England Vs France Match Thread

[Laughing]

I dont think we've played badly?

The better chances. Bad decisions.

I don't think England have been bad. The French passing is just generally quicker in the final third. I also think France are sitting a little deeper letting England come on, probably trying to release mbappe on the counter

At the time I thought it was outside, but no.....that was a penalty and yellow card.

Ref’s been bought, absolutely blatant.

Bit of classic gallic sh**housery there, I thought the game didn't have to stop unless it was a head injury?
Not with this fully paid up team of officials.

He didn't give a foul yet stopped the game for a perceived ankle injury.

 

[RegBoggs]

It's never been more obvious than it is now that football is corrupt.
Two vital moments that were obvious fouls

You know the more I see that, the more I think, what is the point in playing this game?

We would be doing a service to football to withdraw from the game and shine a massive light into this whole seething corrupt cess pit.

 

[BoroMart]

That was the giveaway for me how corrupt this is, did you see how quickly the ref blew to stop the game.

agreed, yes he was in pain, but it was a great tackle, not a head injury so why stop it?!, then he allowed Giroud to stand 1 foot from the drop ball and force us backwards. Looks like we need to beat the French and ref to win this game

We need a bit of spark

That's interesting mart. I still think it was outside. The still above is from an odd angle.

Couple of bad decisions. Get over it.

 

[TheYorkshireTerrier]

Refs have been garbage in two of the four quarter finals so far.

Couple of bad decisions. Get over it.

Absolutely that.

 

[Centralscrutinizer]

COME ON

 

[Bernieslavenschin]

Referee at this level shouldn’t need VAR to call that challenge a foul. The in or out argument is another thing entirely, but taking VAR out of it that was just bad officiating

 

[Glover_elbow]

There's more goals in this game for sure

 

[TeaCider]

Couple of bad decisions. Get over it.

Hard to get over them if it decides the game.

 

[LowMoorBoro]

Surprised at comments saying France have been comfortably better. Thought it was quite equal and France lead through a long range shot.

 

[Yearbyred]

I think it’s a foul for the goal and also a penalty but I’m not seeing it as a great conspiracy.

Played ok just need a bit more speed in our passes.

Regardless of in or out the box, it was another clear free kick not given.
