England v France - Saturday 10/12 - 19:00, ITV

[Wilf]

Second yellow for Griezeman and a red for Hernandez were calls other refs would have mamade.

Agree about hernandez, not griezeman.

 

[Infidel Castro]

How come the ref didn't celebrate the French second goal?

Left that to Mbappe didn't he.

 

[AmateurAgitator]

Knocked out by France, hilarious

 

[weltweit]

It was an exciting game but in the end we just didn't get a second goal in the 90 minutes.

I thought we played better than the French in the second half, just didn't make it count.

Very disappointing.

I now want Argentina to win.

 

[AmateurAgitator]

Magnifique

Knocked out by France, hilarious

Erm, why?

 

[Kaka Tim]

Knocked out by France, hilarious

hilarious why? France are probably the best team in the world.

Oh go on then, why is it hilarious? France are a good team.

 

[xenon]

Magnifique

You are a silly person.

 

[twistedAM]

I want Argentina to win now. Hate to see what they do if they lose but the arrogant Dutch got what they deserved.

 

[Wilf]

Anyway, I ate 6 bags of crisps.

This is a simple factual report, I'm not setting up a French fries joke.

 

[Hollis]

Notice ITV word stick 3 women pundits pitchside to talk for about 5 minutes in total... I guess there's a word for this... "tokenism"?

 

[not-bono-ever]

Only medium fury in here so far. Where are the ABE special forces squad to ramp thing up a little ?

 

[Flavour]

griezmann is a dirty cunt and so is hernandez. dembele and lloris very good.

england were a bit Spursy

 

[weltweit]

It isn't any consolation but it could so easily have gone the other way.

 

[Infidel Castro]

It isn't any consolation but it could so easily have gone the other way.

I think it deserved extra time at least.

 

[Wilf]

I think it deserved extra time at least.

Yep if this had been group game a draw would have been 100% the right result.

 

[SpookyFrank]

hilarious why? France are probably the best team in the world.

Football's in a sorry state if so.

I'm not allowed to say anything because it offends some posters.



It's only a game of football at the end of the day. It's not that important really.

 

[BigMoaner]

and so it starts

I know and what with it being only your 3rd favourite team...

 

[Kaka Tim]

Anyway - off out to smash up some Peugeots and Renaults and trash all the baguettes in morrisons.

 

[two sheds]

Good game that, England unlucky I felt they played well. Looked up the ref on wiki there's a couple of interesting facts.

 

[The39thStep]

Dear dear me ...

 

[donkyboy]

Anyone look up at the eastern sky at 10:40? You would have seen the ball.

 

[BristolEcho]

Well at least we can win 2026 which will at least be hosted by a country with a proper footballing history, doesn't oppress it's minorities and migrant workers, and doesn't have regressive laws around the rights of women.

 

[not-bono-ever]

As an ABE/ Sometime neutral, your ingerland played OK and hoyed themselves around the place with sometimes reckless abandon.They certainly had the france under pressure alot of the time. I still don't get Maguire. You do have a core of what seem to be decent blokes/ none of that awful Beckham golden era bloated petulant ego shite. France were stuttering much of the time. Mbappe was kept reasonably quiet and didnt much much chance to explode. It has to be said tho that you did have a good start with the group you were handed.

He was unlucky though, you can see the ball bobbled just before he kicked it.

 

[xenon]

Dear dear me ...

Yep. What a load of toss. This era of England teams has been the best in the last 20 years or so I would say. I mean I actually enjoy watching some England games. Which is not the case so much under Erickson, Capella McLaren, etc.
