Peter Jenkins Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 They were before Croatia equalised! I have to say that I thought that Brazil would crack in the penalty shoot out and I was proved right. Full marks to Croatia. Just hope we play as determinedly as they did right from the start. If we press France it's bound to cause them to make mistakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leccyflyer Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Kane's second penalty was nowhere near. After fighting back and getting back in the game, in the ascendency, they simply couldn't finish it. Giroud's excellent headed goal was worthy of winning the game though. Hope that they go on to retain their title of World Champions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john stones 1 - Moderator Posted December 10, 2022 Author Share Posted December 10, 2022 Well that's made me feel sick. ☹️ No grumbles from me though, Southgate and our lads acquited themselves well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought England played quite well in the second half against the world champions, even though they didn't make a huge number of chances. Neither keeper was particularly over-worked on the night.

Ernie Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 It was certainly an exciting game of football, Hugo Lloris, was magnificent, but credit to all the blues. Suppose morocco will be a much more difficult proposition ernie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

England had opportunities to score - indeed should have scored normally - and Kane just had a bad moment. I would have expected England to beat Morocco as I think France will. Morocco were excellent at pressing and taking their chances. If you don't take your chances you lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john stones 1 - Moderator Posted December 11, 2022 Author Share Posted December 11, 2022 In the days of the Longbow, football was banned and a two fingered salute to the French was common place, last night they stuck two up us. You win some, you lose some. Media ain't weighed into our team, that tells you what the English think about the teams efforts, however there have been reports from Dublin, Cardiff and Edinburgh of errant footballs landing in gardens. 😉 Chin up, some be the Euros. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Cracknell Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 The worrying thing is that we were relying on a penalty to get us to extra time. We supposedly have a world class striker but France still scored 2 more goals in open play than England did and with a reduced strength team to boot..!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suppose morocco will be a much more difficult proposition ernie He was under-worked, never had a difficult save to make the whole match. England's tactics suited the French very well. England had more possession but most times when France intercepted a pass it seemed to result in a direct attacking move on England's goal. I'd like to see what percentage of England's possession actually took place in their own half. IMO England will never win a tournament with Southgate in charge. Yes he has improved the team but done it from a defenders perspective. They still lack the belief that they will win as opposed to they think that they have a good chance of winning.

Don Fry Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Trouble is PatMc, Champions win, until knocked off perch. Until then, the wannabe champs try. Source, Fergie Time, remember that. I think France (club mates don’t read this forum), is a serious team. Suspect they will win the Cup. As in grind a win, if necessary. Please note. England has a smaller population to choose players.
