If your national football team has lost a big match, it can be disappointing and frustrating. However, there are some steps you can take to console yourself and move on from the loss. Some tips for coping with a football team's loss include:
Acknowledge your emotions: It is natural to feel disappointed, frustrated, or angry after a loss. Allow yourself to feel these emotions, and try not to bottle them up or deny them.
Take care of yourself: After a loss, it is important to take care of yourself physically and emotionally. This may include eating well, getting enough sleep, and engaging in activities that you enjoy.
Talk to friends and family: Sharing your feelings with friends and family can help you feel supported and understood, and can provide a sense of connection and camaraderie.
Focus on the positives: While a loss can be disappointing, there may be some positive aspects of the game or the team's performance that you can focus on. For example, you might appreciate the effort and determination of the players, or the excitement and drama of the match.
Look ahead: While a loss can be disheartening, it is important to remember that it is only one game, and that there will be future opportunities for your team to succeed. Try to focus on the future and the potential for your team to improve and achieve success.
Overall, coping with a football team's loss can be difficult, but with the right mindset and support, you can move on and continue to support your team.

Blame the ref.
Distract yourself by questioning Stuart’s parentage.
Console yourself that at least we went out on penalties with the minimum of fuss.
Really disappointed for England. Played well in that second half. Deserved better. Think Rashford should have been on earlier although in fairness Foden much better second half.
Ok, now is the traditional time to unleash the conspiracy theories.
My main one is that France defended well and England failed to capitalise on their pressure, especially with a missed penalty.
England played really well, especially in the second half. But France are a better team and it needs most things to go for you to overhaul that. And most things went against us - at least three times the ball bounced just wrong in the six yard box, the first French goal came from a foul not given, and England should have had a first half penalty.
That’s the standard we need to be at. Keep up there and eventually we may get the luck needed. Every tournament winner has some luck along the way - France have had some tonight.
I still don’t understand this attitude. It seems oddly parochial in the 21st century.
What you need to understand is that Dickson is an outright Anglophobe - a true racist.
Well the good thing for non-phobes is we have a fascinating semi coming up and I’ll be equally happy to see France win the whole thing or Morocco get to the final. To be fair England-Morocco wouldn’t have had quite the same colonial energy. Not quite France-Algeria but a decent proxy.
Only saw the final five minutes or thereabouts, but though both England and France played well.
Not that I know squat about tactics, plays, performance but my impression was each side playing hard but tired, at a high but hardly perfect level. Except maybe the French goal tender.
And really warmed to Harry Maguire. Despite NOT knowing he existed before just now.
Genuinely curious as to who you think would do better. He’s overseen three solid tournament performances, in this case going out in a narrow loss to the time widely regarded as the best left in it. Half the jabronies we’ve had in the past struggled to even qualify for bloody things in the first place.
England played well and France were average . Not much else to say really , very unlucky to lose .
Luck doesn't enter into it. There is no more powerful force in English football than the Curse of ITV.
Well, there is. I reckon Leon secretly tipped an England win.
Hate to say it, but I think he correctly predicted the score.
He tried to jinx the French by turning his curse upon them, but it doesn’t work like that; a power mis-used turns upon its owner and hence his joke prediction came true.
Our bipolar attitude to England football makes its predictable appearance every 2 years. England can be only terrible or world beating,
The truth is England is a good team, probably not the best, the top 8 of the world is roughly par and a decent result, and if you compare our recent record with other good teams like Belgium, Netherlands, Argentina, Uruguay, Portugal and various others it’s not out of line with form.

What does PB think?
Allez l’Écosse !
Quelle dommage.
Though I’d support a ban on ITV showing games again

No doubt Woke has destroyed the fighting spirit of ar lads will be one theory..
England 57% possession, 16 shots (8), 8 on target (5).
France was mighty lucky tonight.
