After the way the young black English players got grief after the Euro penalties I’d be - gulp - quite happy if they win the thing.

[JM2K6]

Fabulous goal, albeit after a blatant foul.

England have survived earlier matches where they've handed several chances to the opposition early on. Looked like being the same here, but that was a quality goal

[tc27]

France look good could be more than one up

Shit reffing. The break only happens due to a blatant foul.

You go down easily (or whatever you call diving these days) you take the consequences

Hey, if the replays show that's what happened then fine, but it looked like he got fouled twice and the second time he seemed to almost get kicked into the air.

Blatant foul on Kane here but not sure it's in the box.

Pffft. This Fre side is feeble defensively. Especially in the air. And they are too lazy when not in possession which invites oppos to lay on wave after wave of attacks.

[JM2K6]

Play on for that???

Well, the ref didn’t give it, a van full of VAR refs didn’t give it and the English ref commentating didn’t think it was, so not sure it’s blatant…

That Kane one is ridiculous though.

The ref didn't give the Kane one and neither did VAR, so...

[JM2K6]

They finally showed a replay - the defender clearly takes Saka out.

Walton did though!

Anyway, apologies, get on with supporting England, not trying to wind anyone up, more a comment on footballers diving generally.

Come on England!

Saka thing is irritating at this point as he rides plenty of shitty challenges. I think part of his problem is he doesn't scream loudly enough or go down easily enough.
The replay shows it is a clear foul on Saka.

[Torquemada 1420]

France's strategy all tournie
- hope the oppos miss or foul them
- give the ball to Mbappe and hope he can do a Maradonna

[tc27]

My inexpert view - England actually reasonable aside from some weak give aways. France lethal on the counter.

[JM2K6]

Heh, French player loses the ball in a dangerous area but stays down so the ref stops play. He's fine, of course.

Decent half of football from both teams. Not sure England deserve to be behind, shame they haven't taken any of their half chances.

[Hal Jordan]

Didier Deschamps looks like someone's aunt who's finally come out after her husband died of a premature heart attack.

It's all they have. They have to be the laziest side off the ball in the comp and not much better movement when in possession.

[Wyndham Upalot]

[Insane_Homer]

Ref, AR and VAR blind cunts tonight. Shocking.

Fra continuing strategy of fouling and relying on Eng to miss.

[tc27]

Two very good saves from the French goalie

[Torquemada 1420]

Fra continuing strategy of fouling and relying on Eng to miss.

And eventually it fails as the pen is awarded.

[petej]

I'm amazed the ref gives that. Going on the previous decisions.

[tc27]

England good for that pen..more than earnt

And there I was thinking they should save their celebrations until the pen is scored.

Fra pushed their luck too far. Eng will go on now to win by a couple.

[Slick]

England looking very good here, hope they keep pushing

Game could do with a bit more spite though

[tc27]

Games gone mad

[Slick]

They are absolutely terrified of Saka

Going to make the inevitable loss on penalties a sickener

[Torquemada 1420]

Terrified of pace full stop. And rightly so because if you don' t work hard to press defensively in the middle, you invite attackers on to you with both pace and space. A Charlton or Socrates would have racked up the goals against this Fre side.

[JM2K6]

Haha what the fuck does this ref have against Saka

[Slick]

Ref is touching on “who is bribing him” territory at the moment

I was just thinking that they really need to score soon or there will be the inevitable brave defeat

[Insane_Homer]

unbelievable. that last one he claims he got the ball, replay show not even fucking close. this is keewee ref level shyteness.

[Torquemada 1420]

F**k knows. Fra have already fouled him more often than Serbia did Neymar.
