Are we interested in the World Cup Now

[Stoneleigh Loyalist]

At least our last World Cup representative will now be coming home hopefully fit and largely rested on the bench.

Yeah, agreed.  Kind of surprised he wasn't given more playing time though.  Good for us, good for FFC.  Next order of business.......Palace.

Yes, no excuses for us now we should have a fully fit squad ready for the Palace match and the 3 points are there for the taking.

I hope we really are 'fully fit'.  I still have my doubts regards Mitrovic.....

Well we havn't seen a lot of world class ,attractive football in this W.C but the surprises and interest has been there in every round.
Come on , who would have expected Croatia and Morocco in the semi finals with Brazil, Germany, Spain, Portugal and Netherlands all out of the tournament.
England v France tonight is huge.

If Mitro is not fully fit by Boxing Day then something is seriously wrong and he should be rested and have full medical treatment, nothing but a fit Mitro can be expected to perform in the premier league.

In disbelief Palhinha was benched for Neves who was god awful against a more physical team

Good for us though! Glad to get him back uninjured and good to go!

Tonight's referee would do well in the Championship.

[bill taylors apprentice]

For all the pressure England players deal with in the PL and European games fro their clubs there's a nativity in their play and lack of game management when in the crunch games like tonight.

Yet again we lose a game rather than the opposition win it!

[filham]

So England coming home , yes we fought well and  we may have a couple of grumbles with the refs decisions but really the French were the better side. The bottom line was we didn't score a goal in 100minutes in open play while the French scored two. There attack had more speed and punch than ours.

What now , Southgate to lead us into the Euros or a new manager.

Also our slow build ups had a hint of Parker Ball about the.

[Mince n Tatties]

The Under achievers is what we are in world football I'm afraid.
Won it once on our own patch,never abroad never won European Championship.
It's time for the press to keep quiet until we do win something....

I don't agree with that assessment.  England were the better team in a close contest.  I agree that the French scored two quality goals, but I don't think that was about speed in attack or a quicker build up. One was a fine long range shot, the other a superb cross for Giroud.

[Plodder]

A really frustrating defeat. I think England and France are the two best teams in the tournament, and with Morocco missing players througb injury and suspension, I thought before the game that tonight's winners were very strong favourites to reach the final and probably win the whole thing.

[Southcoastffc]

A Croatia v Morocco final would be very refreshing.  Can't see it though. Instead it's likely that the media and pundits will be drooling over Messi v Mbappé.

Refreshing? Croatia were also in the final in 2018 haha , would rather someone else

Totally agree. I thought we had a good WC. Looking forward to Euro 2024 in Germany. Hope Southgate stays but hearing he might have had enough. Who would you replace him with? Arsene Wenger too old?

You call beating Iran,Senegal and Wales a good WC.
MK Dons would give them three a game.🙂

It could have been a good World Cup for England but as usual as soon as we play a team rated higher than us, we lose! Not many chances left for people my age on here to see England win the World Cup again but at least we will remember 1966 and of course Englands right full back!
