France mid is shite but stopping Mbappe and Dembele is probably a non-starter. Walker struggling with Sarr. Shaw could do alright 1vs1.
By n8 dogg Go To PostWent from an okay first half to a great first half in the space of twenty seconds. Seems like they were a bit surprised by the strength of the press early doors - not helped by Mags and Stones having brain farts - but the second there was some space on the counter they made it count. Bellingham is a wonderful footballer.I think you have to excuse their bad passing for the utter lack of any availability infront of them
By MF Coom Go To PostWalker, Maguire vs. Mbappe 💀💀Mbappe cuts in from the left so it will be Walker & Stones

By NiceGuy Go To PostGET IN
We're getting battered by France even if we get through, but still.
I don't necessarily see this. They're better and should win, but might suit us playing on the counter.

Oh, I agree. Bellingham playing deeper would work better. But I don't think it's necessarily going to be the plan in any game going forward. We'll be the underdogs vs France if we get through, would be vs Spain, would be vs Brazil/Argentina.

Maguire arguably been the best CB at the tournament so far, tbh.

Ake is up there too tbh. And I never thought I’d be saying that but he’s been a beast.
Jordan Henderson dribbles a bit like a veteran rapper when they elongate or compress the syllables of words to stay on beat.
And applies loads of different textures and touches to the ball with his feet and wonder "How did your mind put that together?”

Yeah, been very good.

Need to acquire Enzo.

Senegal giving away far to much space against quality Frontline. One bad pass and all opens up

All we had to do was ride out the first 30 mins of pressing and made them really pay for it.
By n8 dogg Go To PostJust the twelve goals in four games for defensive Gareth Southgate's boysan indictment on Senegal.
France will be the real test.

France will be the real test.
Sure, but I'm already feeling bored by the 'disappointing quarter final exit' articles I'll read after going out to them.
Had fun at this WC. Think we've got a 40% chance to make a WC semi. I'll take that.
By Daz Go To Postan indictment on Senegal.Saka hat trick. EZ
France will be the real test.
By Daz Go To PostFrance will be the real test.Wasn't Senegal the first real test?
Big decisions for Gaz for the QF tbh. Does he keep the same team? Does he bring in Mount for Foden and keep it tighter? Does he move to 3 at the back?
By n8 dogg Go To PostSure, but I'm already feeling bored by the 'disappointing quarter final exit' articles I'll read after going out to them.France will win 2-1 or 1-0 I think, enter it in your superbru, I have 48 points I know what im saying

By n8 dogg Go To PostI don't necessarily see this. They're better and should win, but might suit us playing on the counter.Maybe. I have a bad case of punditis where I look at France beat Australia and think they look great, then look at us beat Wales and think 'it's only Wales'
Whether France are that good or not though throughout the team, Mbappe could easily be the big difference between us. Assuming we don't bottle this lead of course.
