GunmaN1905 Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Bin all these 30 year olds and let the kids play. The only man who stepped up today was Henderson, other veterans should be embarrassed. Kids tried their best, but couldn't cover up for all the mistakes. With that being said, France was just embarrassingly bad. People criticized Croatia and Morocco, this was exponentially worse from a team with such amount of talent.

kopsy101 Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Thank goodness for that. Kane had Upamecano in his pocket. Him and Henderson were really driving England forward.

skybluedave Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Ahh nevermind. Weirdly enjoyed that game even though disappointed with loss. I thought we played quite well tbf. But France just a class team but we held our own. Kane was always due a big pen miss at some point considering all the ones he's bagged. First goal was tremendous hit, 2nd a fantastic cross and header. We didn't quite show same quality in final third We all kinda expected to lose here before torunament but we did some good things in the 4 prior games so inevitably raised expectations. Felt like we could have pushed more for a 2nd after we equalised but who knows. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

git2thachoppa Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 (edited) Critics would be FUMING if they were managing England in FM23 and got sacked by the game, after getting easily out the groups with loads of goals, walloped the next one 3-0, then lost 2-1 to the defending champions and favourites after dominating. And already with a record of a semi and final. They'd rant here and if someone said "It's Your Tactics", they'd be bashing that keyboard with a strongly worded retort.
