I think there are some harsh comments here. We were the better team, but all that was missing was testing the goalkeeper more. Not enough attempts on goal. They worked hard and were patient playing up to the box but couldn't find the pass to get us in. We couldn't have stopped either goal. Didn't choke or get unlucky, just lost a tough but fair game of football by one goal 🤷‍♀️ Sad, but no complaints.

@helsbels Agree generally. I think the defence was slightly at fault for both goals, but they were good goals.

@helsbels first goal happened because England were denied a free-kick for a blatant foul .best team lost

@GovanDUNNY It didn’t happen because of that. Yes, a foul should have been given. But the goal happened because France then mounted an excellent attack and England’s defence failed to deal with it.

@MartinII The ref was incompetent and biased against the British team

@GovanDUNNY Maybe he was, but that wasn’t the cause of the first goal.

@MartinII it was because England should have been taking a free-kick at the other end when that goal was scored France got away with too much
