It’s such a fun name, to be fair.
Saka always looked a player, but he’s been phenomenal tonight. When you stand out while sharing the pitch with Mbappé, Bellingham and Kane, you’re doing something right.
So 1 in every 3 of his goals are from the penalty spot. 😐
George absolutely relishes and savors every opportunity to say ‘Upamecano’.
And Walker supposed to be the speed merchant.
England absolutely blessed there. 2 big chances, particularly the latter.
Why on Earth would Rabiot take that on first time with Mbappé charging in unmarked from the left?
England riding their luck since the goal
Mbappe done Walker there.
No complaints about that pen, hopefully France will start to play again now.
20 for England, has scored 17.
Poor from Rabiot TBH
Going on previous 53 mins this is England's game to grab and win.
I think they will drop back deeper now though.
Kane scores from another penalty. How many has he got over his career?
Knew Kane wasn't missing.
I'd worry England to go on and win it now. They've been the better team.
Game back on again.
Well deserved equaliser, cracking second half in store now!
Kane puts it where he always puts it, and it doesn't matter that we all know, no one is stopping it
1-1 game on
Spurs training ground vibes.
Spurs training live in Qatar
I was about to say stop putting needless challenges in the box, and now France concede a penalty. Stupid.
Portugal complaining about the ref for their game
I felt England would need a penalty and here we go
Penalty for the foul on Saka. He has had a good game
FFS. Saka wins a pen. Saka causing all sorts of problems.
132nd time lucky for Saka!
Saka is unreal.
Pen for England
Good thing the ref didn't halt play for the offside, eh ITV ?
Such a lack of consistency in this tournament. Dembele takes the man and then the ball, and gets a yellow for it - as he should. Same thing happened in the box on Nunez for Uruguay and it’s deemed totally fine.
