Let the conversation continue.

Yeah if we dont win, I want Spain to demolish Argentina

theyre sneaky too. i think they try to get a goal just before it goes to extra time. they plan the timing

Pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease

Get up. Stop playing for time. Bloody arty goalkeeperr

Ooh the other half of the pitch. Haven’t seen that for about 1/2 an hour.

Defending far too deep. Looked great then as soon as we scored - shit.

Yeah, they played so so well in that first half. Scored a goal and went on the defence

So ridiculous, why did we decide defending a one goal lead was the best strategy against Argentina. For half an hour while they constantly attacked us.

Where have Jude & Harry been?!

Do we think tuchel will get the sack?

Dear God, last chance to redeem yourself.

Well planning the timing is good football… less so the rugby tackles, elbows into the eye and studs up the leg

Bit bloody late!

TT will probably resign.

Absolutely.

England fans will need to be careful leaving the game as the Argentinians will be nasty louts like their players (obviously not all of them!)

🤣🤣🤣

He was doing so well..until second half?

He will be critical of the way England played.

Why? He got them to the semis which is pretty good really.

i’m spanish and my heart would have been broken in two if it had been an England-Spain final, but i would have been happy with either team winning .

i effing hate Argentina, they’re one of those teams, like Italy usually, that are blessed with last minute luck.

ill be sick to my stomach if Argentina win on Sunday.

tuchel won’t resign. Semi in his first tournament still very impressive. But I’m not impressed with his tactics at all.

Well that’s it then.

Exactly the Argies are the better players their subs were good we should have had them on before now. Cmon Spain !!!

Probably but it’s always the same regardless who is in charge
