England v France - Sat 10th Dec, 19:00 | Quarter-final | World Cup 2022

[BringBackSwales]

Iran were a test for us according to most right until we hammered then. Senegal were going to be a stern test according to most until we breezed past them. We lost against the probably Champions in a game where we were the better team despite some shocking refereeing.

Iran, Wales, USA and Senegal have fuck all World Cup pedigree, we haven’t beaten anyone of note. We’ve done ok but hardly great, a bit like the tournament as a whole.

Why let Gashfoot take the glory freekick in the dying seconds?

Headline grabber like his idol cRapaldo.

Because he's the only England player to score a free kick recently?

City first at all times but sad England have gone out. Yes you could say we have lost to the first decent team we’ve met but a bit of luck would be nice.

My only “gripe” is Talksport ( as it’s not City related i am listening to it ) are describing Bellinghams performance tonight as world Class. Really??

But then again one of those raving about him Is some bloke called Stuart Pearce. Hope he never ever gets to manage City

Not one England player crying...maybe it means fuck all..yet crynaldo gets berated

Crying ffs it’s a game of fucking football anyone crying is a sad twat in my not very humble opinion

 

[we are the east stand]

Agree,but who to get as manager to work his stuff with that mostly talented bunch of youngsters,just who ?

I can’t think of one decent candidate at all at present I really can’t

Not sure mate….maybe Enrique? Or potter if he gets the bullet from Chelsea before the end of the season.

Agree though there’s no real obvious choice ready to step into it if Southgate goes. To be honest though if he doesnt walk I think the FA will give him the next euros as a last throw of the dice, he’s probably got enough credit in the bank with them still, just.

[ZebraVicar]

Guyana is part of France, look it up.

You mean French Guyana. It is to the East of Suriname. Guyana lies West of Suriname.

This for me too. I don't particularly rate Southgate as a manager, I think he is quite negative, his substitutions are a little odd and the football is a little slow most of the time but who else is there, realistically?
