France won the World Cup semifinals against England 2-1: a Kane miss from the point sealed the Three Lions’ exit.
is in the semifinals. After a brilliant game, the Les Bleus defeated them 2-1. The goals came from Tchouameni and Giroud for France and Kane from the penalty spot for England. The Tottenham star had a chance to equalize with a penalty in the final stages, but shot the ball over the goal. The referee Sampaio from Brazil also made one or two misses. We take a look at the network reactions.
Aurelien Tchouameni made it 1-0 for France with a great long-range shot. As glorious as the goal was, England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford also had his share in the game, according to some.
However, the Tchouameni goal should not have counted due to a Griezmann handball and an Upamecano foul beforehand. Understandably, the Brazilian referee Sampaio was targeted by Twitter users. He then whistled some actions a little absurd against the Three Lions.
England went into the dressing room with a somewhat unfortunate 1-0 deficit. After the break, however, the Three Lions ignited the turbo, created chances and deservedly received a penalty after Tchouameni fouled Saka. Harry Kane turned this into a deserved compensation.
The game increased in quality, whereby the poor quality of the referee at least receded into the background a little.
England had top chances in the person of Saka and Maguire, but then, as is usual with Les Bleus, the French struck coldly.
The joy of the French did not last long. After an unnecessary foul by Hernández in the penalty area, Kane stepped up from the spot a second time – and hammered the ball onto the upper tier. Incomprehensible! Now the suffering was again on the side of the English.
England’s only threat came from a last-minute Rashford free-kick. After a memorable game, the islanders are packing their bags as France face Morocco in the semi-finals.
