The Football.....

I said this over on NCAP, yes the French are on the beach, but we have shown that we have players with the technical ability to take teams apart if they are just given free reign to play.

If there's one thing the last sixty years should have taught us it's that World Cups are bloody hard things to win, so third place is worth fighting for even though it is only a consolation prize. Fast forward another sixty and the remaining one or two of this team may well be getting held up as members of the most successful England side in living memory.

TBF, nice as it is it's a bit like a testimonial game. Very open and no intensity ot tension.

Plus no 'pundits' in a studio, or a half time report from Antony Barry.

I suspect the French manager may have had words at half time.

4-4 anyone?

I think those of a certain age have resigned themselves to not seeing England win another World Cup in their lifetime. My 85 year old neighbour said his happiest memories of watching football for 70 odd years is when Burnley won the league/champions of England in 1960 and England won the World Cup six years later, adding that he's now given up on hoping to see such events happening again. Burnley winning 'the league' yes, but England winning a World Cup🤔....mmm, maybe not.😏

4-4 anyone?

Good lord no. Goes to extra time and pens, doesn't it?

 

[Accy cyclist]

Oh look, 2 goals conceded and we're throwing it away AGAIN!🫤

It's been pointed out to me that teenagers have never experienced anything other than England being quite good and Germany being rubbish.

Some game, this!

 

[Accy cyclist]

I can't watch anymore! TUCHEL OUT!!!!!!!🤬

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.

 

[Vapin' Joe]

This is like watching West Ham.

 

[No Ta Doctor]

Lol. This is proper playground stuff
