We will sign off this coverage with a selection of tweets.

As usual we see disappointed faces in the England camp none more than skipper Harry Kane.

So the semi-finals are set:

Argentina v Croatia

France v Morocco

FULL-TIME! England 1 France 2. A classic quarter-final that ebbed and flowed. France took the lead before England fought back to level. Giroud's goal was the match winner as Harry Kane scored 1 penalty and crucially missed his 2nd. France go through.

FRANCE WIN!

JUST OVER! Rashford curls it over the wall and had Lloris rooted as he went to his left. But it falls on the roof of the net.

Lloris is setting up the wall.

Kingsley Coman concedes a cheap free-kick just outside the box on the inside-left channel. Can Rashford score another free-kick. It's now or never.

England bring on Jack Grealish for the injured John Stones.

8 minutes of added time.

A YELLOW CARD for Harry Maguire for a foul on Antoine Griezmann. That's incredibly England's first card of the tournament.

By the way a YELLOW CARD was shown to Theo Hernandez for giving away that penalty.

England now make another change: Phil Foden off. Marcus Rashford on.

WHAT A MOMENT AS KANE SKIES THE PENALTY OVER THE CROSSBAR. Lloris was diving to his right and Kane went the same way as his first.

HARRY KANE MISSES PENALTY!

Harry Kane again set to take another penalty.

Amidst all this England have made a double change: Henderson and Saka off, Mount and Sterling on.

What was Theo Hernandez doing there? He just barged down Mason Mount as the ball was floated towards the box. That's a shocker from Hernandez. Stonewall penalty too.

PENALTY GIVEN TO ENGLAND.

Now the referee is going to have a look at the monitor.

VAR are checking for a possible PENALTY TO ENGLAND.

GOAL! Olivier Giroud in the 77th minute! England 1 France 2. Giroudddddd! What a cross from Griezmann on the left, Giroud at the near-post gets in ahead of his marker and heads past Pickford into the corner. That is a true poacher's header.

WHAT A SAVE FROM Jordan Pickford! Giroud is found in the middle and he opts to volley and it's not to the corner, but still it's flying and Pickford makes an acrobatic save to keep out a certain goal.

SO SO CLOSE FROM Harry Maguire! Maguire with a header that kisses the outside of the post and stays out. That came from a free-kick on the right and Maguire rose tallest.

England now looking to hit France on the counter. Kane's drive is easily saved by Lloris.

Saka with another dribble from the edge of the box but his weak shot is held by Lloris.

And Mbappe leaves Walker for dead on the left, but his cutback is a bit far from Dembele who is forced wide and the chance goes.

England after the goal nearly concede again. Rabiot from midfield with a rasping drive that Pickford dives to his left to push it away.

STAT: That’s Kane’s 53rd goal for England. He now ties Wayne Rooney as England’s all-time leading scorer!

GOAL! Harry Kane in the 53rd minute! England 1 France 1. Kane takes his time as he places the ball again, resets himself and then buries an unstoppable penalty to the side-netting to his left as Lloris dives the other way. Game back level.

Great run by Bukayo Saka and Tchouameni dangles a leg at the Arsenal man. Clear penalty as he is brought down. What a chance for England to level.

PENALTY TO ENGLAND!

WHAT A SAVE from Lloris. Bellingham on the half-volley thunders one which is going to the crossbar or maybe even in, but Lloris palms it over.

YELLOW CARD To Ousmane Dembele for his challenge on Jude Bellingham.

Second half begins.

HALF-TIME! England 0 France 1. France lead after a superb strike from Tchouameni. England though have come back and are bossing possession. Still no credible threat on goal from them though.

4 minutes of added time.

YELLOW CARD TO Antoine Griezmann for cynically bringing down Kyle Walker.

Then from the corner, the ball does not fall to an England shirt from 4 yards. France clear.

GOOD SAVE BY Hugo Lloris. Kane drives one from outside the box, it takes a deflection but Lloris punches clear as it was heading towards goal.

Big moment in the game.

And they see nothing in that. Upamecano brings down Kane as they go shoulder to shoulder. Kane goes down. VAR checks and decides it is not a penalty.

VAR ARE CHECKING FOR A POSSIBLE PENALTY ON HARRY KANE!

Saka is fouled on the inside-right channel. He gets a free-kick 25 yards out of goal. Luke Shaw on his left-foot takes it but straight at Lloris who clutches the ball.

GOAL! Aurelien Tchouameni in the 17th minute! England 0 France 1. What a strike that is from outside the box. It comes with Saka being bundled off the ball by Upamecano who finds Mbappe, he rides Rice's challenge and finds Dembele on the right, who finds Griezmann, he passes to Tchouameni and with an arrowed strike from bodies outside the box, he plants it in the left-bottom corner.

Rabiot nicks the ball in miidfield and makes a darting run and crosses to Mbappe on the left, who finds Dembele at the back stick but it's too far out of his reach.

First real chance of the game as Dembele crosses from the right and Giroud's header is straight at Pickford. Did not get the power behind it.
