I just feel like we are playing scared and nervous. We are so much better than this. They're just a lot calmer than us and now being 1-0, can afford to be.

There's only a goal in it. It is nowhere near over, but we need a much better second half.

France have been on a completely different level so far.

France aren't that much better than us here. Need something to settle our nerves and the ref to see a few decisions in their half rather than taking the easy ones in ours. We need to be a bit more fluid on the ball and maybe hit a few tackles the way they have. Overall a goal that came from not a lot other than a moment of excellence and not many other chances.

you have a thing about Southgate which is fair enough I’m sure he’ll go anyway - let’s get Potch in and we’d where we end up

Trying to work out what’s missing. Kane trying to drag us up pitch. Saka more involved than Foden but not strong enough. Rice keeps running us into trouble, Bellingham only decent midfielder. I would consider Grealish early on.

Their defence s little suspect but we not moving them around enough. Foden anonymous and saka too weak.

Possibly the younger ones getting more affected by not getting decisions.
Definitely needs a personnel switch.

Were they at that point though? And we made hard work of it. We probably drew the eventual winners this tournament so bad luck there to be fair. As usual it’s the over inflated expectations that cause disappointment

No no ,sorry mate ,been very fair about our performance so far , my opinion of the game I feel is quite accurate ? Do you not agree ?

We're too slow in possession, a bit predictable, look a bit scared , and are better than what we're showing .

Absolutely nothing to do with my opinion of Southgate

I think it's shit or bust time. He needs to bring on a maverick sooner rather than later and fortunately we have one in Maddison. Playing ponderous football at the back and hoping for a lucky break is even more of a gamble then shaking things up. Show some balls Southgate..

I actually think we’ve been decent. Very questionable officiating (putting it kindly) has not helped at all.

England being slow and predictable doesn't alter the fact that France have also done fuck all but have 1 shot that so happened to beat T rex arms

We've had more shots and possession

Foden's not international class and we're missing Sterling, who was more worried about his precious things than winning the World Cup.

I am curious @CJ_covblaze Can you enlighten us? How do the Argentina fans get hold of so many tickets for the games? Have they mostly been there for the whole tournament, and you just know, whoever they play in the final (should they beat Croatia), it will be about 80% Argentina, 10% the opposition (if that) plus the select few snaffling the rest. How are they getting all those tickets? I'm baffled (fantastic support, even if their footballers have 'attitude'.

They either buy for each game they could play in and then sell the ones on they don’t need or buy as they go. Same goes for Brazil and Morocco.

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.
