Was it a good game? I’m caving in and going to watch tonight but will stick a rainbow on the side of the telly to remind me of the cause we are having chats about

There's a difference between showing emotion and making damn sure everyone knows you're upset. What Ronaldo just did was the sporting answer to checking into a Hospital on Facebook and putting "Not sure I'm ready, don't want to talk about it though"

The front page of most world papers tomorrow will be a photo of him crying as opposed to Morocco's celebrations.

What gives you the right to tell people how to show their emotions?

It's fucking pathetic. Can you imagine if Charlton, Moore & co burst into tears upon losing their 1/4 final in '70?

What a stupid comment.

Anyway, who's this Nadia on ITV? 

Some danish football chick. Did tou see Souness before the game? Was hilarious. Talking about how other teams won’t want to play England. “I’d like your view Nigel, (pause while he remembers) oh and yours Nadia but I was thinking more from the Netherlands view” 🤣🤣🤣

Crying is fine mate. It's just that he's a cock and I'm happy to see him upset.

of course, I hope we throw the final.  Don't want to win this grubby world cup anyway

I’d like us to win it then refuse the trophy unless they wrap it in rainbow Colours

Wow! Well done Morocco.

I don't like to see a man cry, but I'll make an exception for Ronaldo. 

Is it just me or has the crying level been ramped up beyond all comprehension and sensibility this tournament? Used to be reserved for missing a pen in a semi or final shoot out. Now they're blubbing like babies after getting knocked out in normal time in the quarters. Pathetic.

First time in my life I’ve ever genuinely thought we can win the World Cup. We may well not but it’s nice to imagine.

Whatever anyone says if we lose, this team is good enough to win it. If we lose it won't be because we don't have the quality.

A really tall one as well. Is she from the Amazon?

Is that a 'tallist' comment? 🙂

Just along the lines of what I was thinking. Go up to get the trophy, put on rainbow shirts just as they get there, walk past all the complicit dignitaries on the podium, optional rude gesture to Infantino, and then go off to unfurl their support for women, migrant, LGBTQ+ rights banners and celebrate with the fans, possible fake world cup raising moments with them.

Football comes home, but with extra dignity. 🙂

Not the first for me but in 1966 I was convinced we would win.

 

But earlier in the year I was far from convinced I would see First Division football at the Dell but we did thanks mainly to Terry Paine and Martin Chivers with Paine being involved with the World Cup

We should play the final in rainbow shirts if we really believe in it.

I was wondering if the shirts could be reversible for the final. FIFA threatened unspecified/ unlimited sanctions for wearing rainbow armbands. As winners, England can tell them where to go with their sanctions.

have they asked them what it’s like to play in a world cup quarter final yet? 

Jill Scott has, against France, and she scored. ( England lost on penalties though ).

Need to be braver with the full backs or this is going to be USA all over again, except against a much more clinical side who will punish us.

Fucking cheats. That's a foul all day long.

It was a foul but that doesn’t make them cheats. I think T-Rex arms should have got to that, personally.

Presumably you are claiming the ref and VAR are the cheats ?

Whether it was a foul or not, 4 attackers against 7 defenders and scored from 25 yards - piss poor defending.

Yep. Mbappe walked through us, and the closing down was half arsed. Should have done better.
