Nothing that Courtois and Hazard hadn't previously stated to be fair. Anti-Football France

I could only imagine the headlines if this was 'English Ooligans'. No class those violent French thugs. . . 2 dead in French WC Football Riots

If Dack was more Ronaldo than Rooney, perhaps he could step up to the plate. If only I was his agent: "Drop the drink and the bints and let's give it a go".

Utterly depressing final. Controversial VAR penalties, lucky deflections, dodgy free kicks, set pieces and as the Belgians put it 'anti-football' . . then World Champions. Makes you realise that had even just one of our so-called stars like Ali bothered to turn-up this World Cup was these for the taking as it was littered with mediocrity. Platini's World Cup.

Genuine question about yesterday's game. Why the hell did Southgate bring Ali on for Loftus Cheek? Gareth's Tombola?

Wiltord was a really good player on ISS Pro (PsOne).

He's better than Welbeck, so . . . . . .well, that kind of says it all about the state of English strikers. . . that there really isn't much to chose from. Vardy is probably finished now (where England are concerned) so . . . .well . . . . the future doesn't look as bright as people are making out.

So. Does anyone think Southgate will (or can) improve tactically? I know the usual suspects were creaming themselves over the Prem Boys (notably Hazard and DB) as usual. But for all England's failings, Belgium basically played defensively and on the break. England dominated possession and had more shots, and arguably had more chances to score. . . . Yet we still managed to 'comfortably' lose as they picked us apart on the counter.

He's on a par with the poor man's Heskey. ?

What? No DSS?

Well, at least we didn't end up being Serena Williams. An easy route to a final and then ultimately found out. . .??

Lancashire Lightning won!

Does Kane have fitness issues? He always seems to vanish - I wasn't even sure if he'd gone off or not at one point. There were several times when the ball flashed across the box and we had no striker there attacking it. On the wane? Meh! 3rd place game sucks. It's ruined the World Cup . . . .

I usually watch cricket ?

I don't want to say it again but, hell, Phil Jones . . . .I wouldn't even want him back at Rovers. He's diabolical. What did they do to him? What have they done to Rashford (that has gone sideways at best)? Man Ure you've got a lot to answer for.

So. Did anyone enjoy this 3rd placed game? It's just been one bag of frustration. 3 lions and 3 defeats. Suddenly the heroes are coming home deflated.

It's well past Kane time now. Get Welbeck on ?

Can't finish again. The reason we aren't playing tomorrow. Jones is such a pub player, lol. Man Ure could start getting a reputation for ruining young England players.

What's up with Kane?

Loftus Cheek the best player . . for England.

They've changed their tune on ITV. From 'it's coming home' to 'they are playing a testimonial'.

Nadal v Djokovic is a really good game guys. 7-7 final set . .

He doesn't go missing I'll give him that. Unlike that Ali guy.

I'm with you. I have a feeling that after the dust has long settled, this tournament will be seen as a big failure. There's a reason that England don't do well in the World Cup - and that's because we always lose to the first decent (1st tier) team we play. Even back in 1990 with a supposedly better team . . . Belgium and Cameroon awaited . . and then of course the first decent team put us out. It's just the way it is . . . . This WC was a massive opportunity missed, and it might never ever happen again. I doubt France will be talking about their young team being better in Qatar should Croatia do the unthinkable.

How about a FIFA console tournament on the big screen? That would get the smart-phones out en masse.
