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

[meeesh]

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

It’s in my back garden,alongside Mahrez’s and Kane’s will be with them when I wake up in morning

I've heard a right load of shite, defending the endless negativity. Under Southgate, we are set up to score on the break, not to control the game. Griezman controlled it. We had 3 destroyers who run and tackle in midfield. The ball goes backwards more than forwards if/when they get control of it.
We have Foden, Maddison and Grealish who can all control a game from the middle. Croatia have Modric - and others - with skill on the ball. They can build and create, and that's what we don't do.
Very predictable, but we could still have won, and if other changes and switches were made at the start or during the game, anything is possible. Being set up just to survive and break away to score doesn't and hasn't worked. It is beyond Southgate to do it any other way and hopefully he'll do the honourable thing and let some other mug have a go with our latest golden generation.

Maguire has had a good WC.

WC wasted chance

I guess if we are going to go out of a tournament it might as well be at the hands of a truly great nation that we all admire and love.

 

[The perfect fumble]

C'mon Morocco. Off to buy a Fez.

Just like that....

FUCK Harry Kane. I hope he has sleepless nights for the rest of his life thinking about that miss. I've been okay with Southgate, but time to go. Grealish of for 2 minutes of extra time???

Fuck him for Spurs not your country. Southgate’s a very plain but likeable guy. He just hasn’t got that extra 25 percent with a winning mentality. But who do you appoint? A foreign manager wouldn’t get the respect from either players or fans.we’ve been down that road.

This World Cup really hit home what we are served up; be thankful blues

Spot on!

France were very good in the first half. I said in a previous post that if you stop Foden you stop England, they cut off al passing lanes to him. Bellingham's only outlet in the first half was down the right with Henderson and Saka. They were happy with that as they constan6turned the ball over. We improved in the second half but offered little threat outside of set pieces.

Walker was superb against Mbappe.

We're far too passive, Foden should have dropped into the middle to offer what Griezmann did for them, why Grealish wasn't on sooner is anyone's guess.


I hope we move on from Southgate now, he's had a decent run.

 

[Barcon]

WC wasted chance

Wank on a cat

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Semantics; Kane missed.

Grealish would have troubled their defence more than the single chance Mount created from a penalty where he wasn't even favourite to get to the ball first anyway.
