So here we are. Again.

What is going to stick in my craw is watching either Argentina or France sewing another gold star on their shirts whilst ours gathers dust.

It’s like with the City… we know we’re never going to win anything, and all we can ever do is sit back and watch others celebrate success.

By my reckoning, that’s five penalties to Argentina this tournament in six games. Even by todays standards, that’s a shocking stat. All those calling the Messi stat of scored in every knockout round should take note of the big sodding asterisk.

Edit - seven games. Still stinks.

England had two in one game. Difference is Argentina put them away!

Well if that’s a pen , and kanes wasn’t in the first half against France ummmm 

I swear even if France come back and win the fifa officials will hand the trophy to Argentina anyway 

Kanes wasn't a penalty because it was outside the penalty area. On the line be bu***red it was half a yard outside.

France look like they had a very long and lazy lunch with a bit too much vin.

Dembele gets the 1st half crook, not surprising.

This will not please the England players who will think they could have done better.

Well yes, England could and should have done better. Too much passing it slowly around the back to no effect, iffy defence, not making the most of their chances. Sound like another team we know?

Less of a penalty than both of ours* yesterday.

(*Er, I mean penalty claims - not that anyone bothers to claim anymore)

In todays game it’s a pen 

Honestly can’t understand this, he’s clipped his heels twice. Definite penalty, nothing soft about it, dreadful defending

France can have no complaints... They haven't turned up. Penalty may be soft but we would have been screaming for it at the Gate, and been annoyed if our player didn't go down. The second goal was superb. For me a team goal beats an individual goal every time.

If it’s a pen, it’s a pen. Fair play to Argentina for winning them, and to Messi for putting them away
