I am irked. Not about performance or result or anything like that.

Belgium's second goal. De Bryne goes to shoot, but our guy manages to kick the ball away first, and de bryne ends up kicking our guy. No studs showing, he kicks him in the leg. Ref gives free kick, ok wtf, goal scored, VAR doesnt check the free kick, or decides it was a foul.

Im totally losing faith in football when you can put in a tackle like that, clean, and still give up a foul. Sure the ref might get it wrong, but when goal is scored is it not checked ?

Nothing like leaving Europe, is there?

Back to the 70's and seeing England getting hammered all over the place.

Belgium got lucky, both teams were OK - nothing special. The funniest part was the ref allowing Belgium to foul as much as they liked with impunity. Had even 50% of the fouls or cards been given England may have got something from the match. Kane is looking tired. Should have started with Calvert-Lewin. Plus there was no way England were going to win with Walker in defence - failed tactic, please move on.

Red and Blue Army!

Pickford was not criticised by the pundits for failing to prevent the opening goal even though he got a hand to it,because of the slight deflection it took en-route to him.

Over the years I have heard goalkeepers who have got a hand to the ball but failed to keep out the shot criticised with comments such as "He will be disappointed...."
Perhaps there are some who felt he could have done better.

whilst i find southgate annoying
(more of a politician)
at least he gives younger players a run out & does not stick with the same regulars game in game out.
hopefully we'll get a bit of payback with some good luck at next years euro finals

Kids,tired of being bothered by your pesky parents?
Then leave home, get a job & pay your own bills, while you still know everything.

Agreed, seen it happening more and more these days and it always puzzles me, you kick the underside of someone’s boot who’s just taken the ball, and you get a free kick, bizarre.
