I think I hate Troy deeney more after every time I see him. Literally championship level and just cannot say a good thing about England whatever the result.
Great hockey match. 😉👍 …. 🤔hmm one moment
this would have been a much better final instead of 2 of the most despised teams playing against eachother
England beating France is the equivalent of Thor going for the head against Thanos in Endgame.
Two most overrated teams played most useless match, that's why it was fun game 😂
That Troy guy needs to be out. We need more positive people in England. Being a Debbie Downer is so yesterday. Stop that negativity energy please and support your country.
Why do France always sleep in the first half?
Troy is Argentine
These pundits are just embarrassing!!They are so incompetent!!they are ridiculous pundits!!
5/10 more minutes, England was going to lose
France wasn’t bothered they know Argentina is already set to win the World Cup, they want to go home not stuck around
Great match!Amazing match!This match should be a final!!Great England!!If England had played in this way against Argentina then England would have won easy!England is the third best national team in the world.Well done England!!Tuchel is a real world class top manager.
All rigged.
Disgraceful behavior from both teams. No honor or respect for the fans or nations. Too big for 3rd place.
Results speak for itself. This was always a game of who cared the least 😅
Unless you win like 3/4-0 this guy will never be happy
"Are you more or les impressed with England?" What a stupid question. It is the best finish England have had in 60 years. It is another step on their progression.
England.
Bring it home.
Wowwwwwwww!
A splendid array of insane motional dimensions.
Time for a knighthood.
FOR ALL!
Kylian ought to be proud.
This game mattered more to France than England. It was Deschamps' farewell after 14 years, while England could easily have treated it like a dead rubber after Argentina. Instead, they responded with courage and character.
Most people expected France to win. Instead, England won 6–4 in the highest-scoring World Cup match since 1958. If Tuchel learned anything from the semi-final, it showed today. A brilliant response and a great way to finish the tournament.
I hate Troy deeney but he's right, neither team wants to be there.
Jeez – it was a game that meant nothing. Well done to both sides for not giving an eff and producing entertainment. Why do these "pundits" hate football so much? Let them get back under their rocks. Pretty sure they were critical of England vs Agentina for defending. Now they are critical for attacking. Basically nothing will satisfy these never-beens.
