I've never seen a live match where a player purposely lied down to prevent the other team doing a tricky liner along the grass (like in the Dutch game). An odd looking, but interesting move to see.
i started seeing it happen either last year or around the covid seasons. definitely a newer tactic that made me think why they never did it before.

Good job England. Decent tourney overall and I think they were the better team tonight. Southgate should of made some changes earlier though

If the way England was marking is sleeping then that would be disrespectful to their efforts defending him. They made him less of a factor today.
Yeah my mistake. Sleeping because they locked him in good. France had other solutions. A shot from goal and a header. Even then England had an opportunity to tie and they couldn’t.

Do feel bad for England. On paper probably the best team in the world, and France missing one of their star players. Feel like England was dominant too. Southgate has to go imo

I reckon France tactic was to play dirty against a side where playing by the rules is centrally ingrained. So rattled England . mind games.. we need to to kick ball’s directly

For years England have been flimsy and breakdown once they concede a goal, southgate england is the most resiliant team in 2 decades if not longer.

I'm French and I think Morocco is the superior team. England played better than us and we won with playing utter nonsense defence.

I don't think we'll break Morocco
france has the individuality to solve a match at any time though..that counts a lot in an elimination match

We might not win anything but we at least haven't been embarrassing for awhile.

What'll be interesting is if it ends up as France vs Morocco then because of their positions you'd have Mbappe and Hakimi lining up against each other. Since they both play and are friends they will know each other really well.

You can be haters all you want but that was just a cunt with a whistle.

Hoping Morocco win (y)

Shake this bullshit up.
You had two penalties LOL France was my huge favorities to win before tournament and now it gets even bigger. Morocco looked exhausted in the second half against Portugal, not surprisingly as they have been playing at high intensity for 5 games now. France only had to sweat at times in this match against England.

Argentina - Croatia after a tough QF they will probably going to play another 120minutes and then penalties.

France has a gigantic chance to make it two wins in a row.

Shame Kane hoofed it but France put two in during regular play and ultimately outplayed them so I can’t be mad. Looking forward to the semis.
