The Round Ball Game - II

[teamsaint]

"could have"? Should have, more like. So blatant.

Ref can’t red card for that unless deemed violent, I think.
exasperating.

C'mon Jack, up and at 'em

Love to see Rashford on for Kane, to run at the central defence....Grealish not seeing much ball yet...

England much more in the game since Hendo came on.
Just need to get Jack on the ball a bit more.

So here we are.... once again......with nothing left but - hope.

I never watch penalty shoot-outs.

Shame they can't let GS take one to make up for 96.

England can be proud of a terrific tournament. Some things weren’t right tonight, but not the right time to pick it all apart.
Our national team is doing the English game credit now, and you haven’t always been able to say that.

The tournament has been a ray of sunshine in bad times, and, bread and circuses or no, I’m glad of that.
Been a pleasure sharing it with you football lovers on here.

Odd choice of penalty takers?

[Bella Kemp]

We are a nation who apologise when people step on our toes or bump into us. It simple isn't polite to win anything - and seeing those last two sweet-natured boys lining up to take their penalties one knew that defeating the other side just wasn't in their souls. Strangely, I find it heartening.

Genuinely terrible, rather than odd .Either senior players bottled it, or Southgate messed up the choice. Saka in particular , who was way off it tonight, despite being a player I really rate.

Yep it's been a great tournament and it's been fun sharing the ride with fellow footy forumistas
I suppose WE have made progress since Russia, doesn't feel like it right now though
Devastated, I'll take a short break from the forum as others have done and rejoin you guys when the proper football starts
