Can I withdraw my 'enjoying it' bit, but we have been much better this half.Poor defending there.
Our front play has badly let us down.
Found a second wind from somewhere, because they were looking very leggy and tired.They have ripped us apart on the counter so many times
Just saying that, doesn’t seem right in a knock out tournament does it?Weird that we have been beaten 3 times in the best finish we have had to a tournament in an age.
We got as far as we did due to the opposition wrestling in the box too much and giving us penalties.Weird that we have been beaten 3 times in the best finish we have had to a tournament in an age.
We did get some gifts didn't we.We got as far as we did due to the opposition wrestling in the box too much and giving us penalties.
Nope.Just saying that, doesn’t seem right in a knock out tournament does it?
Phil Jones. WTF!
If that was a case we should have played the reserves then, Spider.It's a nothing game though this, nobody gives a shit who finishes 3rd in the world cup. It's all about getting that star on your shirt
Yep. One place closer.Better second half than first, but we were just far too loose with the ball. Give the ball away to a team who love to hit you on the counter, you're asking for trouble time and time again. Add to that we just didn't take the chances that we had come our way. Think Belgium are closer to winning a world cup than us.
Is that Henry with Belgium?
Yeah. Would say we are about 5 or 6 players short.What an anti climax in the end. We're a good few players off the level of even Belgium
If I am still alive then.I'm looking forward to the emergence of the next batch of youngsters making an impact. Barring injury Foden is going to be huge for England, together with Sessegnon. Who knows, even Maddison has a shout of being the creative midfielder that England so clearly lack. World cup 2026, midfield of Bayliss, Maddison & Foden !
Did you miss an R out there by any chance?not that bothered by 3rd or 4th.
semis was way better than most thought a month ago.
a few obvious flaws in the side but plenty to work with.
do need better passing up front. Pointless having Kane if we can't get him the ball. Not going to get the space some of these current mids like running behind defences
Hopefully will see some of the age group players break into Pl before next tournaments.
I apologize to Southgate (used to know him) thought he was an awful pick when he got the job.
That's because when we win they have already reached it.People banging on about "potential" now we have lost.
This is where we disagree, I picked out France to win before it started, They have a great squad and several.match winners in their team. I think they will have too much for Croatia and will deserve the 2nd star.Shame for Belgium.
Been the best side for me in this compeition and the most entertaining too.
They deserve to be in the final, rather than the sulky, feigning French.
Ah, but my criteria is also accounting for fairness and playing the game without trying to cheat.This is where we disagree, I picked out France to win before it started, They have a great squad and several.match winners in their team.

Cue Croatia to play the game of their lives
Well I hope we don't see too much of that side of the game tomorrow.Ah, but my criteria is also accounting for fairness and playing the game without trying to cheat.
Belgium I found to be a more honest side and they played some great football.
I didn't like the French way of trying to bend the rules and dive and feign injury.
I know Belgium were really annoyed with them on Tuesday night.
was a bit when I knew him. At Uni with his brother.Did you miss an R out there by any chance?
Has he been anywhere near Salisbury lately?Was thinking that same.
He looks lethargic and not at all sharp.
Bet we find out afterwards that he has been carrying an injury.
It's ironic that they wrestled Kane to the ground because they were so afraid he was such a great striker and yet it turns out all he was good at was penalties.We did get some gifts didn't we.
Belgium leave the tournament with great credit (with the possible exception of Lukaku, who I do not have a very high opinion of).Ah, but my criteria is also accounting for fairness and playing the game without trying to cheat.
