And there you have it England beat the league one teams but still struggles to get past the Premier League teams in tournament football Yet Morocco beat 3 elite teams all with top grade footballers. How do you explain that? Therein lies the beauty of football I suppose

It’s so disappointing yet so predictable. Italia 90, Euro 96, WC 2018, Euro 2020, now this, all tournaments where England had very good teams that could or should have won with a bit of luck. I’m beginning to think England are jinxed because something always seems to go against them and they certainly did not deserve to lose last night.

We were the better team. But we lost. Again A book to read Why England Lose, By Simon Kuper https://www.audible.co.uk/pd/Why-England-Lose-Audiobook/B004FTCEAQ?source_code=M2M30DFT1BkSH121515013C&source_code=M2M14DFT1BkSH082015011R&&ipRedirectOverride=true&overrideBaseCountry=true&gclid=CjwKCAiA-dCcBhBQEiwAeWidtRt1dCpUcmKgFriR1iCPVBxXaAIjD0uoPc-vsA1AsKZppGRVW01eoBoCDAkQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Nothing you can do about the first French goal, but England will be disappointed with the 2nd. One moment of quality from Griezemann and Giroud and that was enough. I always thought Giroud might score rather than Mbappe. I was lucky enough to see 1966. It won't happen again in my lifetime

In the end England failed again Germany 4 World Cups 3 European Championships Italy 4 WC 2 Euros France 2 WC 2 Euros Spain 1 WC 3 Euros England 1 WC, 56 years ago And we think we're good at football

Penalty hoodoo strikes again

Has to be a pen

Giroud always scores

Good old Arry

Hardly rocket science though, is it? People have been saying it for months.

That's a penalty

And there you have it..... what an awful day

It's been a rubbish sporting day so far, come on England

Tomasson has lost the plot as far as I'm concerned. He needs to have a rethink It has to be said Rovers don't have enough good quality players either Money needs to be spent in January or it will be a slide down the table for the rest of the season

Blow the whistle ref and end this agony. Great start to the sporting day.... just watch England lose too

Look like the victory over Ajax in Spain that everyone was drooling over was a bit misleading Eh what?

Preston have a simple method in the short time I've been watching...... play in your opponents half of the field instead of your own

I've only been watching this about 10 minutes and we're second to the ball all the time. We just don't look interested. This is as bad as anything under Mowbray

Just tuned in Let me guess... both goals conceded by messing around at the back?

That photo shows why no one should support the likes of Argentina. Van Gaal has questions to answer about that poor Dutch performance - why did they only start playing when they went 2-0 down and then retreat back into their shells in extra time? Hopefully Croatia will wipe the smiles off those scumbag Argentinian faces, Messi included

A display from the Netherlands there for about 20 minutes of how England might have played under Sam Allardyce Hands up who doesn't prefer it to boring pass-pass keep-ball?

This brilliant World Cup continues to give Come on the Nedders

Come on the Oranjes. Neymar and Messi going home on the same day would be something to celebrate

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssssssssssssssss! Excellent

Brazil have won enough, and their supporters are too entitled It would be brilliant if they went out........ on penalties
