England vs France

Pathetic passive English back passing with nobody willing to take the initiative ends in France scoring a soft goal, beautifully taken.

Finally England threaten….great save Lloris.

England look ragged and laboured. Wait until the blue wave starts getting some rhythm...

Half time…..so far it’s not lived up to the billing. Neither side has played particularly well. Walker has done a good job on Mbape….Griessman has looked the most creative player on the park.

Better by England Kane equalizes on a well taken penalty. Ludicrous foul by the Frog

Finally we haveWalker vs Mbape flat out…..Mbape has a yard, fun stuff. The rest of the game should be tense.

Lots of momentum for England….France’s possession numbers must be way down this half. Shots 12 to 6 for England at this stage.

Third time Giroud….brilliant by Griesman and Giroud

France implodes again….penalty.

Kane chokes.

Stupid by the overrated Mason Mount.

Stupid by Maguire and Sterling.

Classical…..English soccer is too mechanical, too slow paced, too risk averse. France were very poor at the back today and the Poms couldn’t even capitalize on that.

Let’s hope for a France/Argentina final.
