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

Mount must be Southgate's love child.

You do wonder, I've no idea what he ever adds, yes he won the missed penalty, at least he got his back in the way of the shoulder barge, he wasn't getting near the ball though.

Southgate was asked about France before the game he said he’d been watching them for 2 years hahahah what a plank all that watching and he learned naff all

He talks like he’s a football mastermind

Like many have said, would any top 6 side fighting for Champions League spots employ him? Not a chance

 

[cleavers]

Aluko claiming Kane taking a pen against his club mate affected him, did she forget he took 2 in that game and scored the first one? She's a horrendous pundit

She comes over as quite thick to me.

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??

It's because they think he's signing for liverpool.

 

[Mancity1980]

So he should

Reminds me of the Chris Waddle miss in 1990, I don’t think that ball has hit the ground yet!

Name the last difficult group we had ?

I can’t but looking at this WC alone, was there a tough group?

 

[meeesh]

C'mon Morocco. Off to buy a Fez.

Just like that :)

The annoying part of losing was England were the better team

Pretty much this.. Southgate fluffed the subs but other than that we were better in ever department.. France got lucky took their chances but the ref was dubious and did cost us. If the two teams performed as they did today, and we played 10 games.. we win 7 or 8 out of those imo.

Fuck off
She made a point that we can all make with hindsight
Why did he take the first one???
You pick your best penalty taker and if he misses then so be it, that’s football
That’s what we did and it didn’t work

Agree with you. I’d of put my house on him scoring but he lacked composure…..something you must have at this level.

feels like we don't have many English supporting blues on here...


We controlled them for large parts of the game, can't fault their performance should have won, maybe took a chance outside of the pens to show our threat but unfortunately at this level against the top ranking team in the world they will have chances and took their. walker was amazing no talk of Mbappe really thought the night kept him relatively quiet. Saka and foden looked class no idea why Southgate took him off for sterling who was clearly a step down. sort of agree with aluko, taking two pens in a high pressured game is a tough feat, seen it so many times, messes missed a sitter against Saudi Arabia so against France there's always a chance a player fluffs another option to keep loris on his toes could have been an option. anyway gutted but for once looked very much in the game against the best team in the world?

I’m definitely one.
