Missed the first two goals as I was watching the Rugby, when i turned over I almost choked on my crisps!

Oh, it matters. Imagine if we were losing 4-0.

France haven't turned up but we have been brilliant and shows a lesson has been learnt at least.

Maybe we should bring on 6 defenders and try to hang on!

England folding like a cheap suit in the second half.

Yet again, amateur defending by us!

That was the most entertaining pointless game that England has ever played and come very close to losing a 4-0 lead.

Lets not analyse it too much but overall good entertainment!

Well the main thing I got out of the tournament is that England has incredibly terrible defenders, save Spence. I don't know if Englqnd's tournament would be different if Tuchel just brought Maguire.

France forwards are exceptional when in full flow so not sure why that makes our defending amateurish.

At the end of the day tonight's game showed how well we can play with no pressure. I believe we have learnt a lesson from the semi-final so let's try to be positive.

What a fantastic game of football that was!

Main thing I took from that game is that it could have been 1966 again if Tuchel was half the manager we need for England. Basically it took him showing our team and himself up to depart from a failed selection and substitution script.

Too depressing to watch. Spanking the French just shows what we missed. And how did Saka not start, let alone play, against the Argentines?

Good lord, I've seen some miserably sad sports fanatics who only choose to see the sad side of life, but I prefer to look on the bright side of having had the privilege of witnessing one of the best sporting contests of all time.
Same went for Fulham's comeback against Man City.

The bit I  saw,  Saka's goal, had their keeper running around like something out of Monty Python. Switched off then as game was just a farce.

Needed to watch that last night a great watch and a good England performance with attacking football.

That game was great fun. Very entertaining, some exciting open football from both sides. A bit like a pantomime at times but all the better for that. Oh yes it was!

I guess neither of the teams wanted to be there but, once they were there they wanted to win, what a exciting game to watch, I can't understand how some can complain, surely that's what we all want to see fast attacking, sloppy defending, some great skills, it had everything and we won. It was no farse or pantomime for me, I want more of that.

Just goes to show how good football can be when there is absolutely nothing riding on it.

Not Fulham though, I remember as soon as when we had first place sown up in the Championship our performances fell off a cliff. As well as the numerous seasons when we reached 40 points in the PL.

Should have let Mbappe score a hatful to stop Infantile's poster boy win the golden boot.
