Typical. We manage to get a lead, give them a glimmer of hope, and then proceed to collapse in the most predictable way possible. Does anyone actually believe we’ve learned anything since the last time we played them, or is "heartbreak" just our official national strategy now? Typical ITV coverage, too—making a tragedy out of a game of football.

Absolutely gutting to watch. I can't believe we let it slip after Gordon's opener. For those of us still learning the game, how does the refereeing actually work in these high-pressure moments? It felt like so many calls went against us. Tough one to take.

Brutal way to go out. That Gordon goal had me thinking we finally had the run, but those late heartbreaks are the worst—like losing a perfect game on the final level. Absolute gut punch. Do you think we had the right lineup to close it out?
