Rashford is fucking shite.

Nice assist from king kev

Duncan furgeson 2.0 is a walking calamity

So England failed to beat any team ranked above them and some wankers are making it out like there should be a fucking Gareth Southgate statue erected.

Ridiculous

Better pass from Hazard and that would have been 3

They should make a statue to ping pong balls since the luck of the draw got them this far

I would replace him. This World Cup has shades of Euro 96 about it in that although we got the Semi Final, the game v Holland aside, in the other games we flattered to deceive a little and we won 2 out of 5 games. Similar story this time round for my money. Southgate has looked out of his depth and comfort zone when the going got tough. Maybe it’s inexperience and maybe he will improve tactically, but I must say I have my reservations.

He's a one trick pony with no 'plan B'. It looks like Kane's world class luck is rubbing off on him.

Kane manage to have a shot on target today or not? Missed the second half.

I don't listen to post game commentaries on the English channels that much , but listening to these idiots on ITV is incredible. The ex rags are just simply thick.

After every World Cup everyone always says, “root and branch rebuild”, play a young team and build up the squad and have some hunger. Well we fucking got that this time, came 4th when every single fucker on here thought we’d play 1 knock out game and go home. We are only a Midfielder unlocker like Gazza away from being genuine contenders in 4 years, when the rest of the squad will be much better. This World Cup did exactly what we needed, rebooted England and prepared for the next 4 years.

Maybe Foden will be that missing piece. Instead of that shit house Delle Ali.

Remembering Holland and Italy weren't even in this world cup, and Portugal, Spain, Argentina, Germany, Brasil got knocked out early on - do you genuinely believe England are one player away from being contenders? Add to that Belgium destroyed England today. France would too. Croatia beat you. England failed to beat any team ranked above them and the only other team that scored less goals not from a set piece were Iran.

England finished fourth in the WC. I'll take that. It was an easy route but that's cup football. It always has been. The Welsh were brilliant, apparently, in the Euros but England were, apparently, utter shite. England did beat Wales in that tournament though. They did have one good win only against Belgium with Denayer and Lukaku's brother starting in defence!
I honestly didn't even expect us to beat Tunisia or even Costa Rica prior to the tournament. We have 77 English players starting each week on average in the Prem. The current squad is as weak as I have seen. For me, they have over achieved. Fair play to Gareth. Not world beaters at all but maybe a hint that things may improve.

Bang average , beat a couple of pub teams made hard work of beating an average Columbia minus their best player . Jordan Henderson is fucking shite , Harry Kane a flat track bully who goes missing when up against half decent defenders , Rashford has been ruined by Maureen , Lingard and Deli Alli totally overated . Sterling technically the best player England have but played out of position and gets all the shit off media driven SHEEEEEEEP ! Southgate limited as fuck tactically , resorted to long fucking ball tactics in a World Cup semi what a fucking muppet !!! But the English media have brain washed the SHEEEEEEP everything is ok we did great ............

FUCK OFF , easiest route ever to a World Cup Final and they fucked it up !
Think you called it City64 at the start of the tournament and got slated off a couple of mouthy cunts on here ......... oh well son never mind PMSL

Why are you always so angry?

Kane has not had a shot on target since the Panama game

Are you supposed to be intelligent and polite on football forums ?

Why are people talking about the Belgium game in the Croatia thread?

Mase, I said 1 player and 4 more years of experience. What is the point in saying we had an easy route and Holland and Italy were missing? Holland and Italy have both been shit, beaten by teams much worse. I would have loved it if we’d played Italy or Holland, we’d have beaten them. The route had teams who were doing as well as England. Would Germany beg to play Brazil, Spain and Argentina on their way to the final? No and teams make it to semi finals because they have been good enough to get there.

We’ve seen plenty of teams win major tournaments by having a sound game plan. That’s what England had. Do you really give a shit how the World Cup is won? Remember Greece in the Euros? Do you think they cared that they won nearly every game 1-0 with set piece goals? Winners of these competitions use set pieces as a weapon to unlock games.

I didn’t think England were going to win the World Cup this time, even when we went up 1-0 vs Croatia. It was all about building, building was done. Faith is restored and so is belief.

I got you.

- youngest squad in the tournament
- likeable compared to the shower of dipper and rag cunts that have dominated the squad for the last 20 odd years
- playing some better football
- english development squads in the top 5 at all levels

things are definitely moving in the right direction.

personally, i’ve really enjoyed the last month of football.
