I would absolutely love Dalic, but I didn’t want to respond with that as he isn’t (yet) available.

What is your stance re: Southgate, then? You think he should stay on for the Euros?

I would love for them to go for someone genuinely different. Bielsa did fantastically with Argentina and Chile and laid the foundation for Chile's 2 Copa America wins under Sampaoli.

Stop van Gaal retiring. Luis Enrique.

Something radical like that, I could get behind, another English bloke who's not good enough to manage in the Premier League isn't going to change anything IMO, so might as well stick with someone who's made the team respectable again.

Whilst we were the better team, we still couldn’t keep out France with their only few minutes of pressure in the 2nd half.
The subs were an awful decision. Sterling has been at home for a week and also been shite for 2 years

Penalty heart ache once again. Gutted

Probably a future pizza advert in it for Kane though!

Ronaldo was crying for Ronaldo, no one else.

And the cameras

How is that even possible?

French Guiana is in South America but is a region of France, bit like Gibraltar or Guernsey.

You should be supporting Morocco then if that is your criteria as they are Muslims, or don't you like them?

Nope. Wrong old son.

The english media don’t hate Morocco. They do hate Argentina. And I’d love to see Julian lift the World Cup.
I’d have still wanted Argentina to win even if England had won tonight and got to the final. I’m just disappointed as seeing Argentina destroy England in a world cup final, in Qatar, at the best organised World Cup in living memory, would truly have been a sight to see.

Trent, don’t forget the water bottles.

He sees half empty water bottles that others dont.

Should have been Potter earlier this year, maybe straight after bringing on Saka and Rashford in the manner he did in the final last year.

You could pluck any top 6-8 Championship manager and we could legitimately have a better coach than Southgate.

Take our time and find the right man, but he needs to go.

Yes sadly I agree. He got the job by default and has had three stabs at major competitions now and failed. Most countries change their manager on that basis. We have had a bit of bad luck but tactically he's out of his depth at the top level. We tend to go into big games gripped by fear and as a result too negative. France weren't great tonight but I guess two bits of quality got them through. With England you're always waiting for the disappointment you know is coming no matter how well we're playing. The missed penalty, the mistake, the ref cheating us. It's always there in our minds and just like groundhog day it never disappoints to happen.

That I agree with.

Din't test Lloris after 1-1. Anyone else thought that the intensity was a bit low compared to the other games?
