Pep has praised him incredibly highly too. He hasn't had a great tournament, but is a fabulous little player.

I agree with a lot of that, but think Rice has been really good for England. I have been very impressed with him. Bottom line in all this is, we have played some good football, but would have been expected to top our group and would have been expected to beat Senegal. We have merely got to...

I said he would miss it before he took it. As he stepped up. A few others on here said the same. It just didn't feel right. I also said he would probably blast it and if he did, it would probably go over the bar. You do whatever it takes to win. Any other keeper, then definitely Kane, without...

This tells you everything. We just don't have the bottle, nous, belief or confidence to go any further right now. Remember when Spain were perennial losers. Tournament after tournament. I hope it will come good for England, but we just don't quite have the belief in ourselves Had we won...

Yes, but then that in turn was the reason he maybe shouldn't have taken the second one. There will be no other goalkeeper out there in the world who has faced more pens against Harry Kane than Lloris. They must practise them pretty much every day in training. Pretty clear that the French...

To be honest, I would have given the pen to the likes of Bellingham. I honestly don't think Kane would have been labelled a bottler. It was just an option. Had it not been Kane's own club goalkeeper in goal, then yes, 100% Kane. Every time. But I did say to myself as soon as we were awarded...

Exactly! I really felt that he just would not score, because he thought he had to do something different, as Lloris knows him inside out.

Yup, agreed Just don't have the mentality for it.

I am pleased with the performance overall, but we are just not winners are we. That comes from having a winning mentality and I just don't think we have the confidence in ourselves. Lack the belief.

Not gutted at all to be honest. Too old in the tooth now and seen the same thing so many times. Half expected it. And this is coming from someone who watched the 1970 World Cup and saw us throw a 2 goal lead against the Germans to lose 3-2. Too many times now. Just doesn't pain me now so much...

Grrrrrr Mount!

Just had a feeling he would miss.

You know what and this is contentious, I would have let someone else take that second pen. Always knew it was going to be much tougher to score another after the first.

Come on!!!!

That could be it I think. Hope not, but the French will not try and kill the game

I think we have done okay. France do look dangerous, but I think we have been more than just in the game. Should have had a penalty too. Some players not quite at their best, but we have 45 mins now to turn this round. I would consider subbing Henderson. He's just been a bit slow.

That's nuts.

Foul, foul, foul.

C'mon England. This is your chance to really shine on the world stage.

I am trying to get hold of her now. See if she still wants one (because that was last week's flavour of the month 🤪)
