  1. Someone needs to have a chat with Bellingham. All said and done, he is a kid and he's getting carried away.
  2. Griezmann gets the ball in a good position and provides that.
  3. It's a shame he's Brazilian so probably not considered for that game but this ref would have been great yesterday.
  4. Still neutral at half time, evened up by the things I've been annoyed by so far: France's tactics England fans' trumpets
  5. Typical Deschamps so far. Way too conservative since the goal.
  6. Ref doing the right thing here by not giving too many fouls.
  7. That's a pen if it's inside the box. I think it started outside though.
  8. Going to start off as a neutral and then move towards either team depending on what happens. Either on the pitch or in this thread.
  9. I hate this rubbish about sides refusing to play. Morocco obviously can't go toe to toe with Portugal, especially with most of their best defenders injured. Every time they had the ball they tried to get forward. Even after taking the lead, they had one chance in the first half that could have led to a goal with a square pass and then should have scored again at the end.
  10. Preview Two countries who at one stage fought for a century over spurious claims to a throne go head to head in our final quarter-final. France come into this having swept aside Poland after a few early scares and with Kylian Mbappe leading the goalscoring charts at this tournament. England, meanwhile, topped their group with little fuss as well and similarly overcame some early scares to put the African champions to bed. Winner's prize: A personal union over the loser semifinal against Morocco. Lineups Quarter final history England have been eliminated at this stage six times (1954, 1962, 1970, 1986, 2002 and 2006). They have gone beyond it on three occasions (1966, 1990 and 2018). Reigning champions France have only gone out at this stage twice (1938 and 2014). They have gone beyond it on six occasions (1958, 1982, 1986, 1998, 2006 and 2018). Past meetings They have met 31 times between them, with England winning 17 times to France's 9. The two World Cup meetings between them have both resulted in England wins (2-0 in 1966 and 3-1 in 1982). Here's a couple of their more recent competitive meetings: Zidane scored a late winner from the spot in 2004 after Gerrard played a perfect defence-splitting pass through to Henry. A forgettable game at Euro 2012 finished 1-1. Their most recent meeting saw France win 3-2 at home in a friendly.
  11. Cristiano finishing his career with 0 knockout round goals.
