Sky reporting Arg players just unfurled a banner about the Falklands.

Bloody hell, that's really not funny.

People are making it out England get to the semis every tournament and then bottle it - that is simply not true

yes they got to the Euros final last time, and also bottled it

ComeOnEngland12 · 15/07/2026 22:32

Roony is correct too many defenders you also think someone else will get it

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!

Show quote history

He's German isn't he? Why tf should he sing the England national anthem? It's neither here nor there, he wants them to win because it's his job as a professional manager to take them as far as he can, not because he supports the England national team.

But not as people are saying that we have reached so many semis and finals and lost them. It is good that we got to the semis.

well chat gpt is right.

Weeks ago I was watching a video on tiktok. lots of people were saying that if you tell various chat gpt apps that it is 2027, and then ask it who won the 2026 world cup, all the apps say that Argentina won it

So why watch it?

I honestly think Tuchel gave it away thanks to poor tactics. He will get slated. Taking off Gordon and Rice was ridiculous. To replace them with defenders and leave Kane and Bellingham without support was the error. Otherwise I believe we would have won. I suspect the players will feel this later as well. If I were Kane I’d be asking Tuchel “ Why did you not have more confidence in us?” Very disappointing from Tuchel in the end.

Show quote history

why oh why wasn’t O’Reilly and Rashford on from the start? All credit to Djed Spence, he has played brilliantly, at least in first half.

Compared to the oily Argentine team definitely better looking.

I’m Scottish but gutted for England. I really wanted them to do it. Hoping Spain win now and that Mbappe gets the golden boot. I think Wayne Rooney is pretty decent as a pundit.

That would be Iran.

Yes. Need equal amount of attack and defence.

Riiight.... because Rooney played in so many semi finals for England 🙄

All those pundits from the so called "golden generation" couldn't have dreamed of the results this England team has had the past 4-5 tournaments.

Do they? Do they?! Well we will definitely keep them now.

All these experts have absolutely never played well for England at tournaments. This current England team deserve so much credit for their tournament performances. They put England back into serious conversations for titles rather than being a joke like in the past. Only respect for these current players.

Those useless experts were complete losers for England.
