Tough loss to take. Better team on the night. First goal shouldn't stand and should've had another penalty.

What retirements are we expecting after that Henderson must do it and I wouldn’t be shocked to see Sterling pack up.

Oh well , the better team lost tonight , haven't always agreed with Southgate but think he sent them out second half to win that football match and unfortunately we've fell short .

Thanks for your time and effort Gareth, many will remember you as a manager who gave us good times ..

I wish him all the best

Disagreed with you a fair bit over this tournament but this sums it up for me.

Not sure I'd sack him on the back of that. Would be harsh.

Should anyone else have taken the pen .
No normally but a second one against his club goalie?

I would. We showed today we could beat the best with slightly better management and that’s not the first time. I think putting praise on Southgate really undersells our players.

Seriously though, rarely plays in big games for Spurs which may not help in situations like that. Should have moved on years ago.

I thought we were excellent throughout the second half and, after a shaky first half, put up much more of a fight than I was expecting.

Exactly. All this pathetic talk from people who’d probably piss down their leg even stepping on a professional football pitch. Shit pen but played well. They were just more clinical and had rub of the green, in typical England style defeat

A repeat of the last World Cup final would be really odd too. Hopefully the Croats take them this time.

This is going out to the winner like in 02. We’d have gone all the way then too.

In fairness to Giroud a lot of his early minutes were as sub over all total international minutes

Giroud 6746 minutes
Kane 6226 mins

In total minutes Giroud has only played the equivalent of 5.7 games more than Kane

Spain hattrick, important goals in the euros, won the pen against Denmark.

Edit: he scored 2 against Spain, you're right. Pathetic.

He was but 90% of the time he is too deep and playing in midfield. Yes he's good at linking play but we need him in the box.

If they’re glorified friendlies perhaps we might have used them to try some different systems or personnel

They play totally different roles TBF. Kane is basically a number 10 for England. Giroud is on the end of everything in the box.

I wish Kane would have atlest hit the target. If it’s saved it’s saved. But skying it is typical England way
