the game off instead of wasting time.

8 minutes

This is crazy!

Arrrgh!!

Extra time. Didn't see that coming as France was so poor for 80 minutes.

Great refereeing. He saw it clearly over the line & gave the goal without hesitation or review.

Goal Messi

Well done Messi

This has been the best World Cup final I can remember.
