Was thinking about Willock before, he really just needs to add consistency to his game. If he does, he’ll become an England player but most likely squad than ever first team

Ronaldo going out and having a shit tournament has been a highlight for sure, I think this tournament has been weaker than ever before on new names / stars coming through which is a shame but maybe that’s just more indicative of scouting networks being so comprehensive these days. I would have liked maybe a few more howlers or dramas on the pitch and the refs have been awful in the knockouts but I’m delighted Messi is still in with a chance of the World Cup and really pleased for Morocco. Fairly happy with where the semis are at but if it’s France - Croatia again I’m going to struggle to get up for the final

Cannot even imagine being hungover and having to work, just couldn’t do it to myself

What were those rumours? Talk of dodgy dealings? I can’t remember what the noise was

You don’t get to become North East Top Dogs by taking a day off New page wanker is it?

Dyche is actually a likely candidate, wouldn’t be popular but would be seen as a safe option by the board

I’m not sure there’s a player that fits the bill of a ‘Howe project’ than Pulisic

Morocco are a really enjoyable side to watch in my opinion, they don’t dominate the ball but when they have it, they move it really quickly and have some lovely players to watch on the break

Whatever my feeling is about finding Croatia quite a boring side to watch, their performance in major tournaments is remarkable. They produce really good footballers but they also seem to be incredibly United and play to their limit every game, especially against difficult opposition. Mentally they’re incredibly strong

Also, I was disappointed that Trippier lost his place to Walker but I think it was definitely the right call tonight to play Walker. He managed to track Mbappe for pace most of the time

Get Bielsa in if Southgate goes. What the fuck is Aluko on about here regarding Lloris and Kane?

Yeah, I think he’s had enough of being the person to try and hold everything together while being such a target. If he does go, he can leave knowing he’s been one of the most successful England managers in history and done a great job of getting the players to care more about playing for England / reduced the fear England players have of playing in international tournaments. That can’t be underestimated

Massive respect to Giroud in fairness. He’s so good in the air and clinical in general

How fucking awful are France under Deschamps, while also being incredibly successful. So annoying

Really good effort from Rashford

Matterface, you insufferable prick. You have absolutely zero footballing understanding

Pathetic from Maguire there

Looks like the French are going for the Argentina final twenty mins approach of doing loads of needless fouls

At least there should be a ton of minutes added on

Eurgh, thought Kane being dim would help him there but he obviously couldn’t handle it there

Why is the ref watching this multiple times? Such a wanker

That is a pen all day

Fuck off, how easy was that to beat his man to the ball. Need to see the replay but it was a free header basically from four yards

Fantastic save Rex

How is Bellingham 19 man?
