I'm not gonna be shouting it's coming home because let's face it, England always let us down

I think France are the 'best' team left in the tournament so if England win tonight, I believe they have a real chance of going all the way

Yes, it seems that france are the only best team left, so it will be a good test to see if england have what it takes to go further and to win the world cup

Going by the dreadful game England played against the USA, I struggle to see how they will get a result against a decent French team.

I'm not expecting a great game or an open one for that matter. France will probably have the lions share of ball possession and it be interesting to see how they mix it up.

It will be a scrappy game but I think France will edge it in Extra time

Absolutely agree.

Feel Argentina are too reliant on Messi, even though he's still playing well.

Kinda immune to pre match nerves now

I like to think we will win but know we're up against formidable team who are probably considered to be favourites to win the tournament. Still, I take comfort in knowing it's but a game and anything can happen as we've already seen some of the favourites losing against underdog teams. Fingers crossed.

that MBappe is an incredible player (probably best player in World, alongside Messi), and maybe Ronaldo in terms of talent

for sure, will be a great football game tonight as the competition draws nearer the prize...

Only bit of this world cup I've watched was 10 minutes yesterday whilst picking some food up during the extra time between Holland and Argentina. I did think I was watching rugby as there was a general melee going on

To be fair it made me watch the game to it's conclusion as I've never seen footballers go for a full team scrap before

It actually wasn't a bad bit of sport to watch either. Played with passion and a desire to win - something the games lacked for a very long time IMHO and why I haven't watched it since the last century.

Lay off the haribos pal 2-1 to England are you kidding me lol (Ms Fox). Not watching due to the commentary alone making me want to swallow my own vomit! I feel duty bound to support France due to being taught their language in high school, well that and I'm proud to be Scottish oh yeah and the media alienate everything English, console yourself with the fact that better teams than England have already went out

You are aware penalties are awarded when someone is fouled in the penalty Box meaning that they possibly could have scored anyway right!

Just pointing out the what you said is untrue! You clearly don't understand why a penalty is awarded.

Don't I?

Clearly not if you don't believe a penalty is a good goal.

Okay dokey.

I do take my original post back as it seems they can't score penalties either....oh well!

how well did Scotland do in this world cup?

Was wondering how long it would take you! That's the thing...we know and admit the Scotland team aren't that good...but we don't rip them to shreads when they lose.

Just waiting on the "Southgate should be sacked" brigade.

Agreesd, and it's low to use any team who has been knocked out as cheap point scoring at this stage. England don't deserve to win IMHO, even if it's just to wipe the smugness off the obnoxious fans faces.

I expected nothing less "

Me either

well it is England we're talking about. No surprise really is it, just what's expected with England.

I'm not having that as they have played brilliantly and been fouled right left in centre and had really biassed refereeing.

Ok, if England are so good, think back to when they last won a world cup, how many years?

The blame will be put on the ref...then Kane...them Southgate. That's the trouble with some England fans, they just can't admit that the team weren't just good enough on the night.

i think you will find an Historic game is way back was 56 years ago when Engerland won the World Cup on a Dodgy decision.When does it become an embarassment that it has been so long ago.

As there can be only one winner of any competition I assume you think all the others 'bottled' it ? I guess everyone who isn't successful in everything they do is just a 'bottler' rather than someone who worked hard, did their best but lost out to someone who was better or luckier than them ?

I'd rather acknowledge their efforts and those of their successful opponents rather than mock and belittle those who tried their best.

England have gone out in the knock out stages more than anyone else.

Ok, if England are so good, think back to when they last won a world cup, how many years?

You forget the Ladies did it

The England Women's team won the Euros, not the World Cup. In the last few years the Men's team have won the World Cup at under 17 and under 20 level.

Well, they still won and the Mens team bottled as usual

Whats with the eyes? It's true though, they did and they did

As there can be only one winner of any competition I assume you think all the others 'bottled' it ? I guess everyone who isn't successful in everything they do is just a 'bottler' rather than someone who worked hard, did their best but lost out to someone who was better or luckier than them ?

I'd rather acknowledge their efforts and those of their successful opponents rather than mock and belittle those who tried their best. "

Don't assume you know what I'm thinking and whether they bottled it or not they weren't just good enough to win on that day. France were the superior team.

And what about the people above who were slating the Scottish or people who slated the Welsh. Not having a pop at them are you

Maybe English football just isn't as good as some people think it is? Maybe QFs are England's "place" in football? Who knows?

If you can find anywhere where Ive attached the Welsh or Scottish I'll address that. Saying England weren't good enough and saying they 'bottled' it are two completely different things. The first is obviously true with no shame attached in losing to a fine team, the second implies that those who fail at something are mentally weak which I reject but you endorsed.

Clearly England are historically a top 8 level team rather than top 4. No shame in that in what's the world's most competitive team sport where more successful countries such as Germany, Brazil, Italy and France have larger populations. My experience is that most sensible fans and pundits are completely realistic about this, but I hope we're still allowed to dream every couple of years ?! Roll on 2024

As suggested, that's the limit perhaps.

Can't beat the better teams when it really counts more often than not. The stats suggest this.

If you don't knock them out yourself you go out.

Bellingham best midfielder in the world. Kane best striker. Kyle Walker best RB maybe. This is the platform these players are put on

It was a good game. We played well. We lost. Its sport. Dust yourself down and go again. Best game of the world Cup so far.

Though wish they could find some consistent refs and vars as some very strange decisions in most matches which do no credit to the tournament.

As an Irish man I have to say England were r*bbed, I counted 3 stone wall penalties that the ref ignored and waved off, var failed in a big way on the night, its supposed to rectify bad refereeing, and Harry kane to take his 2nd penalty of the night also a bad decision, anybody else would have buried it, too much pressure on 1 man..

You didn't say that though did you! You said you were glad the smug look was wiped off the English fans faces, no point pretending you haven't deliberately whipped up controversy in this thread because you have. You are now trying to defend it but it's not working.

Of course not but just making the point that they don't have financial worries and don't need to worry about heating their homes or choosing between that and eating.

So mental health problems don't affect the rich? What are you on? "

It's an absolutely shocking attitude. We don't have to worry about choosing between heating and eating so does that mean I can't have any mental health issues.

Ok, if England are so good, think back to when they last won a world cup, how many years?

You forget the Ladies did it

The England Women's team won the Euros, not the World Cup. In the last few years the Men's team have won the World Cup at under 17 and under 20 level.

Well, they still won and the Mens team bottled as usual

Whats with the eyes? It's true though, they did and they did

As there can be only one winner of any competition I assume you think all the others 'bottled' it ? I guess everyone who isn't successful in everything they do is just a 'bottler' rather than someone who worked hard, did their best but lost out to someone who was better or luckier than them ?

I'd rather acknowledge their efforts and those of their successful opponents rather than mock and belittle those who tried their best.

England have gone out in the knock out stages more than anyone else.

That suggests a problem with pressure. Blowing your chance when it counts

That to me suggests bottling it

An interesting approach to mental health and resilience.

That's why they employ sports psychologists etc

You absolutely implied it. That's why at least 3 people have read into it that way.

Is it not better that sportspeople don't need counsellors at all? The vitriol spouted by the press and often the British public at sportspeople they perceive to have failed/under performed is toxic and unnecessary. We all have bad days or difficult days at work. Just for most of us, our "failures" aren't broadcast live, worldwide, for all to criticise.

But that is what they signed up for being a high profile team and sorry but I would probably have more sympathy if their wasn't so much vitriol and hate spouted by the fans when these things are aired and people on the forums rinsed the Scottish and the Welsh but nobody stands up and says that's not OK.

England got beaten because they were not good enough. That's a fact"

I'm Welsh, as you know. I supported Wales and honestly, was ambivalent about who won last night. But I don't agree that any sportsperson, irrespective of nationality or sport, signs up for abuse. They sign up to play their sport at the highest level and that's it. Whatever is spouted on here about the non English home nations should be nothing to do with whether we think sportspeople are open to excessive criticism and abuse. My comments refer to all sportspeople, not just footballers and not just English or home nations. All sports. All nations.

"Lost 7 quarter finals. More than anyone else in the world.

That's because we have got into more quarter figures than anybody else.

As suggested, that's the limit perhaps.

Can't beat the better teams when it really counts more often than not. The stats suggest this.

If you don't knock them out yourself you go out.

Bellingham best midfielder in the world. Kane best striker. Kyle Walker best RB maybe. This is the platform these players are put on

Except we got into the semi finals last time. "

'More often than not'

Thanks KC. The cases of mental health issues among players such as the great Gary Speed are well documented. These are just young men and women who often come from difficult backgrounds.

I think he very likely does, yes. It can't have been easy to lose a child. People go back to work after family tragedies all the time and often require extra support. As I've said above, most of us aren't working (and living) in the public eye and making our mistakes live on worldwide broadcast. People like Ronaldo are relentlessly pursued by the media, even in their private lives, which I fundamentally disagree with.

I didn't mock the Scottish so that's not true. Was replying to a Scottish woman that was being exceptionally rude about the English team so I asked her how well the Scots are done in this World Cup. That is not mocking anybody as somebody has said above maybe you need to work on your communication skills because what you are saying is not coming across clearly. You seem to think it's not OK for people to mock the Scottish Welsh or French whilst you have mocked the English and in my opinion that is hypocrisy. You then decided to change tact completely And go after the players mental health.

So mental health problems don't affect the rich? What are you on?

Not said that at all did I?

Perhaps need to work on your communication skills then.

Perhaps you need to look at what I wrote rather than look between the lines"

But people are looking at what you have written that's why they are commenting.

Ok, if England are so good, think back to when they last won a world cup, how many years?

You forget the Ladies did it

The England Women's team won the Euros, not the World Cup. In the last few years the Men's team have won the World Cup at under 17 and under 20 level.

Well, they still won and the Mens team bottled as usual

Whats with the eyes? It's true though, they did and they did

As there can be only one winner of any competition I assume you think all the others 'bottled' it ? I guess everyone who isn't successful in everything they do is just a 'bottler' rather than someone who worked hard, did their best but lost out to someone who was better or luckier than them ?

I'd rather acknowledge their efforts and those of their successful opponents rather than mock and belittle those who tried their best.

England have gone out in the knock out stages more than anyone else.

That suggests a problem with pressure. Blowing your chance when it counts

That to me suggests bottling it

An interesting approach to mental health and resilience.

That's why they employ sports psychologists etc

And they can always pay for a good counsellor with the millions they earn

Not just me though was it? So you obviously werent clear

Obviously I was

Good day to you

And to you. And remember be kind to all

Be kind to all?? Lol likewise hey.

Show me where i have not? Or where i have implied rich people shouldn't suffer with mental health issues?

I never said that though. I pointed out that people are having to choose between heating or eating, which is true.

Is it not better that sportspeople don't need counsellors at all? The vitriol spouted by the press and often the British public at sportspeople they perceive to have failed/under performed is toxic and unnecessary. We all have bad days or difficult days at work. Just for most of us, our "failures" aren't broadcast live, worldwide, for all to criticise.

But that is what they signed up for being a high profile team and sorry but I would probably have more sympathy if their wasn't so much vitriol and hate spouted by the fans when these things are aired and people on the forums rinsed the Scottish and the Welsh but nobody stands up and says that's not OK.

England got beaten because they were not good enough. That's a fact

So rather than being a better person you thought you would come here and slate the English? You can't have a go a people for doing something that you have done too.

Not at all. Just saying that they weren't good enough

You didn't say that though did you! You said you were glad the smug look was wiped off the English fans faces, no point pretending you haven't deliberately whipped up controversy in this thread because you have. You are now trying to defend it but it's not working.

Oh Lorna. And you mocked the Scottish someone else on another thread referred to the French in a derogatory way

Have a lovely day, please

I didn't mock the Scottish so that's not true. Was replying to a Scottish woman that was being exceptionally rude about the English team so I asked her how well the Scots are done in this World Cup. That is not mocking anybody as somebody has said above maybe you need to work on your communication skills because what you are saying is not coming across clearly. You seem to think it's not OK for people to mock the Scottish Welsh or French whilst you have mocked the English and in my opinion that is hypocrisy. You then decided to change tact completely And go after the players mental health. "

I never went after the players mental health. That was mentioned by someone else

So that makes it OK then. And what about the person on another thread. Who referred to the French as 'Froggy' is that OK?

Sorry Lorma. You have long issues with me, you take offence with anything I say. I think you need to step back and leave me alone please.
