What a crazy match

What a crazy match

Would have been one hell of a final (doubt it would have been played in the same way)

Dream scenario is Bellingham coming on and putting in a couple of goals to save the match and my fingernails, and Mbappe’s efforts from tonight being enough to deny Messi the Golden Boot.

Your wish is granted 😂

Good fun that was.

It's a pity that it was only that good because it didn't really matter.

I haven't got round to looking it up but that's got to be pretty high in the scoring tables for a non-group match.

Good fun that was.

Fun? More like nerve wracking! It would have been totally embarrassing if we'd thrown that one away after Wednesday night's farce!🙄

You've got to view it a bit like an exhibition I think, I don't feel it was a true reflection of either sides footballing ability!

Olise should have scored seven or so tonight!

More important to me than an exhibition match. We came third, our best finish in 60 years, though we nearly threw it away.

It's like saying the bronze medal doesn't matter in the Olympics either? 🤷‍♀️

Personally I view them as completely different situations but as you will notice about all my comments.....I am not telling others what they should feel or think. It is my opinion only......and I have been known to be wrong before .
To be honest, I have been up since 04.30, was very tired and the match was on far too late for me. Perhaps if it had been an early KO I would have watched it. As it was, I was in the land of nod by 21.30.
Hope you enjoyed it though.

Bonkers game, but well played England. Best of the rest is some achievement, and a step closer to glory.
