Once again, Football’s flight back home got cancelled.
We are now one step closer to a potential 2018 final rematch.

Quarter Finals
Spirited performance. Mbappe in Walker’s pocket. My friend questioned taking Saka off. Otherwise the French will be happy. They did enough in the end. First goal was a scintillating strike.
Was close, thought England were the better team, but France got the job with full class. Another game where M'bappe is nowhere to be seen against actual defenders.
I have to complain about Southgate's subs: why was England's best player (Saka) taken off so early? And replaced with Sterling? Foden was non-existent and plays 85 minutes? Top goal scorer Rashford gets 5 minutes at the end? And he subs on Graelish with 1 minute left, a tactic usually reserved for time wasting? I can't comprehend these decisions.

Devastating. On balance of the game, especially the second half, we probably should have won it. Typically it finds a way of coming down to a penalty. Can't believe Kane of all people skied it like that.
Hopefully a Croatia-Morocco final.

Southgate once again proved that he is not up to the job.
Never rated him and taking the knee once again shows where his brains are.

England out, great!
If you get two pens and do not score from open play, you can’t complain if you lose.

It might be that players like top scorer Rashford or star players Saka, Sterling and Bellingham want to take the knee and it’s important to them. Or Walker with Mbappe sticking out of his pocket. Remember when Sterling got harassed in the papers for buying a house for his Mum? While other players like Ronaldo pile up cars and get Piers Morgan’s admiration.
Love your insightful analysis. Probably why Kane missed the second penalty, the weight of taking a moment after a national anthem to consider the experience of being British has been different for some of its citizens, the recognition that his teammates have experienced bs on their way up and that that is not okay.
Three sentences slagging this team off and not a single football related word in any of it. And no doubt you’d be one of those to say that Rashford should just focus on his football.
