Harry Maguire was scathing of referee Wilton Sampaio after England's World Cup quarter-final defeat to France. The Three Lions missed a late penalty to take the game into extra-time after controlling the ball for much of the match, but fell short of progressing to a second consecutive semi-final.
France's opener, a brilliant long-range strike from Aurelien Tchouameni, was overshadowed by an earlier tackle on Bukayo Saka as England were attacking but Sampaio waved play on. Les Bleus then went to the other end and delivered an early blow. A similar situation occured again in the first half but didn't result in a clear-cut chance.
The world champions had 14 fouls throughout the game and received three yellow cards, but none until the 43rd minute, by which time they had been pulled up seven times. Maguire, who was booked late on in the game, wasn't happy with the refereeing performance.
