RedRock Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Kane been studying the Tomlin ‘how to take a penalty’ video. Gutted for him.

Mr Popodopolous Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Could have been sent off, their defender for 2nd penalty. We had our moments- make it 2-2 and who knows what happens! Was the penalty shout in the 1st half one we should have had too- looked terrible on the replay yet VAR seemed to decline it. Disappointing though, I thought pre game that France might shade it but we (missed 1st 15 mins) from what I saw, we really deserved better I thought.

collier Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 The trouble with England is they are the only top nation who lose those types of games. France had 1 clear cut chance and a goal from nothing, we had 2 pens a few good chances and were far the better side imo. It's so frustrating knowing that we didn't get what we deserved but sadly that's not what football is about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 (edited) All down to FIFA. They hate us because we invented the beautiful game. England despite plenty of magnificent stadiums haven’t been awarded a WC since 1966…………. The referees England have been allocated have been diabolical culminating in the Latino oaf we had tonight. It’s all part of wider plan to stop England winning the WC again. We won’t win it once more until it’s held once again in the UK.
