Let the conversation continue.

Argentina vs Egypt was a clue

doesnt matter if its all men playing. women comment on mens sport all the time

I love being from a non football-playing country, all the drama and saltiness it hilarious to watch

Yes,typical Argentina. Always come out on top. Always by playing dirty. If England did the same, they'd have been pulled up on it and the other team would have been given way more penalties.

COME ON SPAIN!

Now for the weeks of analysis of what went wrong 😭

Same as me 😂😂

no one cares

If he can’t be arsed to sing the national anthem then he shouldn’t be the England manager. He criticised the team for their performance in the last game and that probably didn’t help. Miserable sod. Yeah sack him!

How are your kids doing? Hopefully not too heartbroken x

Who cares if it's all men commentating? Why does it matter?

@BeSassyOpalSquid totally agree ! Then tried to get rashford on too late !
We were defending against the best we should have been proactive

He is, even though he annoys me, he is right.

I agree, i think it should be mandatory for the team to sing the anthem! (Not being political i hope)

Nobody cares, honestly

Yep, a prime minister soon and he’ll be about as useful as a chocolate teapot I suppose.
its just shit , but been here before and always the euros to look forwards to , two years to go !

Here's harry

i think its more heartbreaking to lose at the late stages.

which happens to us a lot

When the match ended, mumsnet FROZE for me for a good few mins 😄

Kane went missing this match

That's what I thought. He slated them, and bashed them, so this may have resulted in them thinking 'fuck this shit' and not playing their best.

I think he needs sacking too.

I don’t think so. Tuchel wasn’t wrong and he did defend them against the criticism from the interviewer. All Tuchel said really was that they didn’t play their best. And he wasn’t wrong. If they couldn’t take that or they didn’t already know that they wouldn’t be playing sport at this level.

Argentina?

Ahhh Kane ❤️

🙄

There was one pregnant woman commenting yesterday who was really pissing me off

Acting condescending towards her female colleague
