All the England focus will be on Mbappe - but Dembele up against Shaw, and Griezeman drifting in between midfield and forward positions will decide the game.
England's weak area is the defence, with Mbappe always cutting in from the left, it'll cause them problems on their right side. Giroud is also a danger to them with his athleticism and unpredictability. If Bellingham, Rashford, Foden, and Kane are on their top game I can see England doing well and winning. The first proper test for both teams.
To qualify 3/4 France 13/10 EnglandIve not seen the bookies odds, id guess France are slight favs to get through would be close though maybe 4/6 and 11/10.
France do look very strong and powerful all over the pitch and ofcourse have the star player of the tourney so far. England have had a nice run of fixtures but they have been pretty ruthless. A lot will depend on the England defence and keeper.
I will defo have a bet on penalty kick agony for England just incase because i wouldnt be surprised if even extra time does not decide it.
Would like to see England win right enough as it’s always funny living up here and listening to the madness that follows.
You wouldn’t rather a British team win?We'll never hear the fucking end of it. That's why.
Agree.Good point.
Defence haven’t been tested yet.
What good attacking sides have they played?They have lost 2 goals their first game and none since
I think it is 60/40 England
I too think the team that wins the game will have the best chance of winning.Tend to agree. If either of them can concede less than the other then that’ll go a long way too
This, French forward line will give them a really hard time.For all England's superb attacking riches, their backline is very weak and a better team than Senegal would have taken advantage last night.
I agree mate , I don't think there's one team in the tournament that I'd say were a good side . The overall standard of international football is poor which gives England a good chance of winning it.There hasn't been a stand out team at the tournament. If England get through, and Southgate goes for it, then no reason they can't go on and win it.
France by a few, diddy McGuire will get ripped to shreds.
