Quarter Finals

[ToffeeTim]

The two best teams in the competition played tonight and France will now win the tournament.

England were the better side on the night but you cant make mistakes in world cup quarter finals against top opposition.

Sounds like Southgate just said he'd resign.

Greatest single post in the history of this place

Love Southgate to resign like that.

Tournament should have pushed Pickford price up a bit

 

[Vedder]

Griezmann was the difference for me, finding pockets of space all nite, great runs off the ball and some naughty fouls when we seem to break their press. For me we should have Foden playing the same role(10) not out wide left which we did with Scholes

The referee cheated England apparently. Just two pens is a disgrace. ?

The ref/var got the 4 big decisions right

No foul on Saka
No pen on Kane, outside box
Clear pen on Saka
Clear pen on Mount

Hasn’t ever won a game at a tournament they weren’t favourites for. Get a decent manager in before this generation of players is completely wasted like Martinez wasted belgiums.

Worst take ever shocker

They did well. Talent-wise they did what they could. They were entertaining and never resorted to cowardly defensive tactics.

Southgate hasnt wasted a golden generation. That's too harsh.
The real golden generation has retired a long time ago. Here's the starting 11 of the 04-06 squad.
James, Neville, Terry, Sol Campbell, Cole,
Beckham, Scholes, Gerrard, Lampard, Owen, Rooney
How they never won a quarterfinal is beyond me.

It was the Tories wot done it.

I mean he was poor, he shouldn’t have needed VAR for the second pen as it was obvious in real time, but he’s not the reason we ultimately lost

Do you reckon the FA would opt for Lampard if he did?

 

[BlueAmigo]

Tonight the best team lost

England don’t have luck or bottle

Some quality in that squad, just lacking leadership. Oh for a Pearce or Butcher.

Welcome to Everton Mr Southgate

He’s done well but perhaps now is the time to pass the job on, but to who? Lampard ?

I hope not.
