@Ginburee that was Cruz I think

Whatever 😅

The commentator just BROKE JUDE BELLINGHAM'S HEART by telling him he thought Tuchel was disappointed in the team's performance. You could literally see his face fall

Awful interviewer, trying to sow discord between the manager and his team.

With a smattering of German genes.

For some reason…

Is it Cruz who is a singer or a guitarist or something ? He seems the most interesting out of the children.

Can we keep the chat to actual soccer here, please? 🙄

What the hell is the interviewer playing at? Hope the semi is on bbc

Yes, that was a very awkward hug for the cameras indeed!

Soccer?

They don’t need a split in the team at this point
The semis will be difficult enough as it is!

Football!

Row row row your boat gently down the stream. Merrily merrily merrily merrily the world cup's now a dream.

Yep. The interviewer knew he’d just been schooled by Tuchel and so decided to do that…!

Of course Roy thinks players should challenge the manager 🤣

Kudos to the fans for some of those outfits in that heat!

That was an unbelievably shitty comment to Jude at the end there.

Like England.

Yes, well rehearsed! I also saw VB throw herself on to David just as they came into shot. Talk about a consummate professional!

I think that's my one disappointment of the night - not seeing the Row

Mind, was I the only person who saw lots of empty seats?

I predicted a 2-1 win - just saying 😇

I missed that. Who said what?

I missed the end of the match ..bloody carbon monoxide monitor went off 😭
Well done England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Sure you did!

Mass European immigration encouraged by the government in the 19th century (to ‘whiten’ the population) meant that the indigenous and African population was quickly outnumbered. I think they now only make up about 2% of the population.
