Qatar World Cup 2022. Argentina v France

[SG90]

Wonder if 34 year old Henderson will still be getting picked in 2024

[White Riot]

I never expected us to win the World Cup, even though the French were there for the taking tonight.

I can't believe how many people have said to me 'It's coming home" just replied to my relatives/friends I hope so!

If we had a coach who could seize the day we might have had 3 trophies by now.

Bit unlucky tonight mind, but I'm honestly not even arsed Leon.

Henderson was very good today, calm head. Played like Forshaw does for us, like Forshaw, very under rated.

Yep. The way the media and some fans were talking down France as "just Mbappe" and acting like England are world beaters, now they'll be calling them brave and heroes now they've lost.

He was shite tonight, Conor Gallagher would have done better

[Jaydog]

As I said then initally ...

Probably.
I’d say he is guilty as there would be clear evidence.
Just a question of the exact nature of his bets.
Does that mean he shouldn’t go. Who knows.

[Jaydog]

I'm often tempted to try and sneak in an Allan Akbar when I'm talking to a Muslim, just to see if they notice it

Can you run fast

Messi is the best player in the world by a country mile, France are nowt special, this age of football has been nowt special, we have had the best chance to win a WC twice now and a footballing disgrace against Italy in the Euro final, an aging Giroud that finished with Chelsea yonks back and hardly gets a game for his current side finished our plebs off.

Ehhhhhh, no he isn't. That's why PSG pretty much handed control over team decisions to Mbappe while Messi's future there is uncertain after a poor first season.

And Giroud is the record scorer for a country that is the current world champions, doesn't have to go back almost 60 years to recall success, and has a trophy cabinet that is bursting at the seams compared to England.

"Finished with Chelsea" is precisely the problem with English football. There is an assumption that the national team is amongst the best and when one is finished in the PL they're almost irrelevant. Giroud has gone on to win a Serie A and is now leading the line in a WC semi final. Many in world football would think that as a step up since his Chelsea days.

Can you run fast

In general no these days, but I can run slightly quicker when I'm wearing my bessie trainers

[John in Louisiana]

All the talk about Mbappe and Griezmann was the best player on the pitch

Yes indeed.

[1964white]

Got shot down the other day for saying we'd achieved nothing yet, and as always, out to the first good team we play. That's why I don't get overexcited over beating dross, because you know what's gonna happen next.

Just as with England I have the same feeling with Leeds, can't envisage us winning any more trophies in my lifetime unless a sugar daddy arrives at ER.

And Giroud is France's second-best striker.

Gutted to see England lose the game, even though the French have such an imposing team. Had a number of chances; things just didn't fall their way.

Wouldn't blame the loss on the referee, but he was clearly out of his depth. How many yellow cards should have been given out but weren't?

[Jaydog]

It’s not coming home but at least he’s going home

That's why I was so angry last summer. That'll be the only chance I'll have of seeing England win something.

Mizuno I think, cost a fortune. Talked to a guy here who knew his stuff and he looked at the Nike's that were crippling my feet and told me to throw them in the bin.

They had run out after yesterday's idiot gave them all out...........

That sums up the punditry on BBC/ITV. Unless they play in the PL, they've never heard of the player.

[Bally]

France were the better team, England had zero creativity and are too reliant on penalties.

I'm guessing you didn't watch the game ,as this is one of many clueless comments on here
