Decent hit for that first goal

**** France going to win this again

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Brilliant goal , the best defensive strategies can be undone by a long range goal . Something Spain could have learned from

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Imagine having Alexander Arnold and Kieran Trippier in your squad yet Luke Shaw is taking freekicks ?

 

[Howe_zat]

France look faster and more accurate

Might be a danger of just being outclassed all evening

 

[ripper868]

Thought that was a pen tbh

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Andy Townsend with some insightful commentary "You don't wanna go 2-0 down to this team".

I think it was outside the box, but not even a free kick apparently. A bit odd

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

It's frustrating how many times wide players refuse to put the ball in the box especially for England, Kane is incredible in the air give him a chance!

My 6 year old has just asked if the referee is from France.

Is Saka actually getting fouled, or just going down way too easily whenever a defender gets within 2 metres?

Speaking on behalf of the well hydrated clientele at a pub in Billsley, we are quite confident he’s being fouled.

Can France survive Upamecano?

Vive La France, salut du Quebec

 

[Howe_zat]

Well England haven’t been outclassed, they’ve actually had the majority of chances, but missing them all isn’t a big positive either I guess

 

[Lillian Thomson]

It’s just irritating. A bit of tempo in the last third and France can be got in behind.

 

[GotSpin]

Having seen the behaviour of the Dutch players while Lisandro is on his way up to take the penalty then that reaction from the Argentinians is fully justified.

The Dutch were carrying on before the match, during the match and during the penalties

 

[BoyBrumby]

Just seen the Saka (non) foul.

Clearly a free kick. Defender has two swings at him.

All set to be the newest generation’s disallowed Sol Campbell goal.

Grealish to score @ 76
