Hello :) I think England will win. Argentina play very slow and very centrally, without width. England should be able to contain that. A slow game will suit England who play slow football themselves and I think England will be able to get through this. I also think it will unfortunately be a dirty game though, I do think Argentina are going to try and get a player sent off. If England go down to 10 I think Argentina will win but if it stays equal number England should have enough

it’s their own fault. Every time they go in front they stop playing. Not good enough

It's not coming home this time. Disappointed but what will be will be. Try for the bronze on Saturday night. I hope Spain go on to win on Sunday night. We still have the Lionesses hopefully they'll qualify for next year's women's world cup. I'm Disappointed of course. I thought we were almost there when we scored. Pickford was tested a few times.

Would the World Cup not be more at 'home' in Buenos Aires? Argentina have won it 3 times to date. 😉
BTW, Jordan Pickford is an amazing goalkeeper. 👍️

They never learn. It is the same problem tournament after tournament. Whenever they go in front they stop. They also have a historical problem with running forwards with and without the football which I’ve kept saying throughout. Really, they shouldn’t have been in this semi-final. They showed against Ghana in the group stage they were not good enough to win the World Cup. Argentina as well haven’t been great. On tonight’s showing though they deserved to win and England will once again not learn from this. I predict the same at the next Euros: sideways, slow football with lack of initiative. And if they score first they will stop playing altogether. It’s a historical problem

Argentina face the prospect of disciplinary action from Fifa after their players celebrated the World Cup semi-final win against England with a banner in support of their country's claims to the Falkland Islands.

Disrespectful but I can't see what FIFA can do to punish them only a heavy fine. It's not gunna change anything.

I understand why they move to play defensively when they have the lead and it has paid off for them up until last night, but I think Argentina expected it and it played right into their hands.
Disappointing result but I'm still proud of our boys!

They did so well, throughout the whole tournament. Absolutely gutted, but we lost to one of the best.

My grandparents lived around the back of Blundell Park, and the Mariners Players themselves often used to train on the playing fields of my secondary school. I used to go to all their home matches as a teenager. Mind you, it was only about £2.00 admission fee then! Happy days!

we should all write to fifa and get england reinstated in to the final, a very tongue in cheek comment

That isn't the most fanciful suggestion I have heard today, and unlike yourself, they weren't kidding! 🙄

just out of interest what suggestions have you heard

There were some deluded souls wanting England awarded the win over that silly banner. They have obviously not heard of losing gracefully, a skill we Scots have become masters at!
