    Not that many managers out there, but Southgate far too negative in my book. Where was the creativity in midfield?
    My money is on Croatia now

    I’m guessing some on here will now be back to being concerned about gay rights or the treatment of foreign nationals ?

    I’m thinking of a word beginning with “H”

    I screamed at the ref a number of times and couldn't believe some of the decisions that weren't given in our favour. I was watching with a mix of neutrals or French fans so was dismissed as being biased, but reading through here either we are all biased (which, let's face it, is a possibility) or the ref did give them more than us.

    That said, missing the target from the spot, even with all the pressure on, is very disappointing. Worst part was the walk back to the station past everyone dancing and cheering, then the 40 minute train ride home in a carriage full of happy fans. Torture.

    Let's face it. The ref was a **** and England should've won, this was QPR v Bolton. England were by far the better team. We had the the Brazilian version of Keith Stroud tonight. ****!

    On reflection though don't have Spurs players in your squad, serial losers. Or Mason Mount, lost his last six finals, Sterling and Mount over Rashford and Grealish .... useless ****

    As an outsider looking in……

    English brand of football is very attacking, however, when they play as a national team, they stop playing that type of football and revert to trying to match European teams at their own style….. why?

    I said before the tournament, England have the players, just not the right type of coach.

    It concerns me the FA want Southgate to continue.

    With the FIFA World Cup in full swing, U.S. law enforcement authorities appear to have seized the domain names of several popular sports streaming sites. The targeted sites, which include score808.com, hesgoal.com, freestreams-live1.com, and weakstreams.com, each have millions of monthly visitors.

    ball oldSports piracy is prevalent around the world, with more than half of all sports fans regularly using unauthorized streaming services.

    Football, also known as soccer in some parts of the world, is particularly problematic. It’s seen as a gateway sport that turns fans of other sports into streaming pirates.

    This is of particular concern now that millions of pirates are tuning into the World Cup. Keeping this in mind, it’s no surprise that U.S. law enforcement authorities appear to have taken down some of the most used sports streaming piracy domain names today.

    Feds Seize Sports Streaming Sites
    A few hours ago, popular sites such as score808.com, hesgoal.com, 9goaltv.cc, freestreams-live1.com, weakstreams.com, and istream2watch.com became inaccessible.

    Most of these sites have millions of monthly visitors looking to stream sports content for free. That is not an option today. Instead, visitors are welcomed by a seizure banner, displaying the seals of U.S. law enforcement outfits.

    “This domain name has been seized by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) pursuant to a warrant issued by the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, the banner reads, warning that offenders risk criminal prosecution.
    seizures were carried out through domain registrars, which include at least one foreign company, or the Verisign domain registry. However, the latter seems more plausible as Verisign oversees both .com and .cc domains.

    Seizedservers.com
    The domains’ nameservers were pointed at SEIZEDSERVERS.COM. These nameservers are controlled by the US Department of Justice and are often used to shut down sites as part of criminal proceedings. The same happened to several Z-Library domain names last month.

    The domain seizures haven’t been officially confirmed but it appears to be a coordinated attack on sports streaming sites. TorrentFreak reached out to the Department of Justice and the IPR Center but we received no immediate responses.

    Whether anyone has been arrested, as seen recently in the Z-Library crackdown, remains unknown. There are no immediate signs that any servers have been taken offline either.

    Domain Name Switch
    The seizures are undoubtedly a major blow to the sites, most of which have millions of monthly visits, but whether they will stay offline is unclear.

    Stream2watch, for example, has already moved to a new domain name at istream2watch.stream and remains accessible. Other sites may also attempt similar comebacks.

    After your post I checked Hesgoal out - it had the game, but with Chinese (I think) commentary. ReleaseSky had English commentary - so hopefully one of them will be good for the Burnley game later
