By Fergie Go To PostReports FA want SouthBadInGameManagementgate to ride the England train till 2024.Might as well
As with every tourney exit they've had recently, I'll say England could be playing like France, they got the talent, but the coach is holding them back
By Vini.lad Go To PostI've never seen a pen like that from CokaneHe's missed a few, I've never seen him lose his mind like that though. Losing your technique under the pressure and trying to smash it is a bad combo.
felt the pressure
By bud Go To Postmost expensive british player of all time coming on in 90+7 (with one minute left)Didn't even touch the ball 💀💀
By inky Go To Postn9 is fine with this
he's both "southgate is doing his best" "we weren't going to win it anyway" soft lad
Feel like we had a real chance this year. More so than 2018, which was just a wild ride of chance. Last year we bent over to Italy. This year was the chance.
I’m disappointed, but not because of how England played or how Southgate managed. He did do a good job. Should have brought Rashford on maybe 5/10 minutes earlier, but Foden had a good second half and we were playing better than France with extra time looking likely.
By Xpike Go To PostAs with every tourney exit they've had recently, I'll say England could be playing like France, they got the talent, but the coach is holding them backFrance were bang average as well tho after their first goal
By Xpike Go To PostAs with every tourney exit they've had recently, I'll say England could be playing like France, they got the talent, but the coach is holding them backThey play just well enough under him, dismantle the minnows and all to make you believe he can manage the big game, but three times now he's shown he absolutely can't. People will defend him but this team absolutely has what it takes to be World and European champions and they won't do it under him.
He's too slow on the draw every single time.
at least they cannot pin it on the black players this time. rake Kane and Slabhead over the coals please.
By Shanks D Zoro Go To PostYeah haha.
Only the English could complain about a ref who had given them two penalties.
This is such a stupid fucking take.
We weren’t ‘given’ two penalties. France fouled England players twice in the box, and penalties were correctly called.
If there were twenty fouls in the box, a team should have twenty penalties. There’s no ‘well hold on, you’ve had nineteen already so we’ll ignore the beheading that just occurred’.

Someone will find a way to blame Rashford

You are right.
Ref did his job well.
Seems you are just arguing about the semantics of my wording.
By NiceGuy Go To PostFrance were bang average as well tho after their first goalthe difference is France knew when to turn it on, England after Kane missed the pen never looked like seriously threatening again
By Xpike Go To PostAs with every tourney exit they've had recently, I'll say England could be playing like France, they got the talent, but the coach is holding them back
What do you mean playing like France? Were they particularly wonderful tonight? Did Deschamps ‘outcoach’ Southgate?
Weird one for Southgate tonight, since we did turn a bad performance into an okay one, which is the reversal of the norm. Don't give a shit about who came on and when, the issue was that it was Saka who went off before it looked like he was done.
By MF Coom Go To PostDidn't even touch the ball 💀💀
how much longer til pep bins him? @dan @meier @reirico
Croatia final/winning it could be a great story in spirit, but in practice it'd be an absolutely awful indictment on football a la Greece. I just hate watching them play football and would hate even more to see them win anything.
That said, fair play to them doing the absolute best with the absolute least (besides a generational great in Modric). Obviously I'd be stoked if my country managed even half the success these guys have, considering we have 5 times the population and football is a fucking religion here.
We could do with 1% of that eastern european unwavering mentality for a change.

No, I’m arguing with you suggesting that anyone questioning a referee who has awarded them two penalties doesn’t have a leg to stand on simply because of that fact.
Referee was very, very shit. He isn’t the reason we lost. But he was shit.
England played well and outplayed France before the pk miss even with questionable Southgate tactics. This one is on Kane tbh.
By Call Sign: Apollo Go To PostC'mon...
England did not play well, I can’t believe these pundits. They didn’t look threatening outside a couple crosses and penalties.

It would be a great story in terms of the underdog aspect, but in a year we’d be like ‘… really?’
At least Greece was entirely without precedent and had no stars, and it hasn’t happened since. Once in a blue moon wild shit.

Sure, but then did France? I think that England were probably marginally the better team, but weren’t as street smart as France in managing the game and didn’t have someone who capitalised on a rare chance like Giroud’s.
Bellingham’s chance and Kane’s chance were two very good saves from Lloris from live ball scenarios.
Let messi win it, secure his goat status, North Korea buy Liverpool, then I can mourn the sport properly without its death being even more prolonged

By n8 dogg Go To PostSure, but then did France? I think that England were probably marginally the better team, but weren’t as street smart as France in managing the game and didn’t have someone who capitalised on a rare chance like Giroud’s.Nah France were pretty rubbish too but they turned it on in moments and when they needed to. I feel like they weirdly play within themselves.

By Daz Go To PostAt least it was a white guy that missed the pen this time.
By n8 dogg Go To PostNo, I’m arguing with you suggesting that anyone questioning a referee who has awarded them two penalties doesn’t have a leg to stand on simply because of that fact.
Referee was very, very shit. He isn’t the reason we lost. But he was shit.
There was about two fouls on Saka that were not called.
He gave France more yellows and called more fouls against them rightfully.
No ref is gonna be 100%, but people complaining about the ref are missing that England were not actually good. Created very few chances in open play in that game. I don’t care for France, but they actually looked like they had a plan when they were attacking.
By n8 dogg Go To PostFeel like we had a real chance this year. More so than 2018, which was just a wild ride of chance. Last year we bent over to Italy. This year was the chance.Funny to think of all the England opponents in these world cups. France the only heavyweight they've come up against.

true, brother

Germany and Italy at the last Euros?
2018 was taking advantage of a very kind draw.

No shame going out to France. Just a shame it was so close.
Hope Morocco wins it for the underdogs or Messi for Goat status

Doubt kane was bothered about it being his spurs teammate, more lost his bottle deciding where to put it given that he'd already taken one.
If England had beaten France today, the World Cup was theirs. Such a great opportunity.
I think Southgate is an ok manager when you put into perspective that no world class manager will leave a giant club for them. He will most likely continue.
Englands squad is young and very good. Southgate can be upgraded by another manager, but who would come?
