  2. Ronaldo denies rift with Portugal team-mates

    Morocco 1-0 Portugal

    Cristiano Ronaldo has taken to Instagram following Portugal's exit at the hands of Morocco yesterday.

    He has not given a definitive answer on his future but has denied "turning his back on colleagues and country".

    "Much has been written, much has been speculated, but my dedication to Portugal has not changed not for a moment," he said.

    "I was always one fighting for the objective of all and I would never turn my back on my colleagues and my country."

    He added that winning the World Cup was "the biggest and most ambitious dream" of his career.

    When you play badly and you put your hands up and say the other team deserved it, it is easier.

    When you play well, create opportunities and still lose, that is demoralising and harder to accept from a player's perspective.

    Football is brutal and that is probably why we love it.

    Best squad for generations? A relegation battling keeper, the most abused and mocked CB in world football? Quarter finals is about par for that 11, the final and a win would have been a miracle. Hope Southgate stays.

  7. 19.4m watch England's defeat by France

    England 1-2 France

    England's defeat by France in Qatar was watched by an average UK audience of 19.4 million viewers, TV figures showed.

    A peak five-minute audience of 21.31 million people tuned in to ITV (and +1) to watch the end of the World Cup 2022 quarter-final match on Saturday.

    The five-minute peak of 21.31 million was the most-watched single channel TV moment of 2022 so far.

    The most-watched overall TV moment this year was during the Queen Elizabeth II's funeral in September, when a peak audience of 28 million people tuned in across various channels.

    Really tough result to take last night, I am gutted. Somehow seems worse when we deserved to win rather than if we had been outplayed. I said before the tournament this should be Southgate's last and I stand by that, whenever we play a top team we can't get past them. Only reason to keep him is his good relationship with the team and lack of alternatives.

  9. 'France have options'

    Antoine Griezmann was a joy to watch. There were moments where he dictated play and sat in the midfield.

    Kylian Mbappe will sit there and think, 'he had a great game because I did my job and created the space for him'. Aurelien Tchouameni had acres in the middle for his goal; we had three players one side of the pitch, three players on the other because of the threat of Griezmann, Ousmane Dembele and Mbappe.

    That's a good side, they've got attacking options.

    Gareth Southgate has taken his team up against the world champions and lost because of a missed pen/missed free kick/Maguire header going narrowly wide. These are tactically impossible to mitigate for. Only one team has won every match at a tournament, so he negotiated the group stage as well as can be hoped (win well, don’t lose, win well). ‘Abject’ failure is harsh considering they lost their last final on pens and last night’s match by fine margins. I say let him go to Germany and see if they can make that final step.

  11. 'Not only my team-mates, my brothers'

    England 1-2 France

    A number of England players have been tweeting their emotional takes on Saturday's defeat during the day.

    Midfielder Mason Mount says "the heart and determination of this team has been nothing short of inspiring, we wanted to go further, but it wasn’t to be.

    "Proud to call this group not only my team-mates, but my brothers."

    Dane GSY: I think it’s time for Gareth Southgate to go. Success at recent tournaments is great, but luck of the draw has played a part. In the knockout stages we’ve beaten Senegal, Colombia, Denmark, Ukraine, Sweden and a very poor German side (by their standards). All teams we should beat.

  13. 'FA want him to stay'

    Gareth Southgate is not the type to make rash decisions. He's got the experience to draw on from previous tournaments and how emotions can cloud decisions.

    The FA's position is unequivocal. I know they want him to stay, I've had those conversations.

    The energy from a tournament can be quite draining and he's got to have time to make the right decision. His feelings have fluctuated before.

    Moroccans are still basking in the glory of Saturday's unexpected victory over Portugal in the World Cup.

    The "Atlas Lions" keep roaring on in the tournament - having already swept aside Belgium and Spain.

    There's a saying in Morocco that "nothing is certain, but anything is possible" - it seems to sum up the country's remarkable journey in this World Cup.

    Fans in Doha were beside themselves with excitement: Morocco has broken a glass ceiling by becoming the first team from Africa and the Arab world to make it to a World Cup semi-final.

    The day after the match in Qatar, back home, there's still a sense that Moroccans can't quite believe what has happened.

    Anas Saout Rih is a sports journalist with the Moroccan national broadcaster 2M, based in Casablanca.

    He says the team's coach, Walid Regragui, has instilled the feeling that the sky is the limit.

    On Wednesday, Morocco will face France. Moroccans are well aware that this is a chance to defeat their former colonial master. France are the current World Cup holders and the favourites, but for Morocco, anything is possible.

    Emotion is the big word. Everyone knows Gareth Southgate is a smart person as well as a smart manager. He knows not to jump into situations.

    If you say something in the heat of the moment, it is difficult to go back on. It is better to take time and reflect on things and make calculated decisions.
