If Southgate replaces Foden with Saka, Rashford for Sterling and Mount for Henderson then i'd be highly miffed .... and im Welsh !
Day 15: France vs Poland | England vs Senegal (Last 16 3&4)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Gana Gueye being suspended for tonight is huge for England.
I'd think so, but I dont think going forward is going to be their main priority.
TV4 here just had nice report on Tek Szczesny. He is such a likeable character. Apparently a Pianist and a songwriter as well.
Well, let's give the world Cup to England then, full starting XI in the PL.
Complete non-sense.
Outside of Krychowiak, all their midfielders are pretty good at going forward, that was a problem for them when they played 2 upfront with Swiderski or Milik alongside Lewa. It's a much better setup for them in my opinion.
Plus Birmingham City legend Jude Bellingham
I was thinking about the counter attacks, Zalewski is very good at attacking the spaces and France will leave some behind... But I was a bit wrong, it seems Bereszynski will be used as a third CB. Not what Zalewski excels in. So the reasonable comparison for him would be Frankowsky, who apparently plays the same role (wingback) for Lens. I don't know him.
Poch doesn’t come across as the most insightful. Maybe it’s just his English.
Hopefully Poland can bore France into a defeat.
Why does it feel that anthem is going a bit quick.
Indeed
I wonder what happened to Wales and his PL/Premiership quality, they lost to Iran who had many players in the iranian and turkish league.
Yea I copied/pasted that lineup but it'll be 3 at the back most likely. Franskowski is the one I'm the most familiar with since he plays in Ligue 1, he's been a very good replacement for Clauss at Lens but I dont know if he's good enough for that level, espeically since he's more offensive minded, he's gonna need to play safer since he'll have to deal with Mbappé and/or Dembélé.
142nd cap for Lloris. Amazing they haven't got someone better for so long.
Boyzlife. Ireland should pay for crimes against humanity.
I think Poland will surprise people today, they've conserved themselves all tournament.
They also have to win its knockouts.
They also have to win its knockouts.
Well, they could have brought in Saint-Maximin, Martial, Maupay or Digne at least?
It was a joke.
Let's see if Poland spend as much time on the carpet as the last game.
Why is Kounde allowed to play with a necklace ?
Was thinking the same, not something you see very often these days
Unsure if its allowed or not
Not sure I can take 90 mins of this commentator pronouncing "Griezmann"...
I went to a networking event a few years ago and saw these guys perform
Stadium looks half full
Stadium looks half empty
So you're a stadium half full kind of guy
I don't see any last 16 match can be exciting. Most have one overwhelmingly favourite team. May be Japan Croatia can entertain us, who knows.
Is Poland's kit the most flag accurate in the World Cup?
Big team don’t play for another 4 hours
Must be the worst commentary duo I've ever heard during a game.
Maignan (who's also missing this WC to injury) has been better over the last few seasons. But is that enough to bench your trustworthy WC winning captain?
Argentina is up there, only stripes not hoops as it should be.
Not sure how the commentator got Varane and Giroud mixed up.
Do the French have an all white shirt?
France?
Charles insomnia with a shout out there.
Petition to make players wear their flags like a superhero cape during the game
Blue wrong shade surely
This has the atmosphere and feel of a first round League cup tie.
