    Man, if France can’t score when the keeper is out… SMH

    Terrible attempt, should have at least got it over the keeper.

    I knew Spain could win, but I didnt expect them to make France look like the USA.

    France hasn't wept like this since the great Brie shortage.

    I remember years ago Spain were one of those sides neutrals loved watching because they games were often very entertaining.

    Now they are much much better but just not as fun to watch because so often the other side simply doesn't get a lot of chances to do anything.

    You would never know from watching today that France is an offensive power house. It's not a knock against Spain, just the way it is.

    Deserved win for Spain. I think they beat either England or VARgentina.

    I thought Spain had a good chance to win but I never thought they could nullify France's attacking line like that. Fantastic performance.

    If England (fingers crossed) manage to make the final, not sure how we can beat this side outside of a smash and grab kind of win.

    I think England have a better chance of getting something off a set piece than France did.

    Even though I think England are better i kind of want to see Argentina as otherwise it's just a repeat of the Euro final. It's more interesting with a Euro vs South American side.

    That said i just hope for a more entertaining game than today either way.

    What a washout. French didn't seem to have a game plan. I don't blame Mbappe although he was caught offside far too often. At least he showed some urgency. I expect a rerun of the 2010 final whoever Spain play and that was a lousy world cup.

    Very surprised by the French. Seemed to have no answer to falling behind.

    I still think England will prevail tomorrow.

    I think tomorrow will be better. Generally when England and and Argentina play it's pretty good. Although the 2002 game was a dud.

    Impressive performance from Spain. England or Argentina will have their work cut out to beat them.

    I like your confidence. I hope you're right, too. Can't underestimate the Argentinians. They'll give this everything to get to the final.

    Infantino announced today that he's appalled by Maradona's 86 handball, as it only came off one hand. As a result, he's decided to allow Messi to use both hands today.

    He can use both hands to wipe away the tears from his eyes after England teach them a lesson.

    Think this ends the usual way - Ingerland lose to the first decent side they face - but out with the lads and pint in hand, so here's hoping and all that shite...

    England fans are badly outnumbered. Sounds like a fuckin River Plate vs Boca Juniors game.

    ^^^^ I was thinking the same thing. I’m getting Riverplate-Boca Jr vibes here.

    I still think England is gonna win.

    Absolutely no football played in that quarter. You can see the plan from the Argies already. More pints required.
