Gary Neville was furious at the referee when England were knocked out of the World Cup by France, calling it a “joke” and a “bad tidy”.
Wilton Sampaio’s decision-making was under the spotlight when Bukayo Saka was caught off guard by Dayot Upamecano in the build-up to Aurelien Tchoamene’s opening goal for France.
The French defender was involved again later in the half, appearing to foul Harry Kane as he entered the penalty area on the right, but VAR failed to intervene, deeming contact apparently outside the penalty area.
England finally got a penalty when Saka was fouled by Tchoameni before the VAR intervened to award a second penalty for a foul on Mason Mount, although Kane fired the decisive penalty.
Neville said of the referee: “He had an absolute nightmare. A referee’s joke. I’m not saying it’s all down to the England defeat – people will say it’s excuses – but it’s just bad refereeing, bad rank.”
Neville believes France’s first goal should have been ruled out for the foul on Saka: “It’s a simple decision. He kicked his leg wide – I’m not sure why there wasn’t a foul. He nibbled and kicked it. Be it from a free kick. Upamecano tried to win the ball in three or four Occasions where he can’t win the ball, over Saka, over Kane.”
Explaining to Sky Sports News, Neville added: “I thought it was bad. That’s not me blaming the referee for England’s exit, by the way, I thought it was really bad. I don’t actually say that anymore. I used to play, but it’s rare now.
“I thought it was shocking. We sat right there in that corner where the penalty was with Harry Kane in the first half. I felt like we were on top of it. There were three or four fouls in that area of the pitch in the first half where you’re thinking, ‘How is it not done? Submit that?” It was weird.
“Even the penalty kick awarded against Theo Hernandez was not awarded on the pitch. Don’t think about it. It was a flagrant foul, that. The full-back, thinking he had lost his player and was about to score, double-faulted by pinning him in the back.
“The judgment was very bad.”

“You get that feeling every two years, every four years and you feel a little bit hungry, a little bit low, that’s what I think everyone feels this morning when your team is out of the Championship,” Neville told Sky Sports News. Sunday morning. “I thought the performance was really good.
“Before the match I thought France were the favourites, I thought they were the better team, but actually over the course of the game I thought we were more equal to them.
“I thought in the second half we were better, in the first half I thought they were good in some parts, we were a bit pessimistic but we definitely missed a chance, I think, and that’s not cruel.
“I think that’s how the players and Gareth will feel with the work that goes into getting to this stage of the tournament, the hoops you have to jump through and knowing it only comes every four years and seeing what was in front of them in the semi-finals.
“Morocco did a very good performance, they’re going to be a really tough opponent, but then you think England against Morocco in a World Cup semi-final and again the opportunity doesn’t get any better than that.
Jamie Redknapp says England players will be devastated after their narrow 2-1 defeat by reigning champions France at the World Cup
“I think those lads are going to be feeling sick this morning, they’re going to be feeling down. I took a look at some lads last night, like Jordan Henderson his age, doing that interview, in the back of his mind, he’s going to think, ‘Did I come here again?'” Am I coming to the World Cup again?”
“Kyle Walker who had a great game against Kylian Mbappe, those things are on my mind this morning because I was there in 2006. I feel that way this morning.
“They’ve done a really good job, the times I’ve been out in tournaments in the past we haven’t always covered ourselves in glory with the performance, I think the performance last night was really good. It was those very nice margins, little detail.
“Obviously the penalty that Harry also missed and he took it, but those are things that happen in a football match, but all in all I thought it was a great performance in a really high level match against opposition who had a lot of qualities.
Rob Dorsett describes an ‘unfortunate scene’ with the England national team leaving for the airport after being eliminated from the World Cup following a 2-1 defeat to France.
“There’s nothing worse than walking out of a game of football and thinking you’re inferior and that you deserve to lose, that you weren’t equal and you’re a real fraud, and sometimes I felt that with England.
“That wasn’t what happened last night, we seemed to dominate France for large parts of that second half and were knocked out in the blink of an eye by great play from Griezmann, whose ball into the penalty area was fantastic.”
Neville over England is now technically competing
“The players we have can go forward and the people who will compete in the next tournament will be able to believe that we can compete with these countries.
“In Euro ’96 we were probably against Germany but in 2004 and 2006 we stood on the edge of our own penalty area, really hoping they wouldn’t score, or that we would get penalties or that we would score a goal. with the title.
After defeat by France in the World Cup quarter-finals, England boss Gareth Southgate says he will ‘take some time’ to think about his future before making a decision.
“Last night, England will think this is a massive missed opportunity. I think more this morning than I did last night, just because of the fact that now is the time, and you never know when they will come again.
“I thought four years ago when we played against Croatia, but these lads put us in these situations over and over again, and there was something small that couldn’t get us over the line. But I feel like the right things happen on the pitch.
“Our technical ability is growing and faith is growing. In the past for sure, there’s been an autopsy about exits and defeats, I don’t feel like that this morning at all, I feel like a missed opportunity, I feel that the lads are going to be really frustrated but not where they think they are inferior.” from him, and this was not always the case.

“There will be people this morning and over the course of the next few days they will start to turn things around a little bit and say we have to win these games, we shouldn’t accept that we are playing well and losing, pretending that everything is fine. If you want, that’s not a problem.
“I just look at performance and I think football games are decided on margins and that’s what happened last night. There was a moment last night where I felt like they were there to take it and we didn’t go to take it and they got it and the goal is to be fair in the period after So, it could happen.
“There was an element in me that I thought I would keep grabbing, and we were hanging on and holding the game, but you have to cross the line, you just have to, the best teams, the ones I remembered, cross the line.
“But I still feel like that’s the evolution, it’s part of the journey. I thought we played well, it was a game we could always lose. We probably all thought they were favorites and maybe they would win by six goals out of 10 games if we played against them.”
Bellingham and Maguire attack the referee: ‘Really poor’ – ‘Not up to par’
England’s Judd Bellingham said after the match that referee Sampaio was “not up to par” for such a big occasion.
Asked about the official’s performance, Bellingham told ITV: “Not great if I’m being honest, not great. Anyone can play a bad game, players and referees. I think he wasn’t where he should have been today in terms of level for such This game.
“But there are more factors to why we lost, it’s definitely not me who put everything on him, it was us who played the game, but yeah I don’t think he was up to it tonight.
“I think there was a little bit [fouls] Around the penalty area in the first half, we’re killer on set-pieces, and I think any one of those can make the difference.”
As Harry Maguire told the BBC: “Really bad, very poor. From the first minute, there were five or six fouls in the first 15 minutes, not a single yellow card. It’s a foul on the first goal, which led to Bukayo.”
“I can’t really explain how bad his performance is. I don’t want to get too touched because I’m going to get fined at the end of the day. But even though the big decisions were wrong, he never gave us anything, throughout the game he was really poor.”
But manager Gareth Southgate stopped short of criticizing Sampaio, saying: “We lost the game. I don’t think about the referees. France are a great team, with great players. Didier did a great job. Congratulations to them. I just don’t think it’s right, especially when you lose, to talk about the officials.” “.
Café Solhikule and Rob Dorsett analyze England’s World Cup quarter-final defeat by France. Analysis: Referee’s performance under scrutiny
In Qatar: Café Solhkul from Sky Sports News:
“From the start, England fans weren’t happy with the referee.
“For France’s first goal, it looked like there was a clear foul on Saka. On the second penalty, Theo Hernandez definitely should have been shown a red card for that because he wasn’t trying to get the ball.
“And everyone around me couldn’t believe that Griezmann didn’t receive a red card. How many fouls did he make?
“And why did the referee need to use VAR so often? Some of the decisions had to be very clear.
“And why was a referee from Brazil refereeing this match? I suppose he didn’t take charge of many matches with French and English players.
“I thought the referee’s performance was questionable.”
