Are England still in the World Cup 2022? Heartbreak for England English players. It’s the end of the road for the England team in Qatar. Maguire England Out of World Cup After 2-1 Defeat to France

England’s World Cup dream lies in tatters after being knocked out by holders France in their quarter-final clash.

England captain Kane misses second penalty kick against France

I knew Harry Kane was going to miss that penalty. He and Lloris are teammates, and there is no way that he was going to score twice against him from the spot. Managers and players have to look at small details like that and should’ve had someone else take it.

After going 2-1 behind, England had a glorious chance to draw level following a foul on Mason Mount but Harry Kane blazed the resulting penalty over the bar.

Absolutely devastated again, but in a way actually a little relieved because I can’t keep going through this with England, how those travelling fans do it is beyond me,
But I won’t criticise any of those players because England were outstanding tonight, absolutely outstanding.
Congrats to France though, they found a way.

France took the lead in the 16th minute when Aurélien Tchouaméni struck a fierce shot through the legs of Jude Bellingham and beyond the dive of Jordan Pickford.

England claimed Bukayo Saka was fouled in the build-up but despite the protests, the goal was allowed to stand.

And shortly after there were strong claims for an England penalty when Kane went down under a challenge on the edge of the area but after a VAR check, play was waved on.

I have to say England dominated the 2nd half, was significantly better than France, but somehow after the equalizer, England stopped being aggressive and it seems they were afraid to win.

England seemed to take back control in the second-half and in the 51st minute Saka burst into the box and was brought down, with the referee instantly giving a penalty.

Kane lashed it into the top corner to bring the Three Lions level and equal Wayne Rooney’s record as England’s all-time top scorer.

But in the 78th minute Olivier Giroud beat Harry Maguire in the air to power a header beyond Pickford from Antoine Griezmann’s cross.

Jordan Henderson: ‘I thought we gave everything’

Neymar Jr knocked out! Croatia 1-1 Brazil in normal time & 4-2 on penalties. Here is Why Brazil Crash Out of Qatar World Cup on Penalties vs Croatia

The Croatians did a similar surprising performance in the penalty as the Moroccans did against Spain. I hope that Morocco and Croatia will meet in the final for a rematch.

It’s safe to say, you should know by now to never underestimate Croatia, it’s not in our DNA to give up until the final whistle 🇭🇷

It was a shame, Tite taking out a player as decisive as Vini Jr was the detail. Brazilians have never seen Brazil play SO BAD in a Cup final, it’s impressive how they are weakening. Tite had 2 Cups and didn’t even manage to reach a semifinal.

All credits to the Croatians too, now I’ll be rooting for them, they deserve it for being so brave and never giving up. For me, I once again regret Brazil disappointing an entire nation.

Why FIFA tournament favorite Brazil are out of 2022 World Cup after losing to Croatia on penalties

Brazil, the number 1 favorite to win this 2022 World Cup, is out of Qatar 2022 after losing to Croatia on penalties 1-1 (4-2) in Friday’s dramatic quarterfinal.

It had looked as though Neymar had won it for Brazil after he scored a stunning solo goal in extra-time – tying Pele’s international scoring record for the Seleção with his 77th goal – but Bruno Petković broke Brazilian hearts with a last-gasp equalizer to send the game to penalties.

According to CNN, It was Croatia’s goalkeeper Dominik Livaković who was the hero yet again in the shootout, saving Rodrygo’s first effort before defender Marquinhos saw his attempt hit the post which sent Croatia through to the semifinals. Livaković also saved three penalties in his side’s victory against Japan in the previous round.

“Definitely something special against the favorite,” Croatia defender Dejan Lovren told reporters after the match.

“We said in the last half of the last 15 minutes, don’t stop believing. Everyone said that and we knew it. We knew we would come back no matter how hard it was in some moments.”

Qatar 2022: Why Brazil Crash Out of World Cup on Penalties vs Croatia

It was a dizzying end to another remarkable game in Qatar which took until extra-time to really get going.

Croatia seem to only start playing when they go behind. They seem to play with pens from the start of the game. I have never seen a nation so confident at pens. They know they won as soon as the whistle blows to end the extra time. You do not see their players gulping and licking their lips in fear as you do with every other nation.

England vs France Qatar 2022 World Cup Quarterfinal Analysis

“Never underestimate your opponent” has never been more clear in this World Cup.

Even the Brazilian Coach resigned and tactically Croatia played incredible football and the amount of talent Brazil has is astonishing and for them to be backdoored like that is crazy and I don’t even want to talk about the errors Brazil made. This is the wildest World cup I’ve ever seen and I’m looking forward to the France and England game.

I was shocked to see Brazil go out in this manner! Fair play to Croatia! They are in the Semi-Finals once again! I thought Brazil were going to go to the Semi Finals but I was wrong. I didn’t say Brazil will win the World Cup.

Five of Croatia’s last six matches at World Cups have gone to extra time, including in its penalty shootout win over Japan in the round of 16 in Qatar. The team has been successful in eight of its last 10 knockout matches at the tournament.

Brazil was trying to return to the semifinals for the first time since 2014. The team hadn’t made it to the last four since hosting the tournament eight years ago, when the Seleçao was embarrassed by Germany 7-1.

Are Manchester United out of the race for Jude Bellingham as Liverpool make him their priority signing?

Here is Jude Bellingham to Man Utd Latest Transfer News. Sky Germany are reporting that Manchester United are probably out of the race to sign Jude Bellingham as Jurgen Klopp has made the Dortmund midfielder Liverpool’s number 1 transfer target.

It’s beautiful to see United fans themselves worry about players destroying their careers coming to their club. Magnanimous from them

Can’t wait to see him in the Premier league. His quality can see a lot of teams wanting him.

Love this kid for England.

Still, as Romano has previously written, we can also surely expect the likes of United, City and Real Madrid to be in the race for the teenager, and if his price keeps rising, it might rule Liverpool out of the running.

“About £130m is the benchmark. If Bellingham – and we heard he’s very convinced to go to Liverpool – he’s convinced about Jurgen Klopp

 It doesn’t matter if Man United were interested in Jude Bellingham in the first place or not, that name Man United will always be a selling point for media articles and marketing tools for agents to take advantage of.

If United were to buy Bellingham, there would be too many solid midfielders to play in the starting lineup, and United have Casemiro, Fernandes, Fred, Van de Beek so there’s really no point for United to sign this man.

Here is what Fabrizio Romano tweeted about Jude Bellingham to Man Utd Latest Transfer News

‘Untouchable’ – Borussia Dortmund’s position about Jude Bellingham is still clear. They won’t negotiate with any club to sell Bellingham in the summer, there are no talks. Man Utd, Chelsea as many other clubs appreciate him, but Jude is considered ‘not for sale’. 🚫 #BVB #MUFC #CFC “

Don’t get me wrong, he’s a brilliant player with a lot of potential in the future but his playing style fits Liverpool a lot more than it fits United, so it would be a good signing but how much will they offer for him if they put in one for Bellingham?

Fabrizio: LFC is “really pushing” for Bellingham

Italian football transfer guru Romano is one of the most reliable journalists in the sports industry. He claims the interest for Bellingham is real from the Merseyside giants. Though Man City, UTD, Chelsea, and Real Madrid are still in the race.

But the player admires Klopp and it seems like Liverpool are already preparing for something big in the January transfer window.

Jude Bellingham Latest Transfer News

Meanwhile, the growing bromance between Jordan Henderson and Jude keeps LFC fans intact for their possible future partnership in the red half of Merseyside.

Romano has previously revealed in his column that: “Liverpool, Chelsea, Man City, Man United and of course Real Madrid really want him.”

Jude COULD also be moving to the City. His best mate Haaland now plays there and has been talking it up, plus Jude’s said he wants to play under Pep and let’s face it, if it comes to a financial battle between Liverpool City and Real, there’s no way Liverpool can hang as their current owners are too cheap to pony up what he’ll likely cost.

Is Jude Bellingham going to Liverpool or Manchester united?

There were rumors of BELLINGHAM saying his future was at Liverpool in the England dressing room a year or so ago. I don’t see him going to Spain so I think it’s highly likely to be a shoot out between City, Man utd and Liverpool.

PSG appreciate Jude Bellingham but know it will be difficult to enter the race now.

Liverpool are still pushing for England’s World Cup star, while Chelsea, Man City and Real Madrid are also still in the race

My concern for Liverpool will be that I can’t see them going too high in the bidding war and they need to finish the season strongly to get him, however it is the most perfect fit stylistically. At City his good mate Haaland is over there so I could see that being where he ends up too.
