Quarter Finals

[LinekersLegs]

After the horrible nature of roid rage Messi and his band of rats last night, France take huge credit in a dignified manner of victory. Giroud and Deschamps spoke brilliantly and we should all be cheering them on if they face the evil of Mr growth hormone in the final.

Slump them shoulders Messi and blame your team mates, just like when you were at anfield

I saw Giroud console one of the England players which I thought was nice, what did they say?

lol

Up the Argies. 3 months in Argentina. A couple of Boca games. Messi one of the best ever. Bring it home

 

[Jamo Martinez]

Why ask Henderson?
He was poor,even without my blue specs.

Don't think he was personally. He was clearly given an unusual task of patrolling the right flank. had to get forward to support Saka and get back to support Walker. Thought he did a good job.

I hope France hammer them, horrible team ,
Saying that would sooner either of the other semi final teams won it outright.

4 ft or 4 inches is the same .

Baggio - WC Final 94.
Zico - WC QF 86
Shevchenko - CL Final 05
Raul - Euro 2000 QF
Messi - CL Semi final 12

Socrates and Platini in 86 as well. Uli Hoeneß in the Euro 96 final. Maradona, himself, in the 1990 World Cup QF versus Yugoslavia.

Players miss penalties all the time. Great players are no exception.

He's a class act and a beautiful man, never got the credit he deserved as a true team player in England. He gave the England players a lot of praise

 

[Papa Shango]

Sorry, what?

The standard not the team!

I'm not English, keep that stuff away from me!

(Also England did beat the US in the last meeting...)

 

[arch stanton]

France are a really good team, the Empire ran them close, a couple of ropey decisions against the Empire but the better team won.

No complaints from me

Allez les bleus

Nothing wrong with them playing it but the media a TV and news shouldn't give it the same coverage as mens as the quality and standard is poor.

Never trust a women to do anything right!

Guessing from your posts that you're a recently divorced middle aged bloke. Did she leave you for a younger, more virile man perchance?

 

[MikeH72]

I mean why would you even compare England women to England men unless you’re a bad sex pest and probably never touched another human?

Iirc he got a bit of stick (possibly even from me!) about not scoring last World cup even though he was an important part of that winning team so really happy for him that he is getting the credits now.

He's a player who knows exactly what he has to do to be a good player for his team. Very very good footballer

Said it before giroud player of the tournament

I think that's the damning issue there for Southgate. I was always sure that France even with those injuries would beat England. They have no self-belief. That comes from the manager.

Also, he's been waffling on about building a great young side for the future. The fact is, this England side arn't great. They aren't good enough to win a tournament, despite all the BS from the media and their fans (on here too shamefully).

After about 6 years he has nothing. That lot are nowhere near it.

The damning issue IS Southgate.
Plays Henderson from the start, and keeps Grealish (the other attacking midfielder as well as Saka who could scare the hell out of the French) on the bench until the 89th minute. One wonders what he sees that the rest of us don't...

Needs to be binned immediately...
