    They'll have to hold off on those knighthoods.

    I am surprised VAR didn't also have a look at Giroud being pushed in the back.

    A good game that could have gone either way.

    Walker was magnificent. Him or Saka my motm.

    Mbappe was kept very quiet for most of the game.

    France have done well when you consider they are missing 4 of their expected starters. You could argue Theo is better than Lucas.

    It's a geographical term. The country is not only populated by Arabs....

    My heart sort of agrees. My TAB Pending Bets say otherwise...

    Argentina vs France would be the best final for a football spectacle.

    Argentina will be missing both first-choice fullbacks for their SF.

    So will France. Pavard and Lucas Hernandez. Also missing Kimpembe, Kante, Pogba, Benzema & Nkunku.

    Agree that Argentina v France would be the best final. Morocco are dogged and I like the way they throw men forward when they do break but they looked to be running on empty by the end of their game. They park the bus really well though as do Croatia.

    This is where sky is a problem. My sky box has no power so I can't record the game. If it was on demand like spark I could watch it later. Hopefully it's on demand on sky go but I'll have to run it through my phone and chrome cast as there is no sky go app on my tv

    It's not there yet, but once the replay becomes available, you should be able to find it here on Sky Go:

    I really enjoyed that France v England game - not always the highest quality but compelling and you always felt a goal was coming at either end unlike the other quarter-finals.

    In the end, France carved out the clearer chances whereas England played very well at times but didn't get the bit of luck they needed in the box.

    Not really sure why so many people are complaining about the ref - England had 2 penalties and numerous attacking free kicks. The foul on Kane in the first half was outside the box which is why the VAR did not refer the ref to the monitor. English exasperation at EVERY decision was getting tedious by the end.

    Crazy foul on Mount to give away the 2nd penalty. Tough on Kane to take it - the temptation to double and triple guess yourself must be huge given Lloris is a good shot stopper.

    Final petty observation - Rashford's final free kick was not close despite it rippling the top of the net and it annoys me when commentators get excited about it. Lloris knew it was sailing over from the moment the kick was taken.
