Why England will beat France.

[tayuma]

Close game with the French coming at on top.

I am not sure what formation Southgate will deploy, will he stay with 4 at the back? or go 5 at the back?
England winning this will be down to discipline and good counter attacking play.

Both Maguire and Stones do not feel me with much confidence in the heart of the defence against a team like the French unless the DM and CM are resolute to cover them because both are liable to switching off while defending.

iftosay KAnte and Pogba dey this game , i for don talk France 100%....but I call it 50-50 due to France missing to many players

You people with your EPL world view. The current Ballon d'Or winner is missing for France and he doesn't get a mention. Pogba would have been a liability in midfield due to his laziness. Kante will be missed for his energy in attack and defence. But the biggest miss is Benzema.

What I like is the focus on Mbappe by the English. Hopefully, this gives the likes of Dembele the space to destroy them.

this is a very racist comment . what the crap do you mean "you people"

[marko]

England 2 France 1

[kajifu]

England looks like will be playing final along with Argentina.

Two words. Waterloo. Nothing new here, the best the Blue coats had to offer was routed south of Brussels. They’ve never recovered. Canons at the ready.

“Pardon Monsieur, ou es le chambre du…”

“Fiyaaaaaaah!!!!”

Deschamps might have all the Napoleon dynamite but what’s a fire cracker to a full Wellington?

The game will indeed be defined by tactics and Admiral Gareth WH Southgate will do the needful. Would come as no surprise if he switches to a back five, in fact, it would be foolhardy to do otherwise. Walker whistling Lionel’s Stuck on You into Kilian’s earhole whilst going man to man like a WWF Battle Royal. Noteworthy reducer within the first 5 minutes, over the top rope and he’s out of it.

It would be Trippier wingbacking but personally would go trump card Trent Alexander (the conqueror) Arnold. Inverting to add a little extra to the midfield, underlapping, overlapping, wandering free, like the Wombles of Wimbledon Common. Duke and Dec in the midfield, Kane dropping deep, is it a 3 is it a 4, more overload than the red legginged magnificence in the Amapiano namesake.

5-4-1, 3-4-2-1, 5-2-3, 3-4-3, who is it? And it doesn’t seem to matter and it doesn’t seem right, ‘cause the will has brought no fortune, still I cry alone at night. Don't you judge of my composure, ‘cause I'm lying to myself and the reason why she left me did she find in someone else? Who is it?!

Bosh.

So, your Senior Service boys couldn’t keep up with the rented thoroughbreds after all. Back to the drawing boards it is…

I actually like England and won't rub it in. I detest English media, pundits, and a lot fans for their infamous arrogance and patronizing.

So I'll repeat: England once again heroically falls out. And whatever the score, it comes down to not having enough of the composure, guile, and skill of better schools of football.

England have gotten more skilled, fair enough. But still don't have enough. Their midfield still cannot control and weave with bossing command for 90s minutes. There is not 1 true midfield general, but a collective...and the collective is not strong enough compared to other powers.

That Kane miss was a microcosm of the England experience. King Harry missed in his moment. Happens so often.

Coach, you say it more poetically than I do. So say it here. ABEG!!!

[mcal]

...I bet the ABEG group were shiiting their pants when Kane was about take the 2nd pk
Btw, did the racist go after Kane for missing the penalty like they did against the black euro final pk missers?

[airwolex]

I knew was drone hunting. Lloris had him shook.

Not true. Post the World Cup records of both teams and compare up till 1980.

Kk.

Between 1940 - 1989, those were the only Dutch appearances in WC.

Between 1930 -1970, the Dutch had played only 2 WC matches.

How was France ahead of them in your rating? They have never reached a World coup final. Never won champions League?

How was France ahead of them in your rating? They have never reached a World coup final. Never won champions League?

France have been more consistent and competitive in international competitions over a longer time. CL is Club football.

Where do countries rind their talents? They are first groomed in the national League. Ajax won a couple or champions League with Dutcj talents. France was not even close till thé 80s. France has never been to thé final of thé WC, which Holland did twice. And now you talk about consistent. Which consistency?
