I think the reigning world champion has.

World champion 1998 and 2018.

Two times European champion.

England is a little bit longer away. I just forgot

Yay. Was excellent to see. 4 more years boys…..4 more years (56 years already).

 

On a side note, thought the Brazilian ref was outstanding

Perhaps someone should look at the referee's bank account, because there were a couple of clear fouls, and one leading up to the French goal, that should have resulted in England having a free kick, and perhaps even a penalty.

 

Even then on another occasion the VAR replay had to be used to overturn the referees incompetence in not awarding a penalty. Sad for England as they played very well.

Well done France 

 

The entire island will scream, "Rigged!"  while their main guy MISSED the entire goal.  The goalkeeper could have been asleep and the "best" player from England missed the entire goal.  You can never score if you do that.....that goal is soooo massive I could hit the net from Soi 6 with one bad leg.

 

It is Africa's year.

England lost because it didn't take the opportunities it had. Yes, they deserved to win, but if you don't take your chances you lose, often followed by finger pointing at others.

Oh dear!

 

What did they lose?

England are an outstanding team. Battle of the heavyweights- something had to give.

The best team doesn't always win. No doubt, England were the better team last night, but you have to take your chances. It's a fair point about France being short of a couple of their main players, but that's often the way.  Two outstanding teams that's all I mean.

I wouldn’t call England outstanding myself. More like less mediocre than usual.

and they were very lucky with a friendly Brazilian referee who gave away 2 easy penalty kicks, imagine if they had the same referee (from Argentine) that Portugal had, similar fault against Fernandes no penalty, another one with Felix still no penalty, 15 to 20 minutes stoppage time but he gave only 8 minutes extra time.... if he had been at England game no penalty would have been awarded as he would be thinking about the Falkland/Maldives/Malvinas  555

Definitely. England should be thanking that ref, not dissing him. 
 

The Argentinian ref would definitely remember. I think his uncle was on the General Belgrano. I’ll let the fact checkers do their “work” on that one though.

In fairness to England they beat Iran, Wales and Senegal, and scraped a draw against a team that can't even get the name of the sport correct. Fantastic World Cup for them.????

The name *Soccer* originates from the UK , Its the abbreviation of Association  Football and was used to denote the difference between Football and Rugby Football 

Poor old Rooster, a Spurs fan as well. ????
