Let the conversation continue.

No bank holiday 😩😢

5 at the back with 30 minutes to go, inviting pressure was never going to work against Argentina

Gutted.

But with a seriously clean house.

I'm sick as a parrot.
Well done Pickford you did your best.

@placemats thank you for all your hard work and thanks to all for your excellent company.

Viva Espana.

still looks like he just stumbled out of my local

Fourth in the world isn’t terrible , but I wanted them to win the whole thing really
oh well !

Why is messi still on the screen, looking like hes won a punt on the slot machine in the pub

The fucking tiny bellend

It was ridiculous, the only way we were going to win was by attacking for a second goal. If we genuinely couldn't get out of our own half for that long rather than it being a tactic then they deserved to win anyway.

Yep

Pickford is my player of the tournament.

There has never been a Spain Argentina final. Objectively, that is tasty.

64 years of hurt…😖

Well, we got further than I was expecting and at least we didn’t lose to Germany on penalties!

Spain have a better defence so I wouldn't be so sure. Argentina have conceded 7 goals in the world cup so far, Spain just one.

🇪🇸 🇪🇸

We've been in the semis time after time, it doesn't mean anything

but why were the fouls allowed in the first half?

Lost for words. Really thought England would win.

I have a Spanish football tee shirt from a Eurovision Song contest party. I was picked to be Spain!

I agree

Good luck Spain 🇪🇸
Rooting for rhem

What is wrong with you??!

Yeah he was he was amazing

No thanks

#CurseOfJagger

Ach that was a tough watch - I'm sorry for you all ☹️

I’ll be watching them both 🙈
