Is this now as the pressure of the world cup is off or the egotistical pricks are on the bench? Whatever it is its a joy to watch. France seem to have no answer.

I always thought the B team was the second team, but after seeing the score and all the comments, I guess it means the Best team :lol: :lol: :lol: Shame they saved it until after they lost the semi :roll: :roll:

I would not go quite as far as that :lol: I think if it went to Extra time England would have blown it. Bellingham's goal was at the right time.

Nah, England are one of the best teams on the planet. Not winning the World Cup is a disappintment for the fans, but it doesn't take away from the fact we're so much better than everyone else, well except Spain and the Falkland deniers! :thumbup:

Last night the Lucky Lucky men were selling dozens of Spain shirts.
But all were the cream shirts. Very few red shirts.

You know what, last time I was that nervous about a semi I was sitting on Jimmy Savile's lap.

Steady game and Spain look favourites.

But, I'll say it again. I've watched 5 Spain games and Lamine Yamal hasn't stood out above his team mates.

My Spain shirt is old so went to buy a new one.
I couldn't buy a shirt without his name on
