Something tells me that this ref won’t get the final.

Ffs Kane

I thought Ghana were supposed to tire out and collapse?

The truth is we have got three or four, maybe five or six, very ordinary players.

This is even worse than the first half. You can’t imagine France or Spain or Argentina serving up such unimaginative dross faced with a team like Ghana.

Shaping up to be one of those days

Someone needs to run at players and dribble, it will draw fouls and maybe a penalty even if it doesn’t work in terms of creating open play chances.

Hasn’t someone written a book on how to breakdown obdurate defences?

This half is not ending very well for England at this rate…

Turgid stuff with Ghana parking the bus and us not moving quickly enough or passing fast enough.

Messi having a mare!

That was much more of a penalty than a lot of the ones that the pundits seem to think were nailed on yet they didn’t agree with that one. It was potentially broken ankle time with two sets of legs man-trapping his feet. Missed it anyway!

Because some of us don't accept low standards and know that punditry could be at once both enlightening and entertaining.

One of the best aspects of the England performance was the demonstration of the strength in depth of the squad. All the players looked fired up for the tournament whereas in the Wokegate era and prior, there were significant star players who looked like sullen passengers, clearly resenting missing the summer hols.
