Gutted, better side, let down by poor officials and a hopeless pen from Kane.

Doesn’t help when you stick a number 10 on the wing. And before you say he does it there for city….any number 10 could do it there for city.

Sad to see them go out. The better team for me but what a cracking game of football.
I don’t like the World Cup, prefer the Euros. Far too much cheating and crap referees.
Been great to see the improvement in the lesser known nations.

No in the critical moment ..Pickford poor for the first , also foul on saka we stopped momentarily… greizman cross we were poor defencively…. I think also we could have done subs circa 70 mins……. But i do believe if we had scored that 2nd pen we would have won.. but we all know that at centre halve we are not as strong as we could be

If Kane had scored the penalty won by Mount, would you still be saying Chelsea Muppets?

We weren't scaring the French to death.

ur an idiot mate, imagine waiting for England to lose to jump down the neck of Southgate. We were the better side there against the tournament favourites and defending champs. I'd rather go out like that than against Iceland.

Can't be too critical. Close game of few chances. Just about the better side edged it in the end. Said it before on this thread - but France had more when and where it mattered.

Terrible substitutions. Foden and Saka were on fire. Very upsetting. I gather that the FA are keeping faith with Southgate though, irrespective of tonight’s result. More than very upsetting.

Rice was basically a passenger all game, 2 yard passes expert.

Ref was bent as ****

Kane is a centre forward, not a midfielder

We hype up our stars as the best but then watch the likes of Modric and Griezmann, they are real superstars

Southgate is a terrible manager

All of you who are clutching at straws think about this:
We haven't scored from open play, in fact we couldn't convert both pens.
We are crap, just accept it.
Still haven't beaten a so called elite team away from home since F knows when.

Far too slow in our build-up from the back and with Henderson and Rice in midfield. We are good upfront at times but our supply to them is poor. On the positive side it was good to see Henderson get through the entire game, we should build the team round him.

At least Rooney’s, who I rate better than Kane, record is still intact for now.

Too many penalties (ironically) to make up Kane’s numbers.

Ah well - we were the better team. No disgrace there. I truly feel tonight was the World Cup Final as I think whoever won tonight would go on to win it (we will see). A shame, as it always is.

All aboard the Morocco train now, and back to the real stuff tomorrow.

Are you on crack?
Mount had got himself into the box and a potential goal scoring position when he was fouled and won a penalty for it.

I know your all upset and emotional, but there's no need to get all daft too.
