It was disappointing to end up 0-1, but we showed our mentality when we carried things on in the second half and equalized. We gave it our all and unfortunately it wasn’t our night.

Despite the loss, experts praised England.
— it’s a reminder that sport at the top level is just as brutal. England were fantastic and the best team but you have to give France credit for the way they managed to win, says former Manchester United captain Roy Keane on ITV.

– a huge achievement
It was England who took the lead in the game, while France relaxed and waited on the counter-attack.
That’s exactly what happened 17 minutes later. Mbappe sprinted forward, with the ball eventually finishing off Tchoameni. The 22-year-old curled the ball into the corner past an unchanged Jordan Pickford.

TV2’s Myhre said it’s a massive achievement to score from there.
– Ann Sturd said in TV 2’s World Cup studio, that it is Tchuameni who will score his first goal this season, and his second goal with France, I would not have put the money.
England looked for an equalizer and put Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris through several tries. The Frenchman fought back well, but was forced to concede when Bukayo Saka was awarded a penalty in the 51st minute.
Harry Kane took a long time before shooting his clubmate. In the end, he hit the ball into the corner.
The winning goal came after 78 minutes, after a great header from Giroud. England didn’t get close to Kane’s penalty, and they have to go home.
Goal: Giroud (France) 1-2 (78′)
– It’s unusual. We did very well in defense after we took the lead. It reminded me of the game against Belgium in 2018. Unfortunately we missed that penalty. It was a very tough fight. We knew the potential of this English generation. We played a strong game. I’m very proud of this team,” match winner Olivier Giroud tells TF1.
