I'd say tough luck on going out but I know most of you lot dont really toss about the national team I think this was one of the better England performances without a doubt. Yet not quite the unjust result that some are making it out to be, France got the result without really being at their best. They changed gears when they needed to and got the goals when they were required. Perhaps people were expecting Mbappe to run riot. I get the points in favor of Southgate and agree certain players in the squad aren't really that great (Maguire and Henderson still playing ffs) The biggest problem with Southgate is his unwillingness to take risks and that's the one thing he hasn't been able to change about England in major tournaments. The Euros were there for the taking, so was this Cup. He also doesnt seem to be able to drop his favorite players in spite of form and that also makes his systems rigid. Hate to say it but Howe would win a tournament with this squad in the next 6 years if he got them now.

Oof who was the numpty that gave away that freekick

Even at this age he's so clearly better than everyone else its ridiculous. Just watching him on the ball, doubt we'll ever get to see anything like it again in our lifetimes. I know the hero worship can get borin at times but in his case it's true really

Dear me. So much potential in that squad but an absolute gutless bore or a manager. Same old story for England.

None of that Brazilian midfield have offered anything at Bruno's level. I'd be happy with him not playing, the rest suits NUFC, except it will probably leave him gutted.

Scar And I don't sound anything like that when I rant just FYI

Rashid was outstanding. Got Babar just when he looked settled. Depth bowling from England was great too because at something like 110 with 5 overs to go 160 looked probable. Back to not caring about cricket till the next World Cup, its the exact opposite of football

Absolutely. Not just because its Man Utd, have always found Ronaldo dislikeable. May be one of the greatest ever but its ALWAYS about him, never thought twice about throwing his teammates under the bus if that serves him personally. What a diva.

Fair play lads, congrats, well deserved. England easily the best team in the competition. Our batting was below par, 20 runs short at least. Bowlers did well to try and make a game of it but England looked fairly comfortable throughout to be honest.

The stupendous sliding tackle from Burn right near the end too. Was that on Havertz? Can't remember

Love these crazy bastards to bits

Thoroughly enjoyed the last 10 minutes, it was nervy of course but they never really threatened and Havertz got what he absolutely deserved. It's another brilliant win. Not at our best yet we controlled the game and looked comfortable throughout. Botman and Schar imperious at the back again. Tripper is world class and who would have thought Burn would do this well at LB. Cracking goal as well, not just the finish, it was so well worked. On a day when our final ball was lacking otherwise.

What's the latest on the weather? Should be fun lads. England are clear favorites, but you just never know what to expect with Pakistan.

This ref is an absolute arsehole

It's a shambles. 5 min would have been more than adequate

7 wtf?

What a gem Trippier is man. Just sublime all over the pitch.

Yup.

Starting to get edgy now. Need a bit of composure in midfield again

Get in you beautiful bastards!

Aye that would been harsh. Good stuff from us on the whole. Says something that we're controlling games against these now. Get Wilson on and better final balls in, we can win this

We've been in control. Good performance without any clear chances so far

Longstaff's final ball has been lacking but he's gotten in great positions

Passing really off today. Even from Bruno

He loses the ball everytime he gets it man
