Terrible attitude on times Rayns. but you're right he is 100% quality the composure he had to score his goal tonight. Mr deep and meaningful Keown and Jason Muhamad on the same show, FME's |  | |  |
| Our World Cup coverage on 09:02 - Jul 19 with 1470 views | swancity | Well done England Third place in the World. And that game against France was the most entertaining and enjoyable game Iāve watched in a long time. Two teams attacking each other, getting players forward quickly with the emphasis on attack. Glorified friendly? Not when thereās a third place, a bronze medal pride and FIFA rankings involved. You can say if was football from the old days. Players expressing themselves with the shackles off. Not being over coached by coaches trying to out do each other, instead leaving players get on with it albeit with a game plan which in this case was to attack and quickly in numbers. Excellent stuff fair play šš» |  |

So are England better with or without Kane. On yesterday's showing probably without, yes he scores vital goals but in a flowing free scoring side would his goals have been "vital". |  | |  |

| Our World Cup coverage on 10:15 - Jul 19 with 1383 views | RichardO | In the semi final the choice was twist or stick with what they had, they stuck it wasn't enough. How many times have we not gone on to get that second goal and I am not talking about kamikaze tactics of Martin and Williams but at time when a team is blitzing you you have to go on the offensive with intent. Tuchel took all his ammunition off the pitch in the semi, against France he kept pace on the pitch. French game a total one off set of circumstances entertaining second half, missed first half, ELO tribute down the Grrand, France could have racked up a number of goals but they were under pressure to get back into the gam but didn't take their chances. Game reminded me of the Leeds game a few years back in which Spences poor defending opened up opportunities for us or was it his good attacking play undid us? Maybe the game exposes Tuchel"s Semi final mistakes all the more. If anything the game against France, showed what both teams could do attacking wise. [Post edited 19 Jul 11:11]

In that sort it f fane Toney and Watkins were redundant and if little value . There is not coming after Kane . Several level down Wales have no one coming after Kiefer Moore . Toney stuck out like a sore thumb. |  |

Boundy Mbappe looked uninterested in the first half, but came out for 2nd half a different player and leading the French revival, he was his usual self in that 2nd half, the difference between last nights game was massively different from their capitulation against the Argies in that they kept playing and not sitting back like a minnow in a cuptie trying to hold on to a lead against a bigger team. |  | |  |

Just like you to cherry pick a comment from another poster, France were awful in that first half they didn't turn up until after half time, 2nd half was a great half, 1st half England had it all their own way, because of France's seeming attitude to the game. Before the game I thought they would have put the same effort in that first half as they did in that 2nd half to send Didier Deschamps off in style. |  | |  |
