| 21. Author: Dave_1885 Date: Sun 19th Jul 2026. 18:20 The game is still a game at the World Cup. To claim the goals scored mean nothing is laughable. If they didnt matter Mbappe wouldn’t have scored them. The goals count. Reply |
| 22. Author: Berry Date: Sun 19th Jul 2026. 19:10 Don’t think anyone has said they mean nothing? Ofcourse it means a lot to Mbappe, he’s going for the Golden Boot! Reply |
| 23. Author: DBP Date: Sun 19th Jul 2026. 20:46 Would always likely be a better game as there’s no real jeopardy/pressure - unlike say a semi final where there’s a place in the World Cup final to win or lose Post Edited (Sun 19 Jul 20:47) Reply |
| 24. Author: RhinoPars Date: Sun 19th Jul 2026. 21:00 Is a bronze medal in the Olympics worthless ? Obviously not as much at stake in the game, but if you are competitive it`s much better to win a bronze medal than no medal. Also after the disappointment of the Argentina game (and crazy attempt to just defend for the last 35 mins), England will have been looking for redemption and a win. France likewise will have been looking to make up for being well beaten by Spain. As ForesterPar wrote "I think if Scotland had got to this stage we would be rightly applauding their performance in the 3rd place play-off. Sure, the pressure was off, but it`s still a match between two excellent international sides. Credit where credit`s due." Reply |
| 25. Author: DBP Date: Sun 19th Jul 2026. 21:13 This isn’t the Olympics and in football second loser doesn’t mean as much - that’s why cup final losers often instantly take off the runners up medal the moment after it’s been put round their neck after a cup final in a semi final both teams are still ‘in’ the competition and there’s real consequence for losing so it’s much more meaningful and therefore cagey Reply |
| 26. Author: Raymie the Legend Date: Mon 20th Jul 2026. 04:46 Saka was interviewed pitch side after the game. Kelly Summers said something along the lines that he had a bronze medal. I think he stopped himself from swearing ?  It`s bloody tough being a legend Ron Atkinson - 1983 Reply |
