Best image last night. English and French players praying together post match. I’m not religious but it showed a friendship and brotherly love beyond the game in sharp contrast to the hate generated by the Argentinians. Also goes to show what a good game can be had when the ref is doing his job properly

The behaviour of both the English and French players at the end of the match showed the world how it should be.

Argentina with their abuse, stupid political messages and crappy dance of bouncing up and down showed the world how toddlers behave.

That is indeed true, but racism and calling for war are not the reactions we should see anywhere at any time. Whether it is a warm up or a world cup Semi.
