Playing better = how good your general play is.

Winning = scoring more.

Playing well and winning isn't the same thing. Everyone understands this. It's easy to understand this.

The team that plays better wins, the goal of the sport is to score goals, if a team fails to do this they were a worse team than the other. Anything else is a cope.

Still salty over us winning those World Wars I see. Embrace your hatred for England.

What's two World Wars compared to four World Cups? 

[Inverted]

How were England meant to win if France scored 2 and the ref only gave them 2 pens? That means that even if Kane had miraculously scored them both they still would've only been able to draw.

Completely unfair and shambolic refereeing display imo.

Also a couple of Euros on top of that

Germany fought better though.

Germany's overall play was better but the Allies were just more clinical where it counted.

There was no moral high ground in WW1. That was just a shitfight for global imperial supremacy. 
In world war 2 Germany were guilty of unimaginable horror, as were japan. But if you wanted the moral high ground you shouldn't have allied with Russia.

50/50 game, I genuinely think we'd have won the World Cup if we'd won this game.

No hard feelings toward Kane the pressure must have been insane and he's never let us down before.

It's a good squad of players, I genuinely think we will win the next Euros if we give another manager a go with this squad. 

No idea why he took off Saka tonight, he was brilliant.

Also colonialism, the slave trade, East India Company, rampant free market capitalism, classism, racism, and general cultural imperialism.

Who lost Giroud for the winner? Looked like Maguire.

I used 'imperial' for a reason.

No, no, no. I was talking about the tone deafness of England gloating moral superiority over any other European nation

Everyone wants to be us though.

I’m so glad this is turning into the usual shitshow.

[Bluewolf]

No surprises... always failing when it really matters, it's nothing new.. 

The whole England set up should be done for fraud... 

[MUFC]

If you look out to the eastern sky at 10.42pm you should see the ball.

[Reluctant Striker]

Yes, for now, it is just back to normal England. After some terrible years. But I'd much rather somewhere in the Top 8 than nowhere near.

I'm not sure on Southgate. Maybe his journey is done. Maybe it isn't. Perhaps a big name coach can get more from many of this squad over the next 4 years. Or perhaps we would just swap this Southgate era for something like Capello, or Sven. And ultimately be no better off, or move backwards.

I'd love to be starving and freezing and losing my job to a Polish dude (ironic) because my factory shut down after relocating to the mainland.

Thought England were the better team by a long way.  Lloris played a career game made 3 or 4 great saves and he's the weakest link on that team.  Pickford never should have been beaten from that distance and the ref missed an Enlish penalty in the first half.   Though lost to take, think the French should win it now, but with Morocco and Croatia you never know.

Only saw last 15 but gutted for England. Surely France will win this now.
