Fixed xEngland haven't even gone past Senegal yet but people are already dissecting how they could never beat France.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
I really hope they did.Well possible, used to live with two french guys
Distance, his back was turned. I don't like the current handball rules in general.
I have England going through. Not gonna be easy but you just have more killers in your team. If Gueye and Mane were available, I'd go for Senegal
France are gonna get kaned bruv, Kaaaaaaaaaned, Kaaaaaaaaaned.
Again, he was allowed to stop before hitting the ball? Now is that a fair penalty?
Thank feck the Poles are knocked out of this WC.
Now over to you now Senegal to knock the English out
Now over to you now Senegal to knock the English out
Again, literally happened yesterday.The sheer arrogance is ridiculous. You don't see people already planning tactics for teams like France, Brazil(actual favorites) for their final yet some people are just giving England gimmies.
Lewandowski looked like a right prick there. Celebrating like he had just scored the winner.
Did nothing the whole game. Stat padding arse

Back in the day it wouldnt have been given.
But under the new rules + VAR thats a pen every day of the week.
It would be given in the prem.
A real game? Mbappe against Maguire? Will be like a hot knife through butter.
Poland had a great first half, the game was opened by Mbappe great pass to Giroud.
They did OK comparing their group stage games

Not sure what kind of regional stereotypes people have in France, but they were from Alsace if that helps
Ok, so far no upsets and no extra times in the Round of 16. We’re due for one… maybe Senegal?
The whole penalty stuff was unnecessary, embarrassing and farcical. What the actual feck has happened to football officiating?
I’m scared of Mbappe.
Poland an absolute joke of a team. Losing 2-0 fine don't chase the ball or do anything remotely resembling effort. Losing 3-0 try to score like your child's life depended on it. Then they get a lucky penalty for no reason. So easy to lose 3-0 and eff off. Unbelievable.
Football may well be the only truly global sport but the WC does seem to boil down to the same sides. France really have nailed player development. Probably another WC incoming for them.
All those criticising lewa for celebrating, not one of the polish players looked arsed there at the end
Feels like they didn't have a healthy mindset in that, they knew they were gonna lose and were just getting the game out the way.

They really should make a rule preventing these stulid run ups
He probably gave it cause it was 3-0, game was dead.
Don't think he give such a bland penalty if the game is 1-1 or 1-0, especially against a big team.
Been hearing it for 26 years. Keep dreaming pal
Poch for a man who lived and worked in England for as long as he did his English as awful.
Poor guy, you just don't see that it's coming home.
Yeah that was pathetic
Some great shoots today
Maguire vs Mbappe is going to be like an episode of "Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner".
Not at that distance you dense cnut.
It was just a scenario example tbh, same as people desperate pre tournament to see Brazil-Argentina as SF and that's not far off happening now.The sheer arrogance is ridiculous. You don't see people already planning tactics for teams like France, Brazil(actual favorites) for their final yet some people are just giving England gimmies.
I expect England to win tonight but it's no walkover although this is sort of game where Senegal will miss Mane's quality in final third. Similar to Denmark playing England without Eriksen in the euros.
Smiling and high-fiving after being dicked for 90 minutes and knocked out of the World Cup. Clown.
Some players care about stats far too much.

Hope England win, really want to see England V France. Stones and Maguire schooling Mbappe and Giroud… maybe not
That's only his 2nd world cup goal. He was just happy for that.
Nothing to hate there
Still ridiculous. I'll give you this though, Southgate England have always beaten teams that they were supposed to beat, so a victory against Senegal is very likely but at the same time Senegal have PL players that can also hurt England, so it's never as secured as people often think.
People were arguing how Holland vs Argentina will pan out at half time of the first match. It happens
Distance makes no difference if you leave your arm open like you're doing the YMCA.
This is silly. Do you check forums in those countries?The sheer arrogance is ridiculous. You don't see people already planning tactics for teams like France, Brazil(actual favorites) for their final yet some people are just giving England gimmies.
Hope England wins, cause England vs France is way more hype game than Senegal vs France.
Let's go Southgate
Let's go Southgate
His back was not turned when the ball was struck
We're not playing so we can look forward in the hypothetical. I don't think many think we will beat France if we get past Senegal.England haven't even gone past Senegal yet but people are already dissecting how they could beat France.
