Mbappe hat trick
Griezmann two assists.
Messi red card, 64 minutes.
There is zero chance Messi sees red today , he could probably get away with anything today

Would love to see it.

They did another Messi article on BBC and the comments were full of people saying how much it had become irritating. A song overplayed on the radio making you hate it being one of my favourite comparisons.

We've also won nothing , in an era where most of the so called best sides are pretty poor , a luxury most England managers never had ..

He's failed
Do you think our squads have been clearly stronger than the other top sides? I’d put us in the same category as the other teams you like to say are in decline - talented, but flawed (in our case, at CB and CM). The teams we’ve (narrowly) lost to in tournaments have all proven themselves to be worthy opponents. Even if you think there is a power vacuum in world football at the moment, I’m not sure the England teams of 2016-2022 have had a divine right to fill it.

He's hired to win tournaments ? We've just been relegated in our nations league group , knocked out the world cup in the QF , lost 2 tournament matches in the semi final and final because he got it wrong ( EASY ROUTES TOO !!!)

what more does he have to do , it's a weird amount of leverage to give a man who has failed

We are one of the best squads in the world

Morocco this tournament alone achieved more

This year, yes. We lost to one of the finalists after missing a penalty.

In 2018, with Ashley Young at LWB and Dele Alli at #10? I don’t think so. (Still made the semis)

In 2021, with two international rookies at CM and a 3ATB system with no world-class CBs? I don’t think so either. (Still made the final)

Having the world’s best collection of skilful attacking midfielders doesn’t make us automatic world-beaters…I just don’t buy this idea that we’ve been massively underperforming.

Think France will be too strong for the Argies

Was prepared to give ITV a chance until Neville turned it into a Labour Party broadcast.

Pitch looks absolutely awful round Lloris' goal.

He was going down as soon as he felt contact there.

Very soft but stupid from defender …any contact there from behind was going to be given.

Messi should be the greatest penalty taker in history he gets plenty of practice

Got the game on mute and to my massive surprise, turn around to see Argentina gifted ANOTHER dubious penalty.

It is written fixed.

Gotta hand it to FIFA, staging the biggest conspiracy in the history of sports so Argentina win is one thing, but kicking it off by screwing them on multiple offside calls so they almost get eliminated by Saudi fucking Arabia was a true masterstroke.
