I'm proud of the boys.

England looked the better side all day to me. It was like two bulls fighting, England looked stronger but France had the pointier horns for scoring.
I'm hoping for Croatia or Morocco now. Like to see same old teams be moved aside by the hopeful teams.
I really try to get into this game but it frustrates me no end. Along with best player awards they should give out an Academy Award. Tired of watching players dive, roll around on the ground in 'agony', lying there dying and getting medics out for someone brushing their sleeve. Seriously, get up you lame wankers. So many games and even a world cup final (Germany in the 1990s I think it was) decided because of dives or dreadful decisions. For someone to enjoy it you have to be able to rationalise this rubbish and call it 'gamesmanship'. I've been unable to do that. It's rare in Australian rules, rugby or American football for a game to be decided on a single decision as it is here. Otherwise it's briliant to watch.

Dominated is a stretch but they were the better side for large periods. I don’t think they created many clear cut chances and the few they got were from French ineptitude (2 pens and a free kick)

They played pretty well but created few clear cut chances and the central defence always looked vulnerable. The substitutions destroyed England’s rhythm, and Sterling was worse than useless. I’m glad, of course, that the underrated Giroud scored the winning goal. To think that Arsenal preferred Lacazette!

The pundits were very critical of the referee, I think correctly. Strange, because the refereeing in all the other games I have seen has been excellent.

I swear Giroud looks like the guy who’s been taking care of my kid after school 😅

Who do you think will be in the Final?

I believe that the game hung on a couple of very controversial ref decisions. That level of sheer.....ignorance...I don't think I've ever seen before.

It's sad, My other half has been saying Griesman has been the star player since the very start of this tournament - very under-the-radar, but everything happens from him - so he see's them in the final.

May I be so bold as to say that, since I have picked Argentina in the work's thing, I stand to win £50 if they win....

Yep, Cassandra [i]can[/i] be bought for a very nominal price!

So...sad for England....but c'mon Argentina!

😜

The cake crook'd brits lost to the snail sluppering frogs again, this calls for a spot of tea

The snail eaters beat the crumpet munchers

England done well and got a bit unlucky.

I think it's going to be France v Argentina in the final. This is going to be something to watch. I was pulling fur England and they did give it a good run

It was always going to be tough beating France. They played so well and i am so sad for Harry but the didn't do anything wrong

This is more depressing than Dunkirk.

Was like watching Palace 🥲

I wouldn't want to be Kane when the game ended. That was devastating to watch when he missed that penalty kick.

That's what happens when you sack the best coach England have had in 20 years.

Alright, the miracle happened. I'm entirely interested in soccer now. I will cheering every team they play against1 France cannot be allowed to win.

You are proud of the boys? Sounds more like a secret message you are sending to the 'proud boys'... I must take some time to decipher your message now, possibly warn the authorities of another impending attack.

"They lost but played very well and dominated most of the game... France did what they needed to in big moments and they go through..". This all sounds very suspicious to me, so you might get a little visit from men in black who wear sunglasses indoors, just sayin'... 🤷‍♀️

Just let me say I'm sure these fine anglophonic men gave it their all but I'm both condolences and disappointment that they let France win.
