On the evidence so far, Sports Republic are not the masterminds of football they are so keen to allow people to think.

So far so bad from the new bloke.

This is appalling

Brighton have been a far classier outfit so far and I am not surprised that they have gone ahead. Terrible howler by Bazunu though.

I reckon we were almost certainly going down with Ralph. The only thing that has changed is the advent of Jones. It's a long shot Jim, but it just might work...

It’s the greatest.

It’s one of, if not the best World Cup final ever.

Richly deserved equaliser.

France….destiny beckons!

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeers!!!!

Dirty Argie elbowed Loris in the solar plexus.

Couldn’t decide until the anthems, but I am now rooting for France.

France has lethal, ruthless striking prowess. Almost at will.

Interesting how finally, the studio pundits have clearly given up being polite to Walton, and are openly dissenting and showing contempt for his absurd backing of referees decisions, however contrary.

If Walton is right, the nature of football is going to be fundamentally, changed and keepers are going to have to retreat from advancing forwards rather than close down the angle towards them?

Glorious goal

Kane pen: Can't get angry with him but it was disappointing, ballooned over the bar, it should have been on target as a minimum requirement.

Morocco- Croatia final anyone?

Age is a fascinating thing. The last tournament I was utterly gutted about us getting knocked out was France 98, succumbing to Batistuta and Co in that epic game. Since then the response has gradually attenuated to a resigned shrug of the shoulders.

Spot on analysis.

Have to say, the French are being classy in victory towards the England players.

Has he touched the ball?

We are never nasty enough to win the really big games.

Definitely a pen?
