    Someone needs to nobble the ref at half time.

    The intensity has been backyard kickabout level.

    France's defense looks shaky as fuck. Your lot should get three if they only tried.

    France are making so many errors, we just have to have the composure to take advantage of them.

    Trashford for Saka an obvious first substitution, and then if we still trail, Grealish for Henderson. JG never done a thing in an England shirt that I can remember, but he might do one day.

    Theo Hernandez is there for the taking and Saka just isn’t doing it. Grealish would probably be the most eager to take him on but he doesn’t play on the right so Rashford it should be.

    Looking at those Saka replays, it's an obvious foul (one of two horrendous decisions from the refs in that area of the pitch), but Saka has been so naive not going down fully with South American refs. You have to be aware of this stuff. Bit of inexperience, Kane would have won that decision.

    But yeah, the French left side looks free. Mbappe doesn't even pretend to try to help on defense and Rabiot looks all over the place.

    Allez les bleus motherfuckers

    Fucking spent 45 mins struggling to make shit 10 yard passes between defenders and diving all over the place and they're complaining as if it was the ref that has them deservedly behind. Buzzing for the "they wanted us out because of our LGBTQ+ stand".

    You could write a thesis on how the cultural differences and systemic racism has led to such a stark difference in these 2 teams. One is a load of BLM dons expressing themselves with full confidence and flair and the other is 7 thick gammons, 1 out of place footballer and 3 BLM dons who have had the flair and confidence beaten out of them for fear of standing out too much.

    Bit of a nothing performance from us really (likewise from the French too, but that's not my business), we need to go at them much more in the second half and at some point if we're still behind one of Rice or Henderson needs to come off for at least Mount but probably Grealish. 1-0 down with 20 minutes left will not be the time for more like for like nonsense.

    Kane didn't win the other decision so I am not all that convinced with this ref.

    The premise is of course that it's far healthier to be called a what-have-you to your face.

    If I know England like I think I know England, we'll be all over them for 10 minutes now then go 2-0 down.

    This has been much more like it. Excellent since the re-start.

    If he gave it for the first contact then fine, but Griezmann a lucky boy, was cynical/stopping the break.
